Keep in mind that you can place orders any time. We have been doing one shipment per month but will increase that if the demand is there in terms of orders.
Thanks for your interest in Aztech Armory.
Feb 1st import is complete and all orders have been shipped.
Next import in scheduled for March 9th. Cutoff for controlled items extended to Feb 13th
I really appreciate you coming into the market, and providing this level of customer service to keep your people informed.
As you may be aware, one of your competitors is getting dinged on the boards for getting swamped to the point of not responding to their customers, so you doing this is a good sign.
If you keep this up, you will keep chipping away at their customers and eventually overtake them.
Thanks to everyone who placed an order this month. We have initiated permit process for the March import, but there is still time to order non-controlled items. Cutoff is Feb 24th.
Orders for controlled items placed now will go on the following import scheduled for April 6th. Cutoff for controlled items on that shipment is March 10th, non-controlled cutoff is March 20th.
Thanks Again... we appreciate the business and all the excellent feedback.
Just a reminder... cutoff for April import is Tomorrow, March 10th, 3:00 pm PT
And thanks to all who have orders in so far.
Permit process has been initiated for April Import. Cut off for non-controlled items is March 20.
Next Import will be May 11th, with cut off for orders of controlled items set for April 13th.
Orders for Non controlled items for that shipment will be accepted until April 24th.
Thanks again for all the orders. Permit application is in process for the May import.
We are still working on the date for the June shipment, but it will be sometime around the middle of the month.
I'll post as soon as we have it set.
Sorry for the delay in updating this thread... Thanks to you guys it's been a busy month for us.

Thank you for the update Marshall. I can hardly wait (as you are aware). With this August import I will finally have the last parts I need to complete my CC IUR/CC Lower build. Take care.Quote:

Me to! I have a few things in this shipment. Marshall is great at finding "hard to find" items. ;D
I'd like for my next purchase from aztech to be a nice AR upper, but that's going to be a while away
I know you've heard this a hundred times already, but I'm really sorry to hear about the Canadian dollar, which isn't your fault at all. Anything close to par and your sales will skyrocket, so please hang in there until that day comes back. If our dollar actually overtakes the U.S. dollar you'll be millionaires in no time.
Guess I'm a tad slow. Were the orders that ended up in AZ by Aug 12 supposed to be in Canada by late Aug or sept?
Aug 17th was cutoff for Sept 14th shipment.Quote:

No panic. IRG is still working on July's and at 1/3 more the cost than Aztech :cool1:Quote:

But they are mine, mine, all mine!;D Thank you so much for your hard work to find them and bring them here. If you or any of your crew, are ever out here in the Redmonton area, let me know, please? We will go shoot these beauties and the rest of my Cowboy Collection; with specially selected others, my treat! And a great Western BBQ to follow, at my place. Yum!Quote:

There was another toy, but just like Christmas....some assembly is required. Will post photos when it's done.
IMHO, Aztech made the entire import process, completely painless. ( other than US exchange rates) I will definitely use them again.
Modified import schedule for Christmas
With fall arriving and the holidays fast approaching we have decided modify our import schedule to be sure we have things sent out in time to arrive for Christmas. The typical schedule has been a monthly import around the middle of each month but that won't work for December. Instead, we will not be doing an import in November but will do one the first week of December. Tentative date for that shipment is Dec 7th. This will give us time to get all orders delivered before Christmas. Cutoff for that import will be November 13th.
I know this will make a long wait for some of you who are just placing orders now, but logistically it makes the most sense for us.
Further to that, we will likely not be doing the next import until the first week of February due to the chaos that typically surrounds SHOT show. Hopefully this all makes sense to everyone, but if you have any questions feel free to PM or email me... or post up on this thread.
Thanks again to all who have made this upcoming shipment our largest to date!
Hi Marshall
I placed an order on September 7th
When is it scheduled to arrive it in Canada?
Thanks
I'm not Marshall, but Marshall's post earlier in this thread (post #32):
I hope that helps.Quote:

Do you have the full Beretta CX4 upgrade kits in Canada already, or would you need to order one?
Thanks again for making it so easy to tack extra on to my order :)
Much better communication and service than IRG.
...no $50usd shipping either... :/
Looking forward to that box in the mail in December. ;)
Do you facilitate any auction purchase like gunbroker?
Not to speak for Aztech, but I do believe there is some info on their site related to that.Quote:

We are now taking orders for our next import which will be February 8th 2016...
...after shot show!!!
The cutoff for the February import will be January 8th, 2016.
We do have some inventory of certain items in BC. Please contact us for questions. Thank you.

