Ive emailed them twice & followed up with 2 calls, have told Bruce on the phone i want to order these items...
No email reply at all, even after chasing the emails by phone...
Unfortunately the service ive experienced is probably worse than LGS (at least they tell you no).
After waiting so long, i ended up contacting the manufacturer in US directly & they emailed back the next day with direct instructions on how to order.
My experience dictates that i cant speak well of Brownells at all...from my view point they're just another big player who cant be bothered.
Wow! That sucks
I've had seven orders with them now with zero problems at all. Had a batch of pistol brass, bullets and dies released from Customs yesterday so should have it next week.

Not if they come via Brownells.com.au - bought several mags myself through them. They'll be in customs for a few weeks as they're busy cracking down on illegal imports of tiny plastic balls currently.

They have an automated email system that spits out updates. I noticed the order at the Iowa warehouse wasn't actioned for 10 days after I paid.
If simple reloading gear is stuck at Customs (as it has been for over 10 day now), then perhaps it's because they bundle all items (benign and prohibited) into the the same shipment.
In the time I've been waiting, I've had unrelated stuff delivered from China by ship.
