AIMSURPLUS ammo question

[USMC VET]

I was reading their policy and noticed they require ID verification prior to purchase as well as record retention.

I understand they need to protect themselves but I thought that's what the shipping (ups,fedex) company is supposed to do?

I've never purchased ammo online before, is this common practice?

Yes, usually you can fax them a copy of your DL. The delivery will require an adult signature.

You can take a digital picture of your ID and send it to them online as a JPG, very easy to become registered with AIM. I have order C&R's and ammo from them and have been very happy with them.

Sweet. Looking at joining the mosin club so I think I'll be ordering from them. Thanks for the help.

Some companies ask for Driver license and ship with Adult signature confirmation, some dont. Its up the the company

AIMSurplus requires a copy of that ID to see if you're an adult.

I've had a lot of ammo shipped from them, but an adult signature was never required. I would find the package waiting for me on my doorstep.

AIM is GtG for ammo...

Sent straight to my door, no signature required.

When I first ordered from J&G Sales, they said I could either send them a copy of my DL to prove age, or they could send the ammo "Adult Signature Required". It's a few dollars cheaper if they don't send it "Adult Signature Required", so I sent them a copy of my DL.

With AIM there wasn't an option. I had to send a copy of my DL and the ammo arrived without a signature required.

That's why it's better to get it at gun shows. None of that ridiculous junk required.

I'd rather deal with a company that doesn't feel the need to have a copy of my DL on file. That's just asking for identity theft. SGAmmo or J&G Sales would get my business if I did buy ammo mail-order.

I get mine at gun shows no shipping, just arrive early with your hand cart...

[Markus]

Ive found pricing at the gun shows has been sort of meh lately.... Then again Ive gotten into reloading so it throws of my perception of a good deal. The only thing I like to get from them ammo wise is the self defense ammo which if you like me and only need a few boxes its not worth it online with shipping and everything.

If you pay with a CC, they know how old you are. I have never had to send in a DL to buy ammo, but have never bought any from AIM.

Very common practice, CYA
