tunaman Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'm (im)patiently awaiting the arrival of my shiney new 1050B, ordered on 1/8, and have yet to receive any shipping notification or further status. I understand that everyone is mostly in the same situation, and that Dillon is just overrun with orders over the last many weeks and now have posted expected lead times of 6 to 8 weeks at this point. I also understand that some have had presses just show up, so it appears that in some cases they are not receiving any status updates or advance warning. If you've placed a press order in the last month or so, post up the date your order was submitted and the date you've received it, along with what you ordered (550/650/1050, etc.)? I'd like to get a handle on where they are currently at in their backlog, and I'm sure there are many other anxious buyers here in the same position?

polizei1 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I ordered a 650 late December, took about 3 weeks. Last I heard, 3-5 weeks, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's 4-6 weeks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwskinner Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 12/31/2012 Dillon 650 as it should be with case feeder and set up for 223, carbide dies and the rest of the stuff. It shouldn't be too much longer. My brass is clean and ready, bullets are in but still waiting on the powder valley order for primers and powder I ordered about the same time as the 650.

Pat Miles Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Dillon, like every company in a shooting related business, is buried with orders and probably in a backorder situation. Be patient, you're going to eventually receive the best reloading machines available. Hope you got componants! Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwskinner Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I think we all understand that portion of it and everyone is staying fairly calm and understanding from what I see, however since Dillon doesn't have much for progress or tracking orders, there is no way to know how long the wait is. At least by people posting their order dates and when the get the product will provide a good indicator to others. Your right about the components. I had it all ordered from Brownells and it said it was in stock but it never came. Now there is no ETA. They had a computer glitch which put newer orders in front of the older orders which kind of jacked with people in line. Stuff happens.

anthem Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I also ordered the .40SW conversion kit and that came within two days of the rest of the order. So it does look like they are about 3 1/2 weeks from order to delivery from January. Don't know about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBBB Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 on 1/29 I ordered a 650 in 9mm (as it should be pakcage) and a conversion kit for 45 ACP, toolhead, powder die and large pistol casefeed plate from Brian (I did not order any dies). I had a Dillon gift certificate that Brian could not redeem so I ordered a case feeder and spare parts kit directly from Dillon. I receied the press, toolhead, and powder die on 2/5. I reveived the case feeder and spare parts kit today. I am still waiting on the strong mount, roller handle, bullet tray, caliber conversion and casefeed plate. Once I get the strong mount I will go ahead and start setting things up. In the meantime, fortunately I have a 550B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltdmstr Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Well I finally got the casefeeder I ordered approx. 6 weeks ago, and of course they sent the wrong shell plate. Kept trying to call and got the busy signal then when I finally got through, was on hold for 40+ and gave up without speaking with anyone. Sent them an e-mail for and got a message that response times are 2+ weeks. Pretty crappy way to run a business. No eta for my feed tube or super swage.
