Hey all, I ordered 1000 boolits from MBC 7 days ago. I haven't had any kind of notice of shipment. What have people found their fulfillment time to be recently?

From their site:
How long will it take for you to fill my order?
Most orders are completed within a week. However, some aren't. Why? We have too many bullets and they are all priced too cheaply, hence demand is tremendous.

I saw that on their site, that's why I didn't email them. Just curious what people are finding nowadays. Is "some aren't" 2 weeks or 12 weeks? That's what I'm polling the forum for. :)
If it's going to be a while, that's fine, but I'll go order from somewhere else so I can keep reloading in the meantime.

Everyone loved them for shipping within hours/couple days and good price. I ordered their "Magic Alloy" and box took a long, long trip around the country and finally ended up in California after about a month. Not their fault, a USPS screw-up

They shipped my in 4 weeks a few months ago.
They sell a LOT of lead slugs! So be patient.

just picked up 2k of .452 swc at the post office that I ordered on monday. I would give them a call. You should have gotten a confirmation email as soon as you ordered and then another one when they filled the order and shipped it.
Your experience is nothing like what I have experienced or even heard of.

I got the order confirmation, but no shipping notification. Thanks for the feedback, hithard. I'll wait until Wednesday and give them a jingle.

I placed my first order with MBC at the end of October. It hadn't shipped by Christmas, so I cancelled it.

Is there another company you guys like to use? I normally wouldn't mind waiting for something like this, but I have zero 357/38 bullets right now, just starting to build up the inventory.

That's why we cast our own boolits! That way there's no shipping and the only ones to blame is you!

I just bought 500 105gr. .357 boolits and 500 .40 155gr. lswc boolits and it took about a week to get them.

Buy some molds, get after it. Don't look back. I got plenty of everything I need.

It's a bit too chilly out there to start casting! Spring project for sure. :)

Melt more lead, you'll stay warm!

Really taiden, that is why I started casting. Get all the lead you can find (and then some) and do some casting. I used to think a few hundred rounds was a plenty for storage. I know think by the thousands. I have more cast boolits than I will probably ever shoot but who cares! They can always be melted down by someone else if I don't use them.

Just trying to take this hobby one step at a time. :) I just started reloading two weeks ago!
Turns out that the order hadnt shipped because I selected a bullet that they don't make often, so that was holding up the order. I told them that I had no problems cancelling that portion of the order and change over the quantity of the more available bullets I had also ordered. The woman on the phone (Joanne?) was very helpful and said she'd look into it and make any necessary changes. Great customer service.
