Think the problem here is TI thinks an update is only when positive news is available. There has been many updates they could have given but chose to simply say they had no info. They find out their production start doesn't happen, that's an update. They are told the rifles will not go into production on schedule, hey that's another update. They don't visit the factory as they said they would, once again that is an update. This whole production has been done in a very shady way, I asked a few months ago about their intention to visit production once it began and it was ignored. There is no way they haven't been given a new date for production to begin, if they haven't it definitely isn't going to happen this year.
Here's some business advice, stop pretending you are the victim TI and start telling people the truth. You know the date they have given to you for production, if you don't and have given them a deposit you need to hire better people. People who gave you money will appreciate the truth rather then another runaround(winter really now your just saying a season?)
I think everyone here would appreciate to know what is going on even if it isn't good news, this mean every time you call for an update which should be everyday if you really already paid for the rifles.
A simple called today they are saying the production queue will be caught up by the end of the month would work. Give actual dates, let us know who you talked to not by name but by title(owner,manager,production manager, couldn't get past reception)
I have done and still do business with china and have never been left in the dark in fact they provided me with too many updates.
I find it hard to believe the firearm business is so different.
Tell me what date they gave you to catch up on this order? If they didn't give you a date get on the phone or email and get one. When did you give the deposit? If it hasn't happened, when will you give it to them? There is so much info you can give to us and for some reason choose not to.
