You ordered right before Christmas. Everybody sells out of everything this time of year and for tax purposes they don't restock until after the new year. Apparently, they are making a lot of other people happy because they are selling out of lots of stuff.
There are several Academy stores within an hours drive and one only 20 miles away. I get in one of them pretty regularly. Just like any other store there are things I like about them and things I don't like. I can always buy guns and ammo cheaper at a couple of local gunshops. I don't even price that type of thing at Academy.
As far as clothing, shoes, hunting gear etc. Academy falls between Walmart and Cabelas/BPS as to quality and price.
I did order a couple of pairs of pants and shirts from them in the past. I couldn't find the size and colors I wanted in local stores. Unlike companies such as LL Bean, Cabelas, REI, Midway and others they aren't really set up to be good at online orders. Online orders are a sideline for them. They are set up to stock brick and mortar stores.
