NO COMMUNICATION!

6/8/21:

ZERO STARS for customer service. I placed an order on the 2nd and it shipped on the 3rd (all good there). Since then it has been lost for over 2 weeks (and still is) and rather than sending a follow-up item, customer service tells me their current policy is that I must wait another 2 weeks and file a lost package claim. Infuriating. I have called twice and have asked to speak with a manager over the past few days, being assured someone would reach out. Still no follow-up. Good to know that this is how OP treats its long-time customers.

OpticsPlanet reported my order was Lost
March 29, 2025

Optics Planet claimed to have lost an order for Two Stream Lights yet money has been taken out of my account. I finally requested my money back and ordered the flashlights from another company. I called Optics P and was to be on hold for about 15 minutes. I yelled into the phone and suddenly had Customer Service pick up the call. They claimed it wasn't lost... BlaBlaBla and it was to arrive that afternoon. It arrived so I have four flashlights now and will give extras as Xmas presents. I've blocked Optics Planet and will never use them again.