Sven from Manticore was tracking it as well, and so he re-sent the order via UPS next day air this morning. Assuming it doesn't get lost as well, it is supposed to arrive tomorrow. However, with that said, we just tracked it now and it's in Chicago of all places... :mad1:
UPS is always very good though, so we're not worried... yet. If it does arrive tomorrow the truck will leave early Wednesday morning and arrive in BC sometime Thursday afternoon. Once it's here we will be diligent in sorting and packaging in order to get everything sent out as quickly as possible... or goal is still to have all deliveries arrive in time for Christmas.
If it doesn't show up there tomorrow then we'll reassess the situation and provide a further update here.
Tracked package again and it will be available for pick up at the UPS depot in the morning, so everything is good to go. We will be sorting and packaging Thursday evening and will send tracking numbers as soon as we have them. We will process the orders starting with farthest East and working our way to the West.
Apologies for the delay, but sometimes things are out of our control.
Mmmm.... I was hoping for a Colt Government for my birthday. If it takes another week...eh...
Do you have the restricted transfers complete in advance, or is that another step?
Truck is Oscar Mike!!
What is Oscar Mike? Not Indian Bravo?
Both :)Quote:

It came! Great wrapping job! The wife didn't even know what it was when the postman dropped it off....close one....:p
The gunsmithing/reloading/ammo storage cabinet has a shiny new Aztech sticker on the pistol drawer....
Just a reminder... Cutoff for Feb import is tomorrow, Jan 8th. 6PM PT.
Thanks to all who have placed orders so far.
All permit applications for the February import have been submitted. We will let you know the next cutoff and March import date shortly. Getting ready for SHOT next week, remember to send any product queries to us and we'll add them to our list of booths to visit. Thank you all!!
We have determined our next import date to Canada will be March 28th. The cutoff for that date will be February 28th.
Thank you all for your orders!!
I can't wait for my new toy to come in!!!!!!!
I'm starting to get wound up myself.
Any word on the February import? Can't come soon enough!!!
Schedule Update
I know you are all expecting the shipment to arrive in BC on Monday, but we're experiencing some delays which are beyond our control.
For starters, for unknown reasons, our export permit from the DDTC (US State Department) has yet to be issued. We expected to have it in hand last Monday at the latest but as of Friday it is still shows as "under review". I called them on Wednesday and the agent responsible for the final approval said he is still waiting to see it on his desk and that he would push it through as soon as he sees it. This is highly unusual as it is normally the BIS licenses for the optics and shotguns that cause us the most stress. The DDTC permits are usually pretty quick. So, at this point I plan to call again on Monday to what's up and will update here again with the result of that call.
Further to that, and to add to our frustrations, due to the current political climate in the US some of our suppliers are having trouble meeting the demand for products. We received only partial shipments from a couple of vendors with the promise that the rest of the order was forthcoming. We have been waiting for them to arrive, but as as Friday, (the planned departure date), there was still quite a bit of stuff missing. We are tracking a few packages that are scheduled to arrive in AZ Monday or Tuesday so we would need to wait until then to ship anyway.
With all that said, we do have the BIS license in hand and if the DDTC is not approved by the end of the day Tuesday we will bring in all the shotguns and optics along with the non-controlled soft goods by the end of this week. If the DDTC permit is still not approved by then, the plan is to leave the ITAR controlled items in our warehouse just south of the border and do a run down to pick them up as soon as we have the permit.
I'm really sorry to have to be the bearer of this news, but I thought it best to keep everyone informed.
Please PM or email me at [email protected] if you have any questions... or feel free to call if you're concerned about the specifics of your order. 844-357-3030 ex 1
DSP5 Approved!! :Beer time:
Now we just have to wait for one more package to arrive tomorrow and shipment will be North Bound. Truck should arrive in Penticton Thursday afternoon.
Still looks like me may be short a couple of products, but we will get emails out to anyone who is affected.
Not mine right? Hehe
Hey everyone, just a reminder our next import date to Canada is March 28th. The cutoff for that date is February 28th.
We are taking orders up until Sunday night and will start permit process on Monday.
Thanks to all who have already ordered but there is still time to get more stuff!!
Permit application has been submitted for the March shipment.
We are still working on the next date and will post here as soon as we have it nailed down.
Thanks again for all the support and patience!!
Next import will be April 19th. Order cutoff for that shipment is Mar 20th.
Due to the gun show schedule the next one after that will be May 30th with the cutoff being May 1st
Our April 19th import is now closed and we have begun our permit process. Thank you all for your orders.
A reminder our next scheduled import is May 30th with the cutoff being May 1st. This is extended due to our attendance at Penticton and Kamloops Gun Shows in April.
If you are at either of those shows, please come visit us!!
Long shot, but I'm wondering if you have any Sig P220 stainless 10mm auto 5" target pistols in the pipeline?
I can't get a part number from Sig - all they list is a goofy kryptik camo one
Got a friend who is looking for one, and so far only has found one at irg, who I am not a fan of
It is the 220R5-10-SSE-SAO you're looking for I believe. Our supplier in the US is out of stock on them at the moment. I've added it to our wish list so we will be notified when they come back in stock. Our price would be $1229 US if we can get our hands on one. Otherwise there are a couple for sale on GB right now going for $1299 "buy it now" price. Shoot me an email or PM if you're interested in one at that price.Quote:

We've had a slight delay due to logistics, but the shipment is due to arrive on Friday.
Next import is April 19th... permit process is underway.
Orders placed now until may 1st will be on the May 30th import.
Haven't had a response in weeks either via messages or phone calls - you guys still around? Looking for an update on my scope, please.
We're around... no worries.Quote:

April shipment arrived yesterday, so you should be getting tracking numbers this afternoon/tomorrow morning...
Scope arrived and already mounted - thanks again, Marshall.

