Just an update and shout out to LMT.
I stayed up until midnight to order my 10.5 barrel, wasn't sure if the sale was limited to stock on hand and I wanted to get one. Well, their site kept kicking back my card. After a couple tires I googled the error code and it said that the billing address I was giving didn't match the billing address on file with the card issuer. WTF? Well, at midnight there isn't much you can do about it.
The next morning I called LMT and ended up talking to Joe. Once he was up to speed on what the issue was, he told me no problem we'll enter it manually and get the barrel out. All was good, seemingly.
A short time later I got a call back from Joe and he told me they couldn't get it to go manually. At this point I was thinking the dang card has been hacked again. Joe suggested that I find a billing statement and give him the address as it appeared on the billing statement. I told him that I'd call him back with the info.
I called my credit card company and Mary ( I write these folks' names down) kind of laughed and said that this sometimes happened, some processing systems were tighter than others. In my case I had spelled East out, and they had it listed as 'E' also I had left off AVE. Now, I use this card online all over the place, and this is the first time this address not being EXACTLY the same had cropped up.
I called Joe back and he said they would get it entered. I never heard back but later the same day received an email receipt saying they had charged my card, but no indication as to what for. Last night, I got online and went to my account at LMT, no completed order noted online. Since it was Saturday evening, I made a note to call LMT on Monday, thinking to myself, 'boy Christmas Eve, that's going to be a mad house.'
Today, Sunday, USPS delivered my barrel.
A lot to read to deliver the sentiment that LMT is a good company to do business with.
