Hi everyone!
Please some advise. Have anyone here order a stock from Boyds lately(or any time), how it works?
I order a stock and paid with my CC and after 3 days in the "processing"(unauthorised payment) status it has gone from my statement but no charge has been done, i also have called boyds but the don't answer the phone yet, only voice message.
Cheers.
Mac
I assume you are ringing during their working day? Time zone difference and all...
I purchased a stock off them about 6 years ago and had no issues. Good luck.
Mac, I've ordered several stocks from them.
what you describe is standard procedure. There is an initial reserve on your CC, it disappears and then they charge you when the stock is ready to ship.
I would guess that Mac would be very aware of the time dif Shooter, as he comes from far away. :thumbsup:Quote:

Don't stress it they are good to deal with. Sometimes the stock's are made to order but that is usually indicated when you place the order. I ordered one last week with a 7-10 day delay before shipping. Just recieved the tracking number that it's shipping today.
Yes US$99 limit on rifle stocks. Don't think there is a limit for shotgun stocks.
Just ordered one 3 weeks ago. Took 10 days from time of payment for it to be dispatched, it then took 8 - 10days shipping. They had to make mine. I emailed them and they responded the following day when I was checking what the delay was about.
If your order is a normal run of the mill stock and goes without complications their processes are good and it will ship once it is made. Usually about two weeks for a stock that is "in stock" and a bit longer if they have to make it.
If there is any complications, be warned, their customer service and ability to answer the phone / queries etc, is actually horrendous. I will likely order from them again but it will never be anything that could potentially require human interaction. They dont see to ever answer phone calls EVER, and emails can take longer to get an answer than international shipping. Their ability to interact with customers is sooo poor that they may as well not bother. (Ooops- forgot- They dont bother)
But the product is usually pretty good and quality control is also good. Be patient and you shall be rewarded.... mostly.
Ok fellas, here is a latest update regards my enquire.
First of all, thank you all of you guys that reply to my thread and gave me a little of peace of mind, I actually had a reply to my enquire email from them and my order was being processed, last week I got my card charged and the shipment info, boom! Early today I got a update in the process saying it has been thru the customs clearance, so, maybe by Monday I have my stock home.
Thank you once again and Boyds Gunstocks for the great service.

What sort?

Dam you, now I have somthing else I have to buy
Man, I can assure you, it looks greater in hand, their paint job is awesome, the texture is great, I now need to think in what "kind of" scope to put there. Here we go again, another "K" going out...Quote:

Not at all, it is the basic model, pro varmint no finishing and no accessories and it is for a rimfire thou.
That pro Varmint looks the business. Nice.
I cant even get onto their website anymore. Is it down? Is it just me? or are they blocking overseas viewers now?
I was in there just before, but it seems Beavis is correct any standard stock is now 129usd and therefore according to the webb site means they won't send to us ordinary people anymore.
I just went there, click find a stock, then follow the prompts to configuration and "wooalah!"Quote:

Yeah correct , but what I mean is, according to the site they won't send if over 100USD, most classic style centerfire gunstocks have now moved to 129USD.
I wonder if that decision will cost them a lot of business.
I would say so
Na the American market would more than soak it up. Avenues for legit private exports from the US are fast drying up or becoming uneconomical.
I thought the limit was us$100 (not 99) as Boyds dont want to register with state department for exports.
They have recently re-named their "Tacti-cool" to the Pro Varmint and I suspect that was so they could avoid the tactical category and sell to the Canadian market (which has a us$500 limit before requiring export permit).
I've been wanting to try a tactical style stock for a while but have never been happy with the feel of the McM A5 style as they feel to big in the pistol grip area form me. Then Boyds ahd a special on the Sako 85 Pro Varmint at us$75 so I bought one. They only make right hand ones, but they dont have palm swell so easy to convert to left hand.
Has anyone found away for getting a boyds stock now there price has gone up to us$129.
Was after there classic with a sendero barrel channel.
If I get another it will be via a mate in CanadaQuote:

Keep an eye out, I check the site at least once a week as they have specials on now n then. Two months ago I scored a lefthand thumbhole for $99. In hindsight I should have bought a bunch of them.Quote:
