Ordered my grendel this morning....

[Variable]

Good luck. Ordered accessories, rounds etc direct from AA in Jan 2013. The email below was sent to me on July 8, 2014. Waited over a year for my Upper 20" to be delivered to dealer. Ordered Upper Dec 2012 received April 2014.

We are contacting you regarding your open order with us, sales order confirmation number Z12345, to discuss your continued interest in receiving the order including magazines. Because of the astronomically-high volume of orders we received in early-2013 for our specialty magazines, we continue to work very hard to process and ship these older back-orders to our customers.

We realize that many of the customers having placed these orders are no longer interested in receiving the order, but these customers have not yet notified us of this. This results in further delays in order processing for all customers. We must contact you to confirm your continued interest in this order before any further action can be taken with it.

This message is being sent to all customers with a very old back-order for our specialty magazines. Please respond to this message by Monday, July 21, 2014, to let us know if you do still want your order. If no response is received by that date, we will assume that you are no longer interested and the order will be closed. Any confirmed order will remain open and will be shipped as quickly as possible and as supplies allow.

Please be aware that some back-ordered products may have an unknown production lead time. We will contact you if there are any questions or issues related to your order. Shipment confirmations are sent automatically. Thank you very much for your consideration and patience in this matter!

Sincerely,
The Alexander Arms® Team

Yeah, I imagine a whole lot of folks besides us received that email. I was going to post it, but didn't. I was afraid that maybe my "stupidity of taking a statement with such a wide context and then translating it for maximum drama" might "annoy" Bill A. into "begrudgingly" "sharing some small amount of information".

Instead I'm just sitiing back and following the advice that "The members of this forum should pander less to sensationalism but should congratulate themselves that the demand will outstrip supply".

In all fairness they did get really slammed with orders though. That could account for a bit of touchiness. Although, if they ever fill all those orders--- they'll at least be able to congratulate themselves on receiving a lot of cash from the horde.