Thank you Marshall for making this process of importing all my parts that I bought on in The US so easy. You both have been fantastic
With our May 30th import closed and in permitting, we are looking ahead to our next scheduled import which is June 27th. The cutoff for that shipment is May 29th. Thank you all for your orders on the May shipment. Please get your June orders in before the cutoff.
Permits are in hand and all is on track for Monday May 30th import.
There's still time to get your orders in on or before this Sunday for the June 27th shipment.
Thanks again to everyone... we sincerely appreciate your patience the support.
June export permit applications submitted.
Next import date will be July 25th. Cutoff for orders is June 26th.
Let us know if there is anything special you're looking for.
July import is now closed. Next scheduled import date is Sept 5th.Order cut off is Aug 2nd.
http://www.mossberg.com/product/590a...cabbard-50676/
Any joy on finding one of those down south? Not a store in Canada has either 50676 or the similar 51660 that I've been able to find.

You should be able to purchase this one directly from Classic and have them send it to us. We will then handle the export for you. If they won't sell to you directly let us know and we will look after you.Quote:

I've already ordered one 51660 from the other guy (yesterday). It's a bit less there, but if I can I'm going to cancel it since I'd rather go through you guys.
I'd rather have the 50676 besides.
I'll get back to you on the mosin :)
Yes the 50676 was just added... you're not losing it..:)Quote:

Site down?
No dice on the M39 - they won't let me pay for it. Plus I did some rough math and with the exchange and import I'm probably looking at North of $800, which they aren't worth.
But I was going to look on the site for the SP CX4 trigger pack, but it seems to have pooped the bed.. :(

Answered via phone. Yes.
Thanks.
September Permit Delay
Normally, by now we would have our export permits in hand for the September shipment and be getting packed up for the shipment this weekend.
However... at this point we are still waiting for Foreign Affairs to issue our IIC so that we can then apply to the DDTC and BIS for the export permits. Typically an IIC take 3-5 days... we are now on day 19! Our calls to them are answered with "there is no problem, we're working on it"
Maybe it's not a problem for them, but for us, it is definitely a problem.
So, at this point the Sept 5th import date is not going to be possible. Without the IIC in hand we cannot start the export permit application, so we are not able to predict the date... we can say that it will not be any earlier than the 19th because even if we get the IIC today, the US guys typically take 2-3 weeks to approve the permit applications... we can only hope that the DDTC and BIS are expedient this time and we are not pushed back too far.
I will update here as soon as we get the IIC.
Thank you all for you patience.
pesky borders
...I forgot that I ordered....stuff? Lol
September Permit Delay Update
We have received Foreign Affairs approval and are now waiting for the State Dept to permit the export. We have spoken with the agent and he does not anticipate any delays so the normal time and process will prevail.
Again, the shipment will not be any earlier than September 19th, considering the export permit timelines.
October Shipment
Our October 10th import is currently on time.
November Import Date
The November import is planned for the 28th. We have stretched it out a bit this time to allow everyone a little more time to get their Christmas wish lists filled.
The cutoff for orders on the Nov 28th import will be Oct 21st.
Thanks again to everyone for your support... and especially your patience with us during the Sept permit delay.
January Import Date
Please note that we will not be doing an import for December. Make sure you get your Christmas orders in before the Oct 21st cutoff.
The next shipment after the Nov 28th date will be Jan 30th. This is also a longer than normal stretch between shipments, but we need this time for the holidays and more importantly, SHOT Show... :cool1:
Order cutoff for the Jan 30th import will be Dec 28th.
... nvm
New one - are any of your Advantage Arms 1911-22 conversion kits in Canada and ready to ship?
Hey all... sorry for the delay in getting this updated.
Our next import is planned for the Mar 27th. The cutoff date is Feb 24th.
Let us know if there is there's anything in particular you need.
March permit application process underway... Thanks again to everyone for getting your orders in.
Next planned import will be May 20th. Order cutoff date for that shipment is April 17th
NOTICE: To all our customers who have orders on the March shipment. As of April 6th, we still have not received our export permit from the State Dept. We have spoken with our Analyst and he says there are no issues and they are just short-staffed. They are working to get the permit finalized as soon as they can.
Thank you all for your patience.
Any updates?
I hope May is on schedule, or at least in country before June 1..
We are still waiting on the State Dept approval but hope to have it in hand this week. We will send notice as soon as we know more.
Our May import is cutoff today and we are working to do everything we can on our end to ensure the import is prior to June 1st.

