I've never purchased ammo online, but I'm thinking about it. 2 questions:

Anybody have any advise on dos / don'ts?

Can it be shipped to my house in Illinois?

There are several good sights to look at. Two that stick out in my mind are www.ammunitiontogo.com and www.ammoman.com. To find out if they will ship to your residence they will have plenty of information on those sites as to what and where they will ship. I hope that helps. Also, I'm sure some of the other members know of several other good sites to check.

Shop around is my tip. Try cheaperthandirt.com, ammoman.com, ammobank.com, ammunitiontogo.com, and others. Prices vary from site to site and from day to day. Be prepared to encounter pretty high prices right now, as well as a lot of "out of stock" notices. As far as I know, UPS and FEDEX will ship ammo to your house in Illinois.

Here are the shipping considerations I got from ammoman.com

ILLINOIS RESIDENTS MUST HAVE A COPY OF THEIR "F.O.I.D. CARD" ON FILE AND WE MUST SHIP TO THE ADDRESS ON THE CARD - YOU MUST ALSO BE 21 YEARS OF AGE.

To keep shipping down try to find someone close and buy by the case...
