Ammo Suppliers to Stay Away From

[Real Sniper]

I just tried to order ammo with TargetSportsUSA.com which is also DiscountAmmoSales.com. The person in particular was the internet sales manager named Diana Delmic. These places advertise on their websites you get free shipping with bulk ammo purchases. I found it wasn't the case when I tried to order some bulk ammo and saw shipping charges added. They contacted me about my unfinished order and I told them they lie about free shipping and would not be back. This was their response:

"Free shipping is on case bulk orders only, therefore it is not a LIE. Maybe you should take some time to learn to read English before expressing your dissatisfaction at every opportunity.

There are many places which would welcome our business so these are two I'm not going to use.

The company must be doing very well to respond to a potential customer in this manner.

I don't expect companies to bow down but a response like the one you received is mind boggling.

 

[nipster]

The arrogance of some people...

 

[AirForceShooter]

is the company right though?
Does the web say FULL case?

If someone called me a liar and was wrong I'd be pissed too

I checked the website and there is a tab to click for 'details' about free shipping:

I tried to purchase case quantities and the shipping charges were still added. I even tried other items in case quantities to see what would happen and got the same result. The simple fact is they don't stand behind what they say.

Even if she would be right, a response like that

This was their response:

"Free shipping is on case bulk orders only, therefore it is not a LIE. Maybe you should take some time to learn to read English before expressing your dissatisfaction at every opportunity."

is just immature and way off...!!!

Really? I looked at several items and it was as described. Did you scroll down further on the page? There are two choices, one has a picture of the actual ammo box and the other has a picture of a brown cardboard box which is the case. Click on the brown box image and there will be no shipping charge at checkout. If you click on the ammo box picture shipping will show up so that may be where the problem is. If you order correctly there shouldn't be a problem. I see no effort on their part to deceive anyone and if you called me a liar my reply would probably burn a hole in your screen. I thought she was quite restrained.

There's certainly no reason for them to be rude to you, I understand you being mad.

I have ordered from them and never paid shipping on a case of the same ammo, 1K rounds. So, I just went there before my post and put a case of American Eagle 9mm 147g ammo in my cart. I took it all the way to "PLACE ORDER", the price was 279.80 and no shipping was charged.

Sorry you had a problem. There are plenty of places to buy ammo and I subscribe to all their news letters so I can shop for the best value.

I have always had a good experience with target sports. I try to treat folks the way I want to be treated.

So, I think they responded just fine to him. Sounds to me like the OP was being a jerk right off the bat and treated them how he wanted to be treated. Does nobody else see that the way he responded to their inquiry was pretty crappy?

The OP was certainly not as diplomatic or polite as he should have been.

The response he received was inappropriate. If the person in question was working in my store they would be fired.

 

[Drexx3]

From a store owner's perspective I can appreciate your position and would likely agree with you if I were as well. But I'm not, and standing on the sidelines and trying to look at it objectively I say good for them. The customer is not always right. Maybe I'm just watching too much reality TV.

 

[ozarker321]

I have bought ammo by the case from TargetSportsUSA a few times and all they have ever added was a couple of dollars for insurance. I've had very fast shipping too.

 

[MP22]

Sounds like Target Sports was in the right....!

I know there's a moral to this story, but I'm not quite sure what it is.

I was just able to order 1000 rounds of Eagle 147g also from my LGS for 11.99 per box. Even with my 8.25% sales tax here it still came to less than the online price without shipping. Don't always assume you get a better price online.

I use Cheaper Than Dirt never had a problem. The trick to keeping the shipping cost LOW is to order all products thru the same warehouse eg: A, B, C, D, G, H,. If you order from multiple different warehouses there is a shipping cost from each warehouse/location. VB

 

[ArchAngelCD]

Free shipping is on case bulk orders only, therefore it is not a LIE. Maybe you should take some time to learn to read English before expressing your dissatisfaction at every opportunity.

The part of their response I placed in bold leads me to believe the OP and that company have had more than one run in already, probably many! If this is a patten it's possible the company wants no part of him any more.

Like said above, if I were called a lair outright I would not react well either, especially if it's happened more than once. (but we are only hearing one side)

I had a good experience with Target Sports USA. Everything provided as advertised and I had my ammo in 5 days.