nvm....
(never got a response to a text to marshall, had to dig this thread up to see what was going on)
Hi Sorry about that. We did get caught up on the texts yesterday. We are fielding a lot of update inquiries as to the delay of this shipment, understandably. We are most upset over this delay, All we want to do is get people what they want without issue and the State Dept's problems inhibit that. Most frustrating....
We did talk again to the approving agent again yesterday and he says it is still with their admin team awaiting release.
What's gonna happen with the May 29th import if it gets delayed? This is the last non-UN marking import from what I understand.
What's the deal if the import takes place after that? Are you setup to un-mark? Will it be mandatory or will they honor retroactive imports?
To all our customers who have orders on the March shipment. We finally received our export permit from the State Dept. (YEAH!!) Our shipment will arrive in BC on Monday and we will work diligently to get your tracking numbers sent to you as quickly as possible.
Thank you all for your amazing patience.
We are setup to do the UN markings if/when required. We already have the IIC in hand for all firearms coming in on our May import which was the main cause for delay on the March import. We will be submitting the export permit application on Monday so that should leave us plenty of time even if there is a delay with the State Dept.Quote:

Any update on the importation?
Foreign Affairs delayed us again but all is good now. The shipment will come in this Friday and we will be getting the orders out over the weekend. Thanks.Quote:

Thanks. Now I have to go and impulse shop..
So any strike industries pdw stocks coming back in stock? I see it's sold out.
Sent you a PM. thanks.
I see the polymer 80 glock compact frames are available for import to Canada again. How exactly does that work for Canadian customers with the unfinished lowers? Is it the same process as all other restricted firearms? I thought these 80 % lowers were now prohibited?
The 80% AR pattern rifle lowers are prohibited but the 80% pistol frames never were prohibited. The new classification is "restricted" and you now must provide us with a valid RPAL before purchasing. Its treated much like ammo, where we validate your license before we can process your order.
Because the frames are 80% finished, they do not have a serial number so they do not need to be registered and transferred to you at the time of the sale.
As the owner and builder of the firearm, you would need to contact your local CFO once you are ready to apply the serial number and they will provide you with the protocol for serializing and registration. This is the reason you need the RPAL to purchase the 80% frame. It is expected you will build the firearm and will then be in possession of a restricted firearm which will need to be registered with the RCMP.
Hope this helps.
Great, thanks for the info!

Can't wait for my purple Crickett to show up in a few weeks....
We are just happy that the RCMP trusts us 'Glock-builders' to allow us to build a restricted firearm and register it on our own recognizance.
Hi, when is the next scheduled import take place and what is the cut off for orders? Your site mentions the August cutoff/ October import currently. Thanks!
The current shipment will arrive August 28th. The next shipment is October 2nd, cutoff for that shipment was yesterday. We will not submit our permit application for a few days so you still have time to sneak something in.Quote:

We do have some stock on popular items in BC so send us a note if there is something you are looking for.
We have lots of Glock complete build kits coming in next week... 80% frames, parts kits, complete slides, everything you need. Thanks.
Wish emails were answered...........
nevermind. decided not to deal with you guys
I would love to use my winnings from the draw last October but have no idea what you can actually import that I cannot buy up here in the first place. My interests are in single shot rifles and such but have no idea what is out there anymore as all the guns I did want are not made anymore. Looking for a single shot 22 mag or something in a pistol cartridge.
That's too bad, because Marshall and Carol Ann are great to deal with, very customer service oriented people. That being said, their communication hasn't been up to their usual standard lately. Maybe they're just very busy with the current/next import. Perhaps you'll want to give them another chance though, they do provide a great service to Canadian firearms enthusiasts, plus, they are genuinely nice folks.Quote:

Thanks so much for all your feedback. It is my task to respond to emails daily and some days they stack up on me. We are a small company and we all wear multiple hats.
Its true our email response time lags a bit during import time as we believe its priority to get everyone's order out as quickly as possible.
It is not our intention to displease any customer so if we haven't responded in a timely manner to your request, please do not hesitate to email a second request.
My apologies for not responding to your email in a timely manner. I did some catchup over the weekend so if I didn't get to yours, please resend. Thanks.Quote:

The November import is now closed and we are starting the permit application. Shipment is scheduled to arrive Nov 27th.
Thanks again to everyone for all your orders.
Happy New Year from all of us at Aztech Armory! Thank you all for your business and we look forward to serving you again in the new year!
We have extended our order cutoff to December 31st for the Feb 5th import.
For early 2018, we are planning a website upgrade that will more clearly show the stock levels for products in Canada. We are also adding a 'Wish List' function!!
Still have time to win the lottery and go nuts.
Next Scheduled Import is April 2nd.
Order cutoff date is Feb 26th.
Let us know if there's anything you need that you don't find on the site.
First question, are you guys able to import either the mossberg shockwave or the mossberg 590m? Second question, is your guys site down? I keep getting a blank page come up on multiple browsers. Thanks!
Cant wait to get my parts from Fulton for my 102 build :- )
Also just ordered a M1 Garand from Fulton that will need importing :-)
When is your next import
June.Quote:

