First time ammo online

[bandogg]

So I broke down and bought some ammo online (like the title reads for the first time). Just about 1 hour ago I ordered 3 boxes 50 round boxes 1 .45 and 2 9mm.

Now I dont want to say from where, so I dont have any preconceived notions.

I will post when I get them as to how long it took and if my order is right as well as where I bought them from, with the price.

I guess this is for people like me who never have bought ammo online before. For now I just wait

I don't understand this thread. Buying ammo online is not taboo or unusual. Can't believe you only bought 150 rounds. You should have ordered a lil more to catch in on the Savings. For future reference, if you are planning on only buying little amounts of ammo online, go to Cabelas. I order all my .22lr ammo from them and the only reason why I order my .22lr ammo from them is because they send you this cool plastic ammo can that they sell for $16.99 for free if you buy ammo from them so I order one box of .22lr which costs me $13.99 for 500 rounds plus about six dollars for shipping and for $20 bucks I get a nice ammo can and my ammo, can't beat that price.

I've always had good luck buying online. Here's hoping you do too.

I bought ammo online a few times before and I bought in large quantities since I'm going to have to pay an obscene amount for shipping anyways so I might as well make it worthwhile.

It just seems that theres a few people around like me that don't know what to expect from buying ammo online. So I just thought I would share.

AS FOR ONLY GETTING 150 rounds. I would like to see if the website comes through before I send 200-300$. 150 rounds doesn't cost to much and I can still have alittle fun when and if it ever arrives.

So, tell us what site you purchased from. Then we can tell you what to expect as far as service from them.

I buy my ammo online all the time, it is so much easier for me. Plus tax free if you buy out of state. You really need to buy in bulk though to save most, because of the shipping. I found the shipping on say 10 boxes is not normally $2-3 more than the shipping on 1 box.

They come in a regular cardboard box via UPS. The UPS driver would require that someone over the age of 21 is there to sign for it.

May I add that Natchezss has a sale right now. $7.49 for 9mm CCI Blazer and $11.99 for .45 (per box of 50).

Well today checked my e-mail and received a few , well e-mails from the website. One was a welcome to our site, one a conformation of my order, and last one saying prossesing my order with a tracking number to come later.

So far I amy pretty happy about my first online buying ammo. I guess its just like buying anything else online.

I'm just a little oldschool when it comes to buying things. I like to hold and see the items first. Buying online is still kinda new.

I used to be that way too when I first started buying stuff online. Most of my gun related purchases I make online now and have not had any issues.
Glad to hear that you are feeling better about your online purchase. You will not regret it.

So, who did you order from? This is not a super secret process with lots of intrigue and risk!

[richie894]

Yeah, where did you order from? Why all the secrecy? Ordering ammo online is no different to buying a book or dvd from Amazon.

[Backcountry]

Buying stuff online has been common for over ten years.

[tomk556]

Are you wearing a foil hat right now?

What's the big deal about buying ammo online?

[bandogg]

The reason I dont want to say where I ordered from is to avoid the noid .


I'm not sure how common ordering online was in the 90's. But I never ordered anything other than a few magazine subscriptions. So its new to me. Guess i'm on the late show.

Unfortunely my package is to arrive on the one day my wife will be home from work early. She's anti gun.
