Absolute deporable business practices being conducted by Alexander Arms. Back in the spring I decided to buy an upper in the 6.5 Grendel chambering. Upon checking with the company was informed there was a six month or longer lead time. Inquiring about buying a barrel was informed it would probably be four months before the order could be filled. At the time that worked for me so order one in July.
Fast forward nearly five months and still the barrel hasn't been shipped. During the same time frame I ordered three other barrels from manufacturers who also indicated long lead times. However all three companys filled there outstanding order within thirty days. Considering the firearms industry this past year with unprecidented orders I believed they were doing a good job filling orders.
Today received a sales flyer from a mail order company who has had 6.5 Grendel uppers for sale on and off since last spring. After the third cycle of uppers being available and then sold out only to available again I finally wised up to Alexandra Arms unethical business practices. Might add there uppers went up nearly $300 since this spring which is the barrel price.
Since this is a free country I will do with them what I've done with GM, Chryslar, Sears, K-Mart and others who practice unethical business by refusing to buy products from them. I must not be alone in my decision because every one of these companies has ended up filling bankrupcy.
Rather the ethical practice of suspending barrel orders during this period they unethically continued accepting orders knowing they would not be filling any while there complete uppers were selling for inflated prices. Its too bad as I've heard good things about the chambering.