The next scheduled import is June 4th, order cutoff for permitting is April 30th.
Thank you!
Hi, I am looking for a Primary Arms Platinum Series 6-30X56 FFP Scope with ACSS HUD DMR Reticle. I don’t see this listed on your site. Is this an item you can import to Canada? If so, how can I go about placing an order for one.Quote:

Thank you!
Hello Everyone!
The next scheduled import is September 17th, and is closed for permitting on August 3rd.
Thank you for all your support!
The September import is closed for permitting and the next import is scheduled for November 19th. Order cutoff for permitting is October 5th. Note: this is the last import before Christmas.
Thank you!
Hey Guys!
The next import is scheduled for January 2nd, and is closed for permitting on November 5th. Don't forget to add the things to your list you wish you had gotten for the holidays!
Heya Folks!
The new import date is scheduled for February 15th, and the cut off is January 7th!
Cheers!
I'm in it! Woot. It's been so long I can't remember what I ordered but I'm damn sure I'll be happy when it gets here :)Quote:

I don't get it. The cut off for Jan 2 import was November 5, 2018. The shut down happened on the 22nd of december. How could AA not receive approved licences for export by then? IRG received theirs on the 21st with cut off November 15th. :confused1::confused1::confused1:Quote:

We have been in contact with him and expect the permit to be released as soon as they are operational.
Trust me when I say we feel your pain… and know that we will do everything logistically possible to complete the shipment as quickly as we can once we have the permit in hand.

As you are all probably aware by now, the US Govt shutdown was lifted on Friday January 25th. We have all our permits in process and we hope to have them approved quickly. I imagine there may be a backlog after 5 weeks of no one able to submit an application.
Since we have permits pending from our November, January and February exports, we are hoping they will all be released soon we can get your products to you, and continue business as usual!
Again, your patience is appreciated and does not go unnoticed!

Nope... you can't get rid of me that easy! I'm still around, but focusing on setting up new suppliers and staying on top of the compliance issues among other things. And yes, hopefully permits are released soon. I talked to the agent at State who is handling three of our applications and he indicated that the backlog is immense, but they are doing their best to get them all approved.
Nothing yet from Buffalo Bore. Sorry.Quote:

This is a great and exciting time, and we look forward to getting all the orders out as soon as we possibly can. We just ask for a little patience in this final stretch!

Just for future reference, if someone wants to order it with the "Wilson Combat Deluxe Hammer" do NOT order it from LTT WITHOUT that hammer and substitute your own one that you have in stock (as there is extensive work done to the hammer to match the rest of the trigger components).
Thanks again.

PLEASE JUST SHIP IM SO TIRED OF WAITING!! :argh
I love what you guys are doing and helping us get stuff across the border but the three month wait for my toys is just torture...
Howdy Gun Lovers!
We at Aztech have quite the few weeks ahead of us!
The import is arriving today, and it will take us a few days to break it down and package everything up to be sent off. Tracking information will be sent to you as soon as it is available.
We ask that you keep your status checks to a minimum during this time as it takes us away from packaging up your order to inform you that it is being packaged up!
We then have a gun show in Penticton this weekend April 13th-14th, please if you are in the area come out and see us at the Penticton Curling Club! We will have a lot of stuff on our tables, some exclusive gun show items and best of all you can come see us in person!
We will then be at the Kamloops gun show on April 27th-28th. So come see us there too!
During this time, you may find that the response time on emails and voicemails might be a little longer than our usual. We do apologize for this delay, but we will get to them as soon as possible!
Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing some of you at the gun shows!

Hello Canadian Gun Lovers!
April 23rd is approaching! It happens to be John Cena's birthday, St George Day and most importantly...
It is the cut off date to get your orders in to make the June 3rd import! Any orders placed after the April 23rd cut off will not be able to make it on the next scheduled import!
Any questions please send them to [email protected]
Cheers!
-AA Team
It's got to be some weird coincidence that I always think about a special order a day before the cutoff...
But I have a sudden urge for a shorter barrel for my Ithaca 37

Got my order in for my favorite/dream gun since I first saw it when I was 8 years old playing Goldeneye in 1997. Can't wait for June for my FN PS90 to come in. I don't care how impractical it is, it's finally being added to my collection.
If anyone gives you any grief about owning a RCP90, just tell them it wouldn't be as bad as owning a Klobb. Also no playing as Odd Job!Quote:

