Just to check the status of the shipping progress since still no tracking for my single folder + no extra mags + quadrail pre-order.

Thanks for any update.

They stated all rifles would be repaired or replaced. The only time a 20% restocking fee comes into effect is if you just want to return it for refund.

Which is outrageous if the unit is defective seeing as they likely won't be able to replace them until next year as there are none left

What else can they do? I am fine with replacement in next shipment if it is necessary. Just want to know the shipping progress.
 
They should check the rifles to begin with. Easy. Or not charge you 20% when you don't want a rifle that's defective right out of the box.
 
Starting to get tired of waiting. Been pretty patient so far. What day did shipping start? Im going to be moving end of December. Better get it before then.

They did do random inspection. Not sure if it is practical to hand inspect every single of them or if it is a common practice of this industry. Oh well, at least there is still a next shipment of hope if it is necessary to replace.

Lots in the same boat as you... not to mention word is, some of the rifles are defective... and that TI may charge you 200 restocking fee!

actually its hard to believe that a state running arsenal factory can make such mistake if bent receiver rumor is true. Could it because the way it is being shipped? I meant foam container being stripped away, rifle just get strapped to the cardborad box. We all know how careless and rough the courier company or CP handles the parcels.

Sure if you want to wait until 2025 to get the replacement.

I highly doubt courier is to blame. Nobody has reported a bent or damaged box , just a few bent rifles.

you dont need to break the box to damage the rifle. Without proper cushion, a slam bang to the truck floor or warehouse concrete ground could cause slightly "bent" and shoots will go way off 100 yards away.

I will say that it can and does happen... which is why you should check out the box when you get it.

If its in perfect shape... then i dont think its the shipping.
 
I haven’t gotten my shipping notice yet. I’ve been pretty patient, but this is getting long winded.
I thought I read somewhere TI was going to work through the weekend to get all the orders out.
I hope to get something this week, the wait it brutal. Glad to know there are other folks still waiting.

You wouldn't think a military rifle would be so fragile as to bend in a cardboard box but hey stranger things have happened.

I have bought many new rifles over time and only one ever came in a Styrofoam supported box, that was my CZ 512T.

Lots of junk comes out of China, quality control isn't a #1 concern over there. I'm betting there manufacturing machinery is getting wore out for the Type 81 rifles and the Chinese don't give a fuch, they will sell anything.

All my rifles purchased previously came with proper suspension though, either in pre-cut foam or thick cardboard frame to suspend the rifle and prevent it from direct contact to the outer wall of the packaging box.

Communist countries only care about functionality. Back in the day, a buddy had a Type 56-S folder. The folder wasn't totally in line with the receiver either. It functioned well and was as accurate as any other AK that we both shot. He kept it, and probably still has it.
