Is it a 'bait and switch', webmaster error in posting such a discounted price on an out-of-stock item, That's my guess..... Figure there are enough of us that got [bleep] to amount to a class action lawsuit............

this website has members that are the epitome of hunters/shooters etc. One would think SWFA would watch and cater ( just a little ) to us.
SWFA has a history here at the campfire .... go check out the archives.

I have never used them for anything... and from the way they appear to be handling this situation for you guys, I won't.

I wonder what good an e-mail to Nikon would do? I wouldn't think the big shots at a reputable company would want to be linked directly or indirectly to a fiasco like this.
Anyway, I'm probably going to cancel my order, and cease doing business with SWFA. I'm a little sour at Nikon as well. It seems to me they would put a stop to this crap.

two things ...
1. I just visited SWFA's website again, and it appears they have removed the listing of the 6x42's ... However, the 4x40's are still listed proudly at $99.00 + S/H ...
2. I'm not at all afraid to start an account with Nikon in order to send them an email ... however, they do have a phone number listed that I'll call tomorrow while driving to Houston. It's the "Customer Information" number ... 1-800-645-6687 ... The "Nikon World" phone number is 1-877-446-4566 ...
Dial away fellas ... and be sure to fill them in on all the details ... I'm sure that the more calls they get with full information will help our cause, if you want to call it that ... (grin)

I bought two of the damn things and got the email notice today at the office. I didn't really get steamed until I read 12 pages of futility. Damn, I had an excuse to go buy 2 rifles. Happy Frickin Mardi Gras. They better fill the damn orders. Class action suit anyone?
If you can't find a way, make one!

I just attempted to get an e-mail through to Nikon. I was unsuccessful. I tried to open an account, and the site kept asking for more irrelevant information. It eventually kicked me off the site. Now that's some real good customer service! Steve

Steve ... did you try calling them?
on that same note, I don't make it a rule to judge a company's customer service by how easy/hard it is to navigate their website ... especially when I can easily find phone numbers to call and get a live person on the line to discuss issues ...
I only resort to email when I want to document the questions/answers ...

WGM,
No, I haven't tried calling them yet. I figured it was a little too early.
I e-mailed them for the same reason you suggest, documentation. I noticed you're going to call them. Let me know what you learn, and I'll do the same.

WGM,
I just got off the phone with Nikon Technical Service. I spoke to a gentleman named Ed. He was very polite, and listened to my concerns. In return I was very polite to him in explaining what happened. I also mentioned this website, so he could see that my case was not an isolated incident.
He told me he was glad I called, that they needed to know about this type of thing, and he would forward this to the proper people. He also took my name and number.
Anyway, based on this experience, I have a much better feeling about Nikon's customer service.
Steve
