Ammo Shipping/Problems

RED ZMAN · #1 04-19-2013, 10:23 PM

Thought I'd post this here, since so many folks can't listen to the staff and keep posting in the For Sale thread.

If you want to post that your ammo has shipped, or anything else, post it here.

I placed an order 2 days ago at Graf & Sons - The Reloading Authority - Your Source for Shooting Supplies for the SK 500 round cans.

SK420121 SK AMMO 22LR 40gr LRN MAGAZINE 500/can
Graf & Sons - SK AMMO 22LR 40gr LRN MAGAZINE 500/can 10/CS

$.09 a round shipped.

Notification when ordered that it would be 2 weeks before it shipped, I got a shipping notice a few minutes ago. Will update more when I have more.

Please everyone, post your talk/shipping/problem posts here, so the Ammo thread doesn't get closed again.

I have a feeling soon it'll be permanent.

Well then, my grafs order shipped in two days. It's a great thing to be able to let people know which companies are good to work with.

I've got a Cabela's about 1/2 an hour away. I've been lucky to catch some .22 LR in stock. I've made one trip and picked up several orders (and bit on an on-sale $149.99 P-22 scope) and am waiting for a bit more to show up at the store again. I'd never buy a single $8 or $9 pack of MiniMags and pay shipping to me (even with $5 special shipping) but I have no problem grabbing one when in stock to ship to the store.

I will say that they seem to drop the ball on the status/tracking updates of the orders shipping to the store. Online it usually it goes from "In Stock" to "Shipped" then magically several days or a week later says "Ready for Pick Up". I do get emails when it's ready for pick-up but that's it. I don't even get a confirmation email when I place the order (though I do see the order tied to my account online).

Yep, Cabela's status/tracking does suck. My orders took 2 spent 2 business days in the "In Processing" status before it change to "Shipped" and then I still gotta wait for at least 4 business days before it ready to be pick up at the store 50 minutes away. But I do like to get cheap ammo and avoid the shipping charges for it. So it a good trade off

I ordered from Graf on Wed (or Thurs, I forget

), I got notice that it shipped today. I was also thinking about the 2 week shipping notice so this was a pleasant surprise.

Three different family members ordered the 2,100 Federal ammo can from Cabelas last Friday. My friend did as well but he has a Cabelas in his home town. His is ready to pick up today. The other three only have had a UPS label printed for them. No tracking info at all. Emailed Cabelas and was told to reply back if I didn't have them by Monday because sometimes UPS tracking doesn't update until a shipment is 1/2 way to its destination.

Thanks for the line of BS Cabelas. I'm already shooting the ammo I purchased 2 days earlier and it looks like you haven't even gotten my new order off your pallet.

Love the price. Hate the customer "service".

Sorry, grumpy and had to vent.

That's BS about UPS updating. I deal with them everyday shipping and receiving, and the system they use is instant, every time that barcode is scanned the system is updated.

Did you get tracking info or delivery confirmation? Because there is a difference and even though most of the time you can track the package with a delivery confirmation it doesn't work that way all the time and you may only be notified when it's been delivered.

It is the tracking number. I have ordered from them before. I received my email with the tracking link and it takes me to the UPS site that says that a label was printed Monday. Normally win a day the package is origin scanned by UPS and the whole trip is tracked. UPS hasn't even sniffed my current order.

Considering my friend ordered his after mine I'm even more upset with Cabelas. Can't wait for the reason I will get when I can Monday.

My box of 2100 round arrived Friday so at least some arrived

I had the same issue with the order showing shipped but only a label being printed for tracking results. It updated today for the first time with a origin scan in salt lake utah and delivery tomorrow. Not sure what the deal was but its close now.

Griz Behr · #13 04-22-2013, 10:35 PM

I saw the same thing this afternoon. Wonder why it took a week to process an in stock order. Oh we'll, I wasn't shooting Wednesday (when mine arrives) anyway. And I finally have an answer for the in-laws which is good. My Wife never questions me...*cough*

bandit67 · #14 04-23-2013, 11:04 AM

Give me a break! Quit whining! You think your measly order is the only one they are dealing with? I've had plenty of vendors print labels and not get around to shipping for a few days in the last few months during this insane buying frenzy.

An admin person and a computer can crank out a ton more shipping labels than the folks in the warehouse can get the product pulled & shipped. You should be happy that they are big enough to be able to move more folks into the shipping process in an attempt to speed things up as much as possible.

I apparently ordered before you did, and my order of 2100 rounds is still showing as backordered. But you don't hear me crying about it. Why? Because I understand that things are crazy right now, and no one in the gun industry can keep up with orders. Makes it even worse for them when folks like you claim lousy customer service because your order doesn't get special treatment above and beyond the thousands of other customers that they have to take care of.

I ordered my 2100 rds of Federal .22lr back in mid December. Four months of backorder status, the status changed to "cancelled" within the past week. I called up Cabela's and told them I was willing to wait further if necessary but they said since they had no stock, no need keeping this order open any longer. What was the average wait for those who got their order?

Jb22 · #16 04-23-2013, 06:01 PM

I ordered Friday and received the next Thursday. They must hav changed skus or something

private pile · #17 04-23-2013, 07:40 PM

Did you order from their website? I go there and look. I can't find ANY .22lr ammo for sale.

stick_em_up · #18 04-24-2013, 07:58 PM

I'm 500 rounds richer today, thanks to Grafs.com. One week after order ain't bad. One thing I noticed is that the sk ammo in the can is extremely oily. Is this normal?

RED ZMAN · #19 04-24-2013, 08:29 PM

Got my SK Ammo today...

Neat sealed containers.

Bullets are firmly attached, and all in good shape, rather oily though.

Blasted from my Samsung Galaxy SIII (CM10.1 Masta Mix).

Anyone ever have problems w/shipments from Palmetto State Armory? I've got a box of Federal 525 .22lr that is still showing a "Processing" status. I placed that order on the 22nd this month.
I've sent them an email using their website in-shop email service and no response yet.

I ordered a couple of boxes of 9mm from Palmetto on 4/20 and got them 4/29 no problems....also got 2 boxes each from Cabela's and Ammunition to Go...all arrived on 4/29.....Ammo to go took the longest and Cabela's was the quickest. I finally have acquired 1000 rounds of 9mm......now to go burn some up at the range!

bandit67 · #22 04-30-2013, 09:51 PM

PSA was a bit backed up for a while, so some shipments were taking a while, but in the last month & a half, most of my shipments have gone out within a week. I've noticed that some of the ammo shipments have taken longer.

I have the best luck calling them - it's a lot quicker than they can deal with all the emails they get. You may end up on hold for 10 or 15 minutes, but then you'll get your answers.

Nevada Ed · #23 05-01-2013, 10:59 AM

I placed an order last month on the 18th.........wondered why it had not arrived yet.
Called the company and found out with all the orders, that it was still in the warehouse and would ship in 3-4 more days !!
First time ever that I have been down to only 150 w209 primers. Looks like I will have to slow down on my trap shooting a little.
Good news is that they arrived a day early!
