Well, safe to say that Fed Ex will not be delivering my Encore Pro Hunter barrel and .22 Classic stock to me at this time of day (11:12 pm).
When I spoke with the woman at TC Arms, she told me that it would be delivered "...July 28th". I redirected with, "That's Saturday; UPS doesn't deliver on Saturday." The woman advised me that the items were being delivered via Fed Ex. In addition, the shipment required that I, or some adult, be here to sign. The woman did not have the tracking number.
So, I called Fed Ex to verify if a shipment was coming to me today; they not know. But, they did say that because I was told so, it was probably on its way. So, stupid me, I waited here, aaaaaaaalllllll morning, aaaaaaaalllllll afternoon, and uppers....aaaaaaaalllllll evening...no Fed Ex!
Thank-you Thompson-Center! Thank-you for shipping a defective product. Thank-you for letting it sit, and offering up an excuse that you didn't have any replacement barrels. Thank-you for shipping it via Fed Ex, and telling me repeatedly that it would arrive today, "...July 28th". Especially thank-you that it did NOT arrive as advised.
I officially place TC Arms into the same spotlight as Kimber. They are co-equals of lacking commitment, lacking quality and grab-posterioristic. Perhaps I should really be thanking S&W, because this never happened before.