Emailed the other day. Got a prompt but not detailed response. Boils down to they are waiting on their permits as they said, hoping to have them in another week, but it's out of their hands. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say look at the current amount of changes to importing/exporting coming out of the US State Department(allegedly control of the permits and such changed hands recently?). Fake suppressors are now supposedly on the chopping block, heard from Irunguns that IR lasers are facing possible restrictions, and the ban on anything over 30(32?) round mags are banned from export. I would assume the F*ckery has to do with them.Quote:

Canadian Customers
It has been a very difficult few weeks for us.
As some of you know, we had a family emergency that has postponed the September import.
We also experienced a 2-week delay from the State Dept for the export approval of the July import. We now have the majority of our shipment in Canada and will be shipping to customers August 7 & 8.
To top it off, we were recently informed by the RCMP that someone did something very bad with something they purchased from us.
We are told, as a matter of procedure, our CBFL has been suspended pending the investigation of the crime which was committed. We are told that this is standard protocol and they are not intent on disrupting our business and longer than necessary.
We are also told that they cannot give us a definite timeline as to when their investigation will be completed.
Due to this circumstance, we are unable to complete the import of the firearms and ammunition that were scheduled for July.
At this time, we cannot commit to completing the import of firearms and ammunition for the September/October shipment.
However, we are committed to getting your firearms to you and we will be working with another Importer to make this happen.
Those of you who have firearms pending on the July and/or September/October shipments, will receive direct contact from us by email with options to move forward.
IMPORTANT: All parts and accessories will be imported as usual. This situation only affects firearms and ammunition.
As always, we appreciate our amazing customers and we thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time
Wow... one thing after the another. I can't blame the vendor, but its just frustrating.
Joys of Importing. Now I'm just like I'll get it, when I get it.Quote:

I have a non restricted Mossberg shotgun on order in the June 10 / July 22 import. Got my confirmation of order and payment back in June. I asked Darius when he wants my PAL number at the time of order and he said he’d get it at time of shipping. I’ve heard zilch. I’ve messaged him (26th of July) and heard nothing. I obviously realize there are some difficult circumstances for them these days, but to have over $1000 of a customers money and give ZERO info to them is unacceptable. A two minute phone call or email would clear things up pretty easily, and I doubt they have so many things on this import that they can’t get back to me in a two week timeframe.
I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback on Darius and Aztech, and would like to be able to add my own, but the lack of communication is not confidence inspiring. I emailed again last night, and will call if I don’t hear back soon.
For sure call, that's the quickest way to clear up issues.Quote:

Thanks for the quick reply Jamie! I don’t think I have an online account with them, unless you can get there with your order number? I’ll take a look though.
Nothing coming up there for me. I’ll pick up the phone...
Well I emailed and phoned and have got no response. It’s just a small part fir a shotgun. I checked my account and it says pending
Looks like they are going thru some heavy stuff.
. I doubt you'll hear from them right away.
Looks like some people already got there shipping notice. I live in the same town as there outlet and just want to pick it upQuote:

Did you actually READ my post? I clearly stated that I realize I’m not their only customer. I also stated that I contacted Darius on the 26th of July. That’s 13 days ago. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect a reply in that time. I’m just asking the guys who received shipping notices what the process was.Quote:

I’m sure there will be a happy outcome, but my purchase is for hunting, and the season is closing in rapidly and I need to find another option if they cannot provide what I paid for in the very near future.

How about calling? Or quickly emailing them again? Only they are going to give you the answer you are looking for. I had to do that with another business. It appeared that some emails, got lost in a junk folder. I purchased something in June, they took my money. But dealing with them before, there situations out of their control. And things take time, so normally if you need something quick, Importing might not be the best option. Due to too many factors.Quote:

I did get an automated reply to creating an account though.
Uhhh ohhh
Must be in DEEP ____
I highly doubt they took your money and ran away. I wouldn't worry yet. Maybe they just want to be alone at this time. They did have a family emergency recently. Many people just drop everything for family. Maybe the emergency resulted in a loss of a loved one. So probably why they removed the phone number, or not answering the phone.Who knows. Be patient. I'm sure they make it right. But like I said, this is the gamble of importing. Doesn't always go 100%.Quote:

I do however run my own business, and if I were the dark room type, I would get one of my staff to handle emails, or set aside an hours day to deal with them. Your business will be around longer than the emergency hopefully.
As I’ve said before, I’m sure they are not out to get me, but my hunting season hinges greatly on receiving what I ordered from them (or something similar) in the next two weeks. IF my order is one of the ones that was held up by State Dept, and is now held up by their suspension, I NEED to know. All I’m looking for is an “it’s here and shipping tomorrow”, or an “it’s not here and won’t be for the foreseeable future” type of email so I can make other arrangements.
I realize I’m new here, but all I was asking for is info on how they processed the other members orders, and it would be also nice to know if the three guys who posted that theirs had shipped were complete firearms or just parts. I don’t like how you (Rob M) seem to think I’m vilifying Aztech and unsympathetic to their current situation. For the THIRD TIME, that’s not my intention. I’m just looking for some answers...
Likewise, i'm curious on what is happening with my order as their website said they'll be using a different importer. I haven't received any replies from them for the past few weeks.
Anyone else get a shipping notice? They said on their website that the July import would be shipped on the 7th and 8th.
I finally got an email reply today from Carol Ann. It took me disputing the charge with Visa to get there, but I thanked them for trying to get me what I wanted, and wished them a speedy return to normal.
I’ll definitely do another try with Aztech when things are back on track...
Strange that you had so much trouble. I emailed them this morning to find out when my parts are scheduled to arrive, Carol Ann responded about 2 hours later. I sent a reply to her response and Darius got back to me about 2 hours later as well.Quote:

