.22 lr ammo availability improving?

Tell them you want to send them back and they will listen.

[SilverBandit]

Oh come on, that's not so bad...

I have had many sleeves damaged but never to the extent of that

I repacked them all in extra sleeves that I had, all 1200 rounds accounted for. I emailed Larry and they credited me for the shipping. Disppointing, but better than nothing.

Yup Midway has little kids working in their packaging dept... shipped my ammo without any packaging material at all!! I ordered 30 boxes and every single box cracked and some broken to the point where the ammo was all over the place!

That's horrible.....

That blows. Cabelas and Gander have stepped up the past few years IIRC... it is tough to unwrap the boxes from the bubble wrap prison they are always in but not much damage can happen packed they way they usually do it. I'm never surprised to see a couple cracked sliders though, but blame it on the carrier playing kick the box or something. It is crazy how some stuff gets shipped from Ebay sellers though... heavy valuable objects in flimsy single layer bubble envelopes is my pet peeve. You can't save on shipping if the envelope tears open and a claim gets filed - or someone along the route gets curious and easily removes the contents. I lost a cheap Mora Knife that way once, but it easily could have been a valuable one.

Order online for shipping and you can get a 2500 rounds delivered for about .09 per round which is not bad. If you order 5000 it is more like .095 per round shipping doesn't scale well. A little better than Cabela's shipped free for 2500 (for the 50 packs anyway).

10 box limit - according to their mailer

The only reason mine wasn't as bad as yours was because my entire box was filled with ammo boxes... and the boxes on the outer edges served as packaging material for the boxes towards the center...

Same here. The box held exactly 12 sleeves with less than a 1/4" of space in each direction, but enough so they could move and bang against each other and disintegrate. The 4 sleeves in the center survived and the rest were in pieces. I think the smaller mini-sleeves are more durable because of their size.

I just got LUCKY AS HELL:
5x525 Golden Bullets boxes, Total $184, with free shipping at Cabela's
They sold out as I was trying to link it for y'all, but I had to complete the purchase before you guys got a hold of it, of course. .070/ea


Regarding bad ammo packaging... I got a few 50rd boxes to try of different types from GanderMountain. They were all just thrown in a box with some paper packing, and 2 rounds missing, after I emptied the box, and counted the lose rounds. I wonder if UPS dropped them on the sidewalk or in their shipping facility somewhere, not of their own fault, but GanderMountain's.

10 box limit - according to their mailer
https://www.turners.com/info/weekly-ad

According to the online CART, the limit is 999 or 49,950 rounds

If there is a limit for online orders it is enforced after the order - or at least after the cart is submitted.

I received my Bass Pro order for the six CCI Xmas packs of SV (300 rounds in 50 round sliders). No damage. They picked a perfect sized box and stuffed it with material with ammo on the bottom. $3.69 per box with tax, .0738 per round not bad but only 300 rounds for $22. Should have a few from Gander incoming soon.

[crufflers]

Two Gander orders arrived packed OK. One package had Ganders plastic straps broken and ONE slider cracked, but no loose rounds. I think the issues are mostly mail handlers not caring about your packages.

Nothing to complain about. 1000 more rounds of mini-mags for less than $65 - .0649 per round delivered.

Same with mine. 9 sleeves perfect, one cracked on the end.
