Melon products

[Jimbo]

I ordered a barrel and a hammer from Charles Melon on Jan. 19 and still haven't got it, is this typical from him?

I ordered stuff from two different companies on Feb. 14 and didn't get them until Friday.  I think the winter storms  seriously disrupted things lately.

I had never visited his website until just now after reading your post.

It looks as he has some nice products at reasonable prices.

I occasionally sell stuff on eBay and make sure to inform the buyer of the tracking number, that way the buyer knows that I have completed my end of the process and that any delays are due to the delivery process and can at least know how the item is being bounced around and where it is being held up.

Did Mr. Melon give you a tracking number?

Keep us posted on what is going on and that will help me know whether on not to order from his website.

I have order items from Charles several times.   Mostly .22 caliber SS flow-through probe/bolts.

Always good stuff, always arrives.   Ocassionally in two weeks, frequently longer.

My only experience with him resulted in a cancelation due to my on impatience and his (lack of) communication style, but everything I've read indicates he's on the up and up. I just don't believe making parts for airguns is his first interest.

He takes a long time generally.

Good, fast, cheap: pick 2.

It's worth the wait IMHO.

I kinda agree with you Sweller and this is the second time I've ordered from him and no tracking numbers.

I always plan ahead with Mellon orders   (Plan ahead - very rare commodity for me)

Try Banggood.   Seven weeks for my last order.    (and make that my last order)

Bad, Cheap, Slow  -  Pick all if you wish.

Yep, he's not quick, but definitely reliable. Good stuff cheap.
