Who is buying a Type81?

I had a crazy thought that the ship is in and the guns are at customs with............a few concerns...... and TI is trying to get through them before we panic.............might have been a dream or hallucination

Anyone else have these thoughts?
 
If it departed China at the beginning of September, and is scheduled to arrive sometime in Port by Oct 11... I'd consider that a reasonable pase. Considering I've ordered small items from China on eBay that have taken MONTHS to ship
 
This full price pre-ordering thing really sucks. Merchants really should only start selling once they have got the goods. The waiting is killing me....and out of over a thousand bucks, meaning to get the rifle end of Sept, as advertised. Just saying......

They don't have the capital to buy these up front, that is why they needed your 100% down payment 2 years ago to purchase these rifles.
 
If there was a definitive way to know from port-store times I'm sure they would have shared that day. People don't understand the difference between importing guns from containers in China vs accessories or an iphone.

When a store is offering a chance at a rifle like this but the community does nothing but harp and ##### about waiting like children I doubt it makes TI or other companies want to try to bring as many things to market. You might not like it or see other companies operate like this but apparently being unique is being human, so that's fine by me. I wouldn't buy this from a CT or bass pro, so I accept that timelines and details change

I guess from that perspective, you got a point.

Yes, but will TI have the capital to refund everybody (when they didn't have the capital to make the rifle purchases in the first place) if by some unfortunate chance the RCMP say the container is a no-go and seize it?
This whole 2 year pre-order was basically them starting a "go fund me" page to buy these guns at no risk to themselves.

You just contradicted yourself.

If they don't have enuff capital to refund us fully then they are risking their business.

Remember? You said they paid next to nothing for the rifles so it's easy to find out where the huge profit went to.
 
I'm happy that TI is taking the time to bring these in and they have been nothing but great to deal with. I cancelled my first order and they were very quick to respond and got my refund right away. Reordered and can't wait to get them!
