*Warning!* Freedom Ammunition

[MarikinaMan]

Crap, my guard was down and I placed on order in the middle of the night based on an Ammoseek.com listing. I did a couple of searches and found nothing really. But more searches today turned up some bad juju.

I placed a sizeable order, and I now have to wait. I called my credit card company and put a note in. Also wrote the company and gave a stern note that I expect new and original ammo. Whatever happens, I am confident my CC will make me whole. I may be in for a bit of tussle, but am decided just to work through it. I wont stress.

We shall see. Sucks.

To be fair, the owner wrote me back giving assurance that the ammo to be new and as described. I wrote back saying that my note was based on internet reviews and that I was apprehensive reading them.

Thus far, I have no opinion, just apprehension. I will know more in the next couple of days.

from my experience (not with Freedom Ammunition), usually when a label is created by a vendor that means the product is ready to ship and they are waiting for the carrier to pick up the order...i've seen labels created and still not picked up and put in the tracking system for several days, so its difficult to say when your order would have actually shipped out

i've also had notifications from other vendors saying my order has shipped, then, when i checked the tracking it stated that the label was created but not yet picked up...maybe its a little white lie they tend to get away with by telling customers that the order has shipped, even though they still have it in their warehouse...i don't know

usually when i see the label created bullcrap i give it a few more days, but im not always happy about the way they do it

That's not just a guns and ammo thing either but ya I've seen a few of my favorite vendors do that in the past. But in their defense those were the panic days of 2013 so I'm not blaming them. I bet they were filling back to back UPs and fedex vans to get all their orders out

I ordered 400 rounds of Remington Premier Match 300 blackout. Arrived in Los Angeles in 3 days from OH. No hassle, no problem, communicated promptly and quick shipping.

I wrote after I saw this thread, after I placed my order, saying I expect to get my stuff new. There are is a review out there that they sent reman vs. net. They assured me that it would be new. I gave a Yelp review as well.

That's my experience.

Just to be sure are you talking about freedom munitions or freedom ammunition. They are 2 different companys

Freedom Ammunition, Fremont, Ohio.

It looked like the ammo was drop shipped from a source that was identical to a bunch of other Remington ammo I just purchased from other sources. External box, receipts, filler were all identical. The invoice, with the exception of the part where it says SELLER, was the same too, including language.

I have done business with Freedom Ammunition numerous times without issues. I just ordered 1K rounds of 223, 2k rounds of 9mm and 500 rounds of 40 (for me and my buddies that were going shooting) Came fast, no issues just like the other times I ordered from them. The rounds were rebuilds and every single one fired with no issues, again, just like with my previous purchases.

You want cheaper shipping subscribe to their site and you get a 1x free shipping code. I've done this twice with no issues, used a different email both times. I see numerous post complaining about Freedom Ammunitions shipping cost but free beats Freedom Munitions, Cheaper that dirt or otherwise. I looked at Ammo seek before buying those rounds, you can find the rounds cheaper until you add in shipping and every single one of them with shipping came out to be more than FM rounds with free shipping.

No I don't work for them nor am I affiliated with them, I am a nurse.

Thank's, I'm glad your order went well.

Late update I know... But I had once considered buying from Freedom Ammunition. Shipping was high so I passed.

After reading this thread thought I'd give them a heads up and let them know that there's some bad press out there. After looking over their cancellation policy, I really wanted to see how they would respond. So I sent an email. Here is what I got back:

Wow!

it says that if you subscribe to them ( and i did ) your first order shipping is free. It also says it will go in when you submit the order . it didn't and the shipping was $80 for 2k rounds of 9mm.i called the phone # to ask and no answer. It was a weekend only deal so I asked for my free shipping in the comment section. I got a reply an hour later saying there was no free shipping and if i cancelled they would charge a fee . Shipping was $80 !!!!!!!! I called CC immediately. They said I had to wait for them to charge the fee then i can dispute it.Gotta wait now.
