"Good luck in getting a reply> I ordered 5 guns from him in the middle of december and still have not had a reply."

First of all we value ALL customers, if you do not get a confirmation of your order within 24-48 hours vall or e mail.... Don't wait three months....

Second, please e mail me john@marstar.ca with your name and the approximate date the you sent in your order so I can review the matter, I can't check "boogieman" in the data base.

"On looking on his website I see he has sold some of what I ordered to others."
Not certain I understand, how can you tell who we sold to by visiting our site ??

I look forward to hearing from you
John

DACTON;
"nobodies got a shipment in awhile,"
Please understand that Marstar is the major importer in Canada, we sell Norinco products to most of the dealers, when we run out, they run out....

In 2010 we lost almost 6 months because of shipping interdictions in the Guanzou area because of major sporting events....
Our transit permit ran out, sea-going bookings cancelled, etc, etc....

Many products were ordered over a year ago, such as the 1911a1 government (Parkerized), we have just been notified they are ready, Frank will be checking them out next week while in China, then we ship....

It should be clear that these factories do NOT inventory, they manufacture as needed.... We place an order, they schedule it and then produce it, this can take months....

Re the 1887 shotguns,
We have been back ordered from the factory for over a year....

Thanks John- will keep an eye on the site for an update. Wish there was, if not a pre-order list, an interested-parties list.

Thanks again.

[Dacton]

Yeah thanks John for the detailed response!

...gotta tell ya, I like getting these little tidbits as to how it works in the biz.

Good luck to all getting your newest toy! And making the sale.

I used to work for a manufacturing company in Asia in sales capacity to Europe.

Considering the cost of materials, overhead, and the nature the product, it is normal not to keep inventory. Besides, most buyer would not pay right away. Considering the matter of Canadian law and RCMP, when the shipment of T97 was seized, would Norinco get the money within timely schedule, etc. A lot of factors come into play, folks. It is good to wait for now.

John, if you need someone to go to China again, let me know. hehehe.:-)
