Order Ammo Online?
« on: September 22, 2016, 05:31:53 PM »
Anyone else ever order ammo online?  If so, who from and how did it go?

I've only just started doing it but so far it seems to definitely be the best way for me to buy because my choices now seem nearly infinite instead of just whatever Wal-Mart has on the shelf.

I'm not sure if I should be concerned that my FedEx person always just leaves it on my porch instead of getting a signature.  I would expect them to require someone to sign but maybe this isn't legally necessary.

 :cheers:

Dozens of times.  It's almost always been left at my front door.  I've ordered from Doubletap, The CMP Store, Cabelas, Georgia Arms, and others.

My Garand was even left at my front door -- that was a bit shocking.  I figured THAT would require a signature.  (Sender determines it).

If you order ammo, once you get the tracking info, say FedEx or UPS, you can go online and have them hold it for you to pick it up.

     Wonder if they'd leave a Ma Deuce at the front door :)
Of course that may be as far as they'd make if after the

It wouldnt get to the door, they would just shove it out of the back of the truck and leave it in the road

Well, since it has to be handled by professionals you would be going to pick it up yourself.

I have ordered ammo through Brownell's even when ammo was impossible to find. Have plenty now.

I have used Freedom Arms and LAX. Both have been very easy to deal with and prompt. First time I did this was when I saw the handwriting on the wall a few years back regarding 22lr. I ordered a case ( 5000+) and paid only $185. I think those days are no more  :cry

I have used reman and factory fresh, never had a single issue or bad round.

Nobody should ever buy ammo from cheaperthandirt.com. Remember the ammo price gouging in 2013?

They can set them to whatever they want.  I just buy from the place with the cheapest prices for what I want.

Join the Cabela's Club. I get E-mails on the stuff that I shoot when it goes on sale.

I specify UPS for shipping as the guy will lift into the house for my wife. I am not sure every UPS guy is like that but ours is cool.

I like Cabela's because they give you ammo cans for free and shipping is free and if you get it on sale it is cheap also.

If you go around to gun stores locally you may find re-loaders for plinking stuff.
