I called yesterday and was told these would arrive in canada mid september
That's what in was told via pm. Last time I had anything clear customs it took 10 days. So a week plus 10 days puts us to Sept 2. And thats if it goes right. My order was 1 item. 100s of items are going to take longer as cbsa has to manually verify every item on the manifest. So I bet about 3 weeks there and that puts us to the middle of September. I was assured they are on the way and that's enough for me.
Its not a speedy process and its not IRG fault that the state department put an embargo on all chinese firearms and voided the export permit that had 2 chinese guns on it. Don't get me wrong I hate waiting as much as the next guy but to blame IRG for something completely out of their control is a little harsh. I never seen where they said they had them in their possession.
They told me on the phone yesterday that they are at the facility in arizona and there was a issue with the import permit
But would be in mid september, again not an issue was just curious on a rough eta
I don't mind waiting - when I have updated information. It can be as simple as an updated thread post that says "no change today" or "permit still pending".
What grinds people is when there is complete and utter silence, they get jumpy and start to complain.
TLDR: online retailers/importers can save themselves a tonne of grief by updating a status thread - even daily if that's what it takes. Takes all of 10s to type and hit submit...
Y'know... laptops, tablets, phones, desktops, etc etc etc.

Over last few years a number of exclusive Canadian distributor have tried to bully people into not dealing with IRG by stating that they will not provide any warranty if the firearm was not imported by the "official" channels. I also remember reading on a number of different occasions, that any firearm purchased from IRG will come with full warranty.
The way it was explained to me, your firearm would be shipped back to IRG instead of the official distributor for warranty work.
IRG - can you confirm?
Cheers,

Yes, you are absolutely correct GreenBob, we look after all warranty work through the US. Should you have a warranty problem please contact the Canadian sales office at 780-449-7220 ext 4 or you can email Carolyn at carolyn@irunguns.ca and she will get an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) out to you. These items are returned when the truck goes back to Arizona with the items that we import into the US.
Have a great morning.