I have a couple big ordess supposed to be coming in. They said someone did something very bad with something that was imported by them. I came to see if there was any info on what was done... They may take a while but you'll get your stuff, stuff you prob can't get elsewhere in Canada.
Received my shipment yesterday for the July 22 import
nvm they did send me an email on options. It was in my Junk Inbox.
Received my July 22nd import great as always.
Sorry didn't work out. But sounds like things are getting back on track. I got a couple emails from them today.Quote:

This is according to a French article. Wonder whats gonna happen now.
Not Aztecs fault that the RCMP and SQ are incompetent and renewed a convicted drug traffickers RPAL. ( not the first time either ) And for those who don't read french, they let the idiot walk until his next hearing in late September. Our criminal justice system hard at work keeping us safe.
Yes but the RCMP have decided to make their own laws about 80 receivers. The ones being sold were not registered.
Do I care? No but I am interested to see what happens next.
nothing
there is not requirement for a polymer 80 pistol part to be registered as it is only a plastic shellQuote:

It’s all good. I ended up getting a better variant of what I originally ordered locally, which will get me through my planned hunts, and just made another order from Aztech tonight for a different barrel for it. In the end, it’s costing me a couple of hundred more, but I’m ending up with a better firearm with multiple barrels.Quote:

According to the firearms act you are right. . The RCMP's website, no.Quote:

I'm aware of what the firearms act says. Like I said I am interested to see what they do with the situation because they have their own interpretation that is on their website for everyone to read.
I think we clouded this thread enough. Lets start a new one, for these questions. I'm sure Aztech would appreciate it.Quote:

There was 2 threads, the clueless owner of that site posted here. Then he ended up asking to be banned.Quote:

There is something strange going on with this business. They have removed all their contact information except email from the website.
Has anyone been able to reach them recently?
Darius, if you are reading this please provide an update as to the status of your business. Thank you!
I had an issue with contact when all the crap fell on their heads, but Darius and Carol Ann were both in touch with me in the later part of August. I have made another order with them (parts only) and am hoping they come through. I emailed them this morning looking for an import date for the parts, and mentioned people were looking for them here. Hopefully they respond for you...
Hello Gunnie,
We are still open for business, simply sending us an email with what you are looking for would be the best step. As we do all our pricing quotes and contacting of our customers via email we removed the phone number as to cut down on calls that I then have to direct to send me an email.
You can find the most up to date information on the status of what is happen on our Canadian Customers page, it will always be found there and we will always be open and honest with our customers.
Hello Amazing Customers!
We have made some temporary adjustments to our business model.
First, we have suspended servicing third party sales. We understand the need for this service and we have had a lot of success in bringing in your family heirlooms and sought-after purchases. This was a hard decision for us but we just can’t commit to this service at this time.
Second, we have suspended the sale of firearms and ammunition until further notice. This was also a hard decision and we look forward to being able to serve your needs again in the future.
_____________________
For those of you who have firearms coming from the US, we have permits in progress with an alternate Importer and at this time we are waiting for government approvals. Once permits are approved and the import is complete, your firearm will be shipped to you via Canada Post.
_____________________
For those of you who have placed non-firearm orders with us over the past two months, we appreciate your patience during this extended timeline.
Certain items qualify to be shipped directly from the US under the ITAR exemption. Where practical, we will be exercising this exemption to get your items to you.
If your order contains items that do not fall under the exemption, they require permitting and the permit application is currently in progress and we will be completing the import once we receive approvals.
_____________________
At this time, we are taking orders for items which do fall under the exemption. However, we are not taking orders for non-exempt items until further notice. Please check our ‘In Canada Now’ section for items that we currently have in Canada ready to ship.
_____________________
If you require further information on your specific order, please email [email protected] and we will let you know which process pertains to your order.
As always, we appreciate our amazing customers and we thank you for your patience and understanding during this time!
Thanks for the refund DariusE. I know how much of a hassle it is dealing with tons of "freaky" companies trying to get the parts we ordered and not hearing back from them, them shipping you the wrong stuff, etc.
I wish you much success with your new business model.
-Jamie M.
Can you share an ETA with all of us on the import finally coming into Canada?Quote:

