About 2 months ago I ordered some things from Titan. I made sure they were in stock BEFORE placing the order. In the time it took for my money order to reach them (5 days) one of the items was switched to 'out of stock' on their site. Of course I smugly thought to myself 'ha, suckers, I got the last one'. Apparently not so. I soon got the email telling me it was out of stock and the order would be held until it was back in. The other message I got was to NOT email asking about the backorder status because LEE doesn't notify them of shipments. So.....is anybody else in the same boat? Are all US dealers THAT low on supplies like bullet moulds?! I'd like to hear some recent horror stories because as we all know....misery loves company!
 
My one and only order from Titan was perfect. Payment by MO, which they did not receive for many days following your order is the reason why it was not held for you. It makes sense that items would not be removed from stock pending payment. If you had paid with a credit card I am sure the item would have been removed from stock as soon as your credit card was charged. I order from Brownells frequently, and yes it appears that many reloading supplies/tools are on backorder.
 
Yeah, I know M/O will screw things up but it's worth the peace of mind for me to not use VISA online. I knew things were bad down there as far as guns and ammo, but I find it hard to fathom such a huge demand for bullet moulds too. I guess its the scenario of nobody seeing it coming and the few in stock items went fast. Heck of a way to jumpstart the economy.
 
I waited a month for back-ordered lee 9mm dies but once in stock they came quite quickly. I am currently waiting for 45acp dies and a 4 hole turret press, been about a month, it will probably be a while longer. stock is very hard to come by except for the expensive stuff. was at cabelas in dundee last month (massive store), not much to choose from or I would have brought the stuff home with me instead of ordering from titan.
 
I recently ordered a few Lee parts from Titan,and got them in 10 days or so,very happy with the service,however,any reloading equipment including Lee is really hard to come by in the US what with all the panic buying going on.Ive been very happy with Titan in the past,so Im sure that they will ship as soon as they have stock.If you need anything Lee related,have you tried higginsons here?,they are ususally pretty well stocked with Lee stuff
 
I used Titan for my Loadmaster and all went well.It cost me an extra 80 bucks for UPS but besides that it was just as I expected.Depends on how you had it shipped it may be sitting at the border in pergitory getting taxed to hell :)

I have bought from Titan, but found inventory to be spotty .

Try this place. They are a large stocking dealer and normally have great stock and ship quickly.

Tried FSRELOADING. Good to deal with. No problems. Titan just happened to be a bit cheaper. I really am amazed at the BS panic buying. They aren't changing any laws that might affect reloading gear!!.........ARE THEY?!

I've ordered from FSReloading before and no problems. However my orders are shipped to the US, so shipping is much, much cheaper.

Recently, both Titan and FSRELOADING are out of stock of most items. When things come in, they only last a day or two.

I haven't bought anything from LEE that has failed me yet. Same with my LYMAN, RCBS and REDDING stuff. Any particular point you're attempting to make?

Let's just say that I wouldn't be in a rush to get any Lee reloading equipment.
 
Except of course the lee collet die right?

The pickiest and most anal benchresters even use the collet die, the point is, not all Lee products are junk, just, well... Most of it lol
 
Titan has been great, Robin and Dennis are quick at responding to email and shipping. Have a dozen orders over the past couple of years, order before 9am PST, ship same day when paid by (FRAUD ALERT) (yup, evil (FRAUD ALERT) that we all hate but gets the darn job done).

Once (FRAUD ALERT) payment completes stock is immediately reserved (see stock number drop).

Everything there is selling like hotcakes, been waiting weeks for molds to be in stock. Had over 180 mold handles last week, just 137 now.




Haters gonna hate. When one has nothing positive to contribute they spread hate :(

I wouldn't worry as you are only ordering Lee stuff.

TR has a new feature (or I just noticed it) to enter your email to be informed when item is back in stock.

Have you check the stock of your OOS mold, has it ever got back in stock since you ordered?

I added my email for notice for several molds, the 357, 44 molds have been OOS for a while.

Titan has been fantastic for me. I have over a dozen orders in the last year or so. Only ever ordered one thing on backorder on purpose, 9mm 4 die set, and they shipped it as soon asthwy got stock, before putting any into inventory. I always use (FRAUD ALERT) for them, it's a smooth transaction.

Everything else I have bought from them shipped in less than 24 hours and was here in a week to 10 days. And I chose the cheapest USPS option too.

There is a crazy run in the states on equipment, and those with the best prices sell out fast. If they have stock, they're likely asking more than everyone else.
