Default Reloading Depot USA

Has anyone done business with this outfit? They show 2400 and Unique in stock. I placed an order but the payment options were limited to PayPal and Zelle and couldn't be completed through the website.

As of now I am not out anything, but the email exchanges to set up payment seem odd.

Asking for personal experience with this vendor only, not general axioms about how to do business. I was born at night, but it wasn't last night.

I found myself in exactly your situation, probably looking for the same powders.
A quick search led me to conclude they are a scam outfit.

They take orders for products that they mostly do not have in stock.
They don’t take phone orders and nobody I’ve heard from has ever found an actual street address for them.

Of course, I did not place an order.

Sorry, but that’s the extent of my experience.

BTW…If you do a general online search using just the business name, you’ll quickly find all the negative experiences you’d care to read.

Thanks all. I was looking for a satisfied customer. Looks like a long wait.

Chad, that link is an interesting marketing concept. It was good to see they almost trust you, too.

With the continuing drift toward a cashless society and having to chat with 3 bots before even being given the option to speak with a person on the phone (e.g. my bank and insurance company) the payment options looked less like a red flag and more like SSDD.

I just looked at their website and just looking at their Alliant powder listings pegged my scam meter out. Their prices are much too low for the here and now! $280 for an 8 lb keg of 2400? Just look at the pricing for that at Powder Valley for instance. They don't have 2400 in stock, but they had it last priced at around $355 for an 8 lb keg.

Says they have a store in Tucson. Anybody in AZ shop there?

NM .. did some digging and I'm simply amazed that the reloading depot website is allowed to stay up.
