Misc Is this “Canadian safety course” a legitimate retail website?

I've been looking for some Monstrum optics (i know i know, I'm cheap) for my rf224. But barely see them on Canadian websites. This Canadian safety course has some listings, but I don't know if it is a trustworthy seller.

Ordered from them twice before, and both orders arrived within a week. I placed my third order about a week ago, but it still hasn't even shipped. I emailed them to check if there was any issue with my order, but I haven't received a response yet.

I understand they're a drop shipper, and I was okay with that because my previous orders were processed and shipped relatively quickly. Unfortunately, my experience with this third order has been disappointing so far.

Some of their inventory is in stock, some of it is drop shipped and im pretty sure this is a side gig for whoever runs it.

Ive used this business for quite awhile for the convenience and price, speed is good usually if they have it in stock but I generally ordering assuming the site isn't up to date, but I have always got everything i ordered.

All of my items were listed as 5+ in stock, so I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that information to be accurate. Otherwise, what's the point of showing inventory levels or marking items as "In Stock".

I do appreciate that they have one of the largest selections of firearm parts in Canada, even if some items genuinely marks as 3–4 weeks to arrive.

My biggest issue isn't the wait—it's the communication and expectation management. If they had simply replied and said, "Our inventory is out of sync" or "This item is actually backordered and will take longer," I would've adjusted my expectations accordingly.

Instead, my order has been sitting there with no updates, no response to my email for days, and the item is still shown as in stock. Based on other threads here, some people have been waiting weeks or even months without hearing anything.

I don't think it's the customer's responsibility to assume the inventory on the website isn't accurate. We can only base our expectations on the information the they provides, and what makes the situation worse is the complete lack of communication.
