That's the entire point of this thread. As a customer, I'm glad I read the whole thing.

Just one of their many shady business practices. And before anyone accuses me of making this up, here’s what the situation was.
A good friend ordered some primers and another item. The item was listed as in stock but actually wasn’t. They didn’t ship the primers which were in stock by themselves, and didn’t even set them aside so now when the item was back in stock he had to wait on the primers which sold out. Finally, about 5 months later they show as back in stock and he calls to make sure they ship out the order, and they tell him that they don’t actually have them yet but will in a week. Sure enough a week later the order ships.
But according to some on here exposing their BS just means I’m a Tenda hater because they’ve never had an issue.
After reading mixed reviews about them - I ordered some 17 hmr ammo - not sure why they would give me a tracking number right away - but only to find out a day or two later that UPS did not receive the item to ship - glad to say the item arrived yesterday (as ordered) in short - YES I will be ordering from them in the future if I am unable to drive there to purchase in store - all in all it was a good experience - thank you Tenda
It’s sad to see people wanting the best deal for the least money and then not have the patience to wait for what they wanted. If you think you’re the only person looking for those deals you are delusional. If you think you deserve front of the line service but don’t get it you’re mad. If you can’t wait for shipping from a super busy vendor or in confusing shipping times you really should shop locally, pay a bit more and have your items in your hot little hands and be happy! You got what you wanted and supported a local business. If you can’t afford financially, mentally or time sensitive to order online you should call, speak with someone in person and arrange for and pay for priority shipping. Adding on a few more bits or bobs to get free shipping. You’re risking to have your order move down the line for everything to be in stock! Sometimes things go flawlessly but other times there are a few bumps along the way! That’s life, people need to decide what they can afford in many more terms than just cost!!

This is a BS post. I order from Tenda. They are my go to guys. They always come through and have the best pricing. In the last few months I ordered 20,000 primers and 25,000 9mm bullets. Free shipping to BC, the local budget supplies can't match it. All my experiences with Tenda were 5 star, I highly recommend them.
I live 30 min away from them so I never shop online with them.
They have great price for most things especially ammo. I don’t know if you hate money but I love my money So yes it’s worth it.
And to People saying about their attitude... if you being mean why they gotta be nice. Not like you leave tip to them lmao.
I believe when you are nice, they are nice.

How is it BS. Lots of people have had issues with them. Just because you haven’t doesn’t mean others aren’t allowed to voice their concerns.
At this point I even joke with friends, especially this time of year, when the Tenda threads will start. It's free advertising because as you can see, most people have a good experience with them. Voicing concerns is fine, but it sounds to me like Tenda is a going concern with a great reputation.

Im just asking for some kind of update, an attempt to inform... a Hi we got your order but we are really backed up processing. We are hoping to have yours done by X.

All my orders over the years have been fine... no complaints here.
Its always a few squeaky wheels... I see the same posts about other vendors... "why don't they call, why don't the email, why.. oh wha.. wait.. nvm its the courier at my door with my order.

I live close to the shop so most of the time I go in to the shop. It’s usually very busy but I’ve never had a problem. The odd time I’ll order online like if they posted a sale and I want to make sure I get in on it I’ll place the order for pick up. Have been burned a few times buying online due to them over selling stock or failing to specify which items are on back order.
That said, their ammo prices are hard to beat, they price match, and anytime I need a special order I call both Tenda and Al’s.. for whatever reason Tenda has always been cheaper by $20-40.
