I ordered a bunch of different AR parts from
Midway a couple weeks back. A full BCG, a spare bolt, a couple receiver extensions and some other stuff. The stuff that was in stock shipped and the rest was on back order. I wasn't worried about exactly when it showed up as it was just spare stuff anyway. This morning I got an email. It is unchanged except that obviously my last name is not XXXXXXX.
-Email follows-
Dear Ryan XXXXXXX,
We have been holding some products for you,
waiting for other items to arrive so we could ship your order complete.
However, we believe an Executive Order could be released any day
prohibiting the sale of certain products such as high-capacity magazines
and AR-15 parts and accessories. Therefore we have done a partial
release of your backorders to ensure that any of these items and other
items we had in inventory waiting to ship complete are all on their way,
in case such an Order is forthcoming. You will receive a shipping
notification shortly. Other items on backorder, that we have not yet
received, are not affected by this partial release.
We appreciate
your understanding and your business. We always put Customer
Satisfaction first and believe this action is in the very best interest
of our Customers.
Sincerely,
MidwayUSA Customer Service

Maybe they are just doing this to appease customer concerns or do they know something I do not? Thoughts?