This is where we post the most up to date information, and if it has not changed since you last checked it we do not have any more information to post. The unfortunate side of dealing with the government is that they are rather slow at getting things done. We appreciate your patience.
I will always do my best to keep our customers informed and updated as the cogs move forward!
Cheers!
Darius, on your Canadian page, why don't you put a date on when these announcement have been posted, that why we can see right from the start if it is an old announcement or something that has been updateQuote:

Hello Robert,
The import will likely be mid to late October, we are awaiting our permits being released.
Hello,
The Canadian Customers page is where we post the most up to date information about the status of imports. If we have no new information we do not post anything new. Any customer is more than welcome to email us at anytime and I will gladly get you the most up to date information about your order.
We do not have a set date on when the import will land to post, so we do not post a date. Until we can confirm with certainty the information we do not post it on our Canadian Customers page.
Cheers
For those of you who have been waiting patiently for your products, the import date is now set for October 29th. If you have items on permit, we will have your orders shipping that week.
_____________________
Orders placed as of October 10th will not be shipped directly from the US. The next scheduled import date will be December 30, 2019. The order cutoff for this shipment is November 15th.

For those of you who have items shipping directly from the US under the ITAR exemption. We are sending those out as they are ready. Many of you have already received tracking details.

....we have suspended the sale of firearms and ammunition until further notice....
So you are out of business?
They're not out of business or hope not. Just the whole investigation on the 80% Poly Glocks, The RCMP suspended their license, and probably having a heck of a time securing another importer/exporter.Quote:

They only send me an “it’s on backorder” excuse on the day it’s supposed to import? That’s frustrating. Other options could have been explored.
Darius, I’d be happy to hear your side of this, and if you are still planning to try and stay in business, it might be worth while for you to respond to this issue openly!
Darius did the 29th Import come in?
So I got a call from Marshall, who like everyone else at Aztech was great to talk to once you get to that point. We are trying to work out a way to get this piece to me in a reasonable timeframe. I hate being the squeaky wheel, but after the lack of response on the first go round, I wasn’t taking any chances.
Stay tuned for updates...
Per Marshal today: “Darius is on holidays”. He said they crossed into Canada today and would spend the next few days packing up and shipping out.Quote:

I just logged on and my status shows shipped. They were also nice enough to have me ship it to another location. Which wasn't a problem. Some places will be like NO we only ship to the address on the CC. I figure since paid for shipping, that Id have it shipped to the person that gonna refinish my barrel. Saves me a few dollars.Quote:

>For those of you who are still waiting for firearms coming from the US, the permit has been approved and we are in the process of importing the firearms! Once the import lands, the NR firearms will be sent off right away, and the transfers started for the restricted firearms. We cannot start the transfer until the firearms arrive in Canada. Once the transfer is approved your firearm will be sent off to you with tracking information sent via email!
Nice the 5 month wait is finally over
Glad to see ill finally get my gun and I hope everything returns to normal for you guys, i don't think anyone will ever beat your pricing and service for imports and even with the wait im still a happy customer
Howdy folks!
The following import is scheduled for February 24th. The cutoff date for that shipment is January 13th. So get those late Christmas stocking stuffers, valentines day gifts, and most importantly something for yourself! You deserve it after the holidays!
Cheers!
Were all the fake suppressors removed from the website? https://www.aztecharmory.com/advance...splay+SilencerQuote:

Wild guess, but the RCMP have been poking at everything with the appropriate thread size using a very big stick for several weeks.Quote:

The most up to date information can always be found on our Canadian Customers page.
The February import is now closed, thank you to all who have placed an order!
The next import will likely fall sometime in April, but as always check out our Canadian Customers page for the most up to date information!
Nice to see display suppressors back up on the website, thanks! I'll be picking up a Gmt-300blk shortly (for my upcoming AR15 build). I'll only be shooting subsonic through it, like I do with 9mm and my GM-9 I got from you which has been holding up flawlessly even though gemtech says not to shoot through it, lol.Quote:

We’re a week overdue for the April import...do you have ANY idea when we will see our goods? When do we start talking refunds...?
The most up to date information is always posted on our Canadian Customers page. That is the most up to date info we can provide you with.Quote:

I've got an order on that truck, and I know that you guys are doing the best you can.
Thank you Aztec! :)
The import scheduled for April 27th is FINALLY on its way!! We have License to Export and Import so the shipment is now moving North Please bear with us while we break down the shipment into your packages and get them to the Post Office. If you could avoid emailing us for updates, that will keep us off the computer and on the task of fulfilling your orders. You will get an email with your tracking number as soon as the Post Office has your package. Thank you!
Heya!
We have updates our Canadian Customers page, give it a quick read:

Cheers!
Boo, after the last update I figured the truck had arrived and I'd have my stuff for the next range trip. :(
Oh well. Thanks for the update!
it is unfortunate, however with all the changes being made to our laws the folks at the CBSA just want to make sure they are doing their jobs correctly! Our Canadian Customers page will always have the most up to date information regarding the import and the second we have any news it will be updated!Quote:
