I don't own any of their uppers or lowers, but had bought ammo and mags from them a number of times. Never a complaint, and it's hard to beat some of their sales. Recently, I picked up my first AR "component" from PSA in the form of a Premium BCG. I've discussed it a couple times, but I'll bring it up again here. First, I got a crazy deal on their Premium BCG and a Magpul D60 for $128. The D60 is really what I was after and this was basically like getting a free BCG with the mag. I couldn't pass it up. The BCG overall, in terms of machining, fit and finish is just as good as the Toolcrafts I primarily run. However, there was an issue with the extractor spring. It was either the wrong spring or defective, as it wouldn't "snap" into the extractor. Oddly enough, it extracted rounds just fine when cycling manually, and I'd imagine it would have ran under normal fire. How long? That's anyone's guess.
I reached out to PSA, and alerted them of the problem. Granted, it took about 35-40 minutes on hold to get to a CS rep, but I called at a peak time of the day. I didn't mind, as I was on the road and just had my phone on speaker until someone picked up. Frankly, I was wanting a whole new extractor assembly, but would have settled for a new spring. I didn't even ask for a replacement of the entire BCG, but they insisted that be the resolution. Being that it was just a spare, it didn't bother me that I'd be out the BCG for a week or two; waiting for them to get the return so they could ship the new one. It was pretty impressive that they so willingly offered a replacement, for what was really a minor issue, so I gladly opted for their solution.
From the time they recieved my return till I had the new one in my hand was under a week. The new one was just as nicely machined and finished, and the extractor assembly was perfect. One upside I've not mentioned before kind of happened by mistake. The first BCG was their Logo version. I kind of preferred a no-logo option, but with the bundle deal I was getting, I wasn't going to be picky. Oddly enough, as I hadn't asked for it, the replacement was a non-logo BCG. Still the premium version that's MPI/HP, Chrome Lined, etc. So, while I guess it's an error that they sent one without a logo, it was an error that I was happy with.
Overall, I'm very pleased with both the product and their service. If I were looking towards a cost-conscious build, PSA would be near the top of my list.
And for anyone wanting that same Premium BCG and Magpul D60 bundle deal, they're actually running it this weekend. Even for those that turn their nose up at PSA, if you're in the market just for a D60, that deal has to be pretty enticing.

I'll give my PSA journey experience. 4xPSA Premium BCGs(3 had terrible staking). Missing parts in my last 2 out of 3 orders. It took them over a month each time to fix the issue and even sent the wrong parts to somebody in Ohio. After telling them I was going to have my CC company step in was my order fulfilled. They did eventually get it right. I was shooting a Colt MK18 ModO built by AJ Brown the other day that belonged to my BIL. He was using a PSA premium BCG. Multiple FTEs. I pulled out a spare Colt BCG and it ran like a top. Parts ain't parts. Drops Mic.............
