Ok. So maybe this has been asked by someone already and I missed it or maybe it hasn't. For those of us who have gotten shipping notices so far. Where (roughly) do you live? Did you buy extra stuff (mags etc)? When did you buy? And obviously by TI's own statement they are fixed stock right?!
 
This is so exciting!!!!! Good thing I have 10 days in the bush coming up so that I'm not sitting on pins and needles waiting for my pair to get to me!!!! I will have to keep an eye on this from tomorrow on to see peoples pictures of theirs as they get them. Hopefully this weekend some people will have range reports and reviews too!!!! Hopefully mine will be waiting for me when I get back or shortly thereafter!!!!

Oct 29, Manitoba, fixed with extra magazines, eta Friday.
 
I've said nothing negative about TI since ordering the rifles but this shipping strategy (regardless of their reasons why) is absolutely neophyte dumb-ass.

I agree. While I sincerely appreciate that Tactical Imports has imported this unique, non restricted rifle at a decent price, my future business with them will be limited to T81 related products like mags, parts kit (one day an LMG?) because of the way this was all handled. I just cant see any real customer appreciation.
 
Custumer apreciation? LoL... Do you get any apreciation when you drop 30K at a dealer for a car ? Or even when you drop 1K on car insurance... LMFAO... They have replied to every email ive sent them. They even refunded me last year when I got tired of waiting... I guess some people feel more entitled than others...

Ill get my SKS81 eventually. But im not loosing any sleep over it. I just lucked out that the fixed stock are shipping first.

For the sake of a days work they could have provided a tremendous amount of goodwill to the early buyers but for some reason they chose to essentially put their thumbs in their eye instead. This will be the purchasers next to last memory of the purchase, not a smart move on their part if looking for repeat business. If not looking for repeat business, well then congrats you're on the right track.

You'll be very lucky to see an LMG

Honestly when I receive the rifle(s) doesn't really concern me, my point is this is a extremely poor business strategy unless you want to irritate rare and valued customers.
 
They are the only ones with T81's right now and they are paid in full. You guys asked for updates and when you get them its straight to winning.

What are you talking about, I"ve not once asked for an update nor cared for one never complained or whined about anything concerning the pre-order. My only issues were with the constant foolishness of the forum lice. Again, my point is, on the home stretch this is not a wise business decision.

actually yes, when I bought my Jeep the dealership was appreciative and showed it. I'm not saying people need freebies but first ordered first served seems reasonable seeing as some people paid in full ages ago. Also, there is a difference between customer service and appreciation.

TI is a business and they have a business to run. They don't have time to deal with the tiny vocal minority of customers with so much child-like impatience that simple knowledge that he rifles have arrived and are being shipped is not enough of a status update for them. They need to tune out the static and focus on the job at hand - shipping the rifles and not catering to incessant and pointless requests for status updates, photos and God only knows what else.

I agree but if in reply to my post that's the definition of strawman and for the most part unrelated.
