From what they say, they have the mags in stock.  If they don't, they'll be getting more in a day or two.  I can't really speak for the validity of this because i put in an order on christmas day and still haven't gotten a shipping confirmation yet.  Be advised that shipping from them is expensive.  I ordered 20 mags and had to pay $40 shipping.

From what they say it's the magazines that were TESTED by the IDF (Israeli Defense Force).  From some of the initial impressions that people had when they received their mags, they say it's practically like an HK magazine as far as fit and finish and can seat easily on a closed bolt with a full 30 rounds with no down-loading.

Use the code arfcom for %5 off. 

Good luck. :shaka:

Had an order placed with them as well, but no shipping confirmations yet, 3 days after ordering (I blame Firearmageddon), thought they did give order confirmations instantly from two different email sources.


BUT - Also got a confirmation just today from Brownells that they shipped out a backorder of black pmags placed on Christmas. YaY for non $PRICEGOUGE magazines.


btw, link to the arfcom post, just because it has the direct info on how to apply the coupons for AK & HI. See page 7 of it for details.

i tried the free-grnd and it didn't work.  Didn't let me proceed with the order.  Kept telling me to choose a shipping option.  I don't know why.  Maybe cause it was the size of my order i dunno.  They said they'll throw something in the package to make up for the charge.  Hopefully 2 more magazines lol.

You can select USPS for ~$12 instead of UPS for $40

No kidding.  I ordered 8 Wednesday night, which was as soon as I found out about it.  :wacko:

Considering they've created a work around for the free shipping for HI residents, there's no reason to group buy anymore.

Any of you guys got your mags yet?  Mine just came in last friday.  Picked them up this morning.  Haven't really had time to look them over cause i had to go to work.  Figures that they added absolutely nothing to compensate for their broken website so i couldn't get the shipping discount, despite them saying i would be compensated.  I was gonna say if you don't like these mags, you can back order from brownells, however it looks like they've stopped taking back orders lol.  I got 20 more mags on back order with them.

Placed an order for 6...Did what the link you posted said to do.Paid 106 and some change. Got the 5% off and free shipping. Also sent e-mail to them with my order # and that it needs to be shipped to Hawaii. On top of that I got in touch with Customer services on the phone and informed them that way too. Hope it goes well. :popcorn:

Place order on 02JAN and haven't heard anything yet.  I see their website now says that they're still in stock, but the backlog to get orders shipped is out to 2-3 months, and if you ordered after the 16th, don't even bother contacting them until six weeks after your order.  Anybody heard anything?

Wow, I sent Mako Group an email about this, and got a reply two minutes later.  No joke, I sent the email asking about my order at 0935, and got the reply in my inbox at 0937.  Mako Group is winning some customer service awards in my mind!  Here's the email, which may be informative for others:

Quote from: Cougar
Dear Sir or Ma'am:

I placed an order for E-Lander magazines on the second of January, at which point shipping was supposed to be happening in fairly short order.  It's been three weeks, and I haven't heard anything.  I have talked to friends who ordered magazines either on the same day, or a day or two later, and they have received shipping notices.  Please let me know know what's going on.

Very Respectfully

Cougar

Quote from: Mako Group
Hi Cougar,
 
We have now shipped orders up to order 8000 and by the end of this week we will ship up to 9000, so your order should ship before the end of the week.
People that ordered same day as you, but before, or a day before – could have order number in the late 6000. This is why they might have gotten theirs first.
We have now gotten to the point where we are able to ship about 1500 orders a day.
 
Thanks for your patience.
 
Best,
