Opticsplantet WTF
I placed an order for a scope with Opticsplanet and this is what happened?
Called to check price and availability?
They said scope available, with 5% discount, will ship today. Completed transaction. Checked my bank account, confirmed, money transfered.
Opticsplanet to send emails confirming order and email with tracking number.
That day received email confirming purchase order and was shipped. No tracking number.
Next day get email order on “HOLD” need your response? Opticsplanet needs statement that I am not sending scope out of country and intended use of said scope. I returned email and called, said everything ok will ship tomorrow?
Today get another email, order on “HOLD” need your response. This email stated opticsplanet needed to do a test transfer of a small amount of $$ so I could confirm that transaction and return call to them of this transaction and only then could they ship my scope. Only other option was to cancel order and reorder using “PAYPAL” or “GOOGLE ????” for payment…………?
WTF. I canceled the whole deal and will be ordering my scope from another company.
Good luck to All who order from ” OPTICSPLANET”

What kind of scope was it?
I can see them wanting to do some checks if you were ordering a high dollar scope. Still though, I can see it being annoying.
Sounds like you may have done something to make them a little suspicious. 😕
i have had that occur for online pokersites (fulltilt poker) it is quite common they bill you for 28 cents or so then you call your card company and ask for the amount of transaction and then tell them. its so they know you arent using a stolen card.

Optics Planet are legit – I’d reorder if I wanted it.
I’ve ordered a bunch of stuff from them and their customer service has always been ok to me when I’ve had a (couple) of problems.
