And how long did it take? 8 days later I haven't even received an order confirmation. They don't return emails or answer phone calls. What gives? :confused::mad:

I've ordered from them a couple of times. Orders received within a few days.
 
I also just ordered from them a Kahr CW.45 I recall they had a 5-10 expeted shipping because of recent panic buying. Don't know if that was the same for ammo. BTW Been 6 days and haven't heard anything yet but i'll give'm 10 before I try to contact. I also read from someone else on the forum they had problems contacting CS, you paid by CC so if you don't receive you can contact CC company.
 
I've bought from them many times. Usually they are very fast but with the panic now they are slower. I wouldn't worry
 
I ordered a case of 22LR marked "In stock" from Palmetto State Armory during the last S&W forum buy and waited 10 days for a shipping notice. When I did not get one I called. They said they were out of stock but were expecting some soon. I told them, No prolem. Please cancel my order. Their CS Manager, Nicole Kone, said they would charge me a %10 restocking fee. I asked how they could charge a restocking fee for items that are "out of stock?" Then she asked if I would agree to a %5 restocking fee? I said no and to cancel my order. PSA charged me the full %10.

I will not buy from PSA again.

I ordered 1600 round case of MiniMags on 11/26. It's at my door this afternoon.
 
I ordered 10 boxes of .380 back in the summer when it was $12.99 and free shipping. Took about 3 weeks to get it due to the sale I guess.
 
I ordered 6 boxes of 525 count of FEDERAL AMMO 22 LR HP 36GR.COP from Brownells.com on November 13 and still have not heard anything. Anyone else get in on that deal and have any info when its coming back in stock?
 
I bough 6000 CCI Blazers from them before when they were 16$ a box, free shipping and I just bought 1000 9mm blazer brass for cheap. They ship fast, will buy from them any time.
 
I just bought 300 rounds of 9mm from them, they are not fast like Cheaper Than Dirt, but it did show up.

If they tried to charge me a restocking fee for something out of stock I would contact my credit card company.
 
There website has a distinct notice informing visitors that, "Due to increased order volume please allow additional time for your order to process and ship."
 
I've ordered in the past week and received my package today all the way across the country to California. I've been very pleased with their overall service. No problems here. I'll be ordering from them in the future.
 
I ordered 10 boxes of the CCI AR Tactical rounds from them on 11/27. Just received an email tonight that they are scheduled for delivery on 12/10.
 
No ammo so far but I purchased an AR lower parts kit and a few other AR parts from them with no issues. I know they have a thing up on their site now stating that orders are taking longer and so is contacting CS due not only to the panic buying but their recent black friday sales.
 
Be forewarned if you order online for store pickup, I've done that a couple of times and it = PITA. Takes them weeks to get order ready, even before the panic. Last time they charged me shipping for a store pickup! The clerk when I picked up said they would refund the shipping to my card in a "couple of days". Yeah right- took contacting them twice and a month to get my refund.
Even so- I like having their stores locally, just wish they'd get their act together online. One other thing going to the store they may or may not match their OWN online price, seems to be no firm rule on that.
 
I have ordered from them multiple times prior to the panic and had no issues. order was recevied within a few days, I am next door in Georgia so transport time was minimal.

As with all orders right now, everything is back ordered, try to give them a chance, they have been a good supplier for me.

Hope you have good success.
 
Be patient is all I can advise. I have ordered from them dozens of times with no complaint but I don't know if you've received an email apologizing for the massive delays they and the whole industry is experiencing. They are a small family business that has even posted job opportunities to keep up with the demand so shoot what's in your stash in the mean time and I'm sure your order is forth coming.

I have ordered ammo from them several times with no problems. My last order for CCI Tacticals was placed a couple of days before Xmas, and it took 2 weeks to get to me. Have patience.....:)

Jammer
 
I have ordered from them before, they ship pretty slow in normal times, 3-5 days. If you want something shipped the same or next day, try Bravo Company
 
Many of the smaller vendors have had a hard time keeping up with the panic buying. Rainer Arms is another vendor that had to put up a notice for delayed order processing. Lancer Systems even took down their web store temporary.

I just purchased some Federal Bulk .22LR from them for in-store pickup. I got a email conformation right away. Not sure when I'll get a call to pick it up. Last time I ordered online was on Black Friday for a Geiselle SSA trigger. I got a call to pick it up a week later. The credit to my account also took a week.

I recently purchased a GSG 1911-22 and they didn't have a problem price matching it to their website. I always ask before I purchase anything and I've never had a problem. Last summer PSA had a deal for the Aimpoint PRO for $359 but they had to stop the deal because of MAP. However, they still honored it when I went into the store and asked about it.

I ordered some Blazer Brass in 9mm & in 45acp on 1/02/2013. My
order shows to be still "Processing". Sigh...oh well. I ordered some
more 9mm today as locally it seems to have disappeared. Man, this
bites! I haven't been to the range since last year & I'm going into
withdrawal.
 
I placed an order from PSA for 2000 round of Federal American Eagle 22LR on December 28th. They charged my card and the money was removed from my account.

11 days and 2 emails inquiring about my order later and NOTHING!

I ordered 3 525 round Federal 22LR bulk boxes last night, we'll see how it goes.:rolleyes:
 
I have dealt with them some BP (before the panic) and have been satisfied with their service. Don't recall shipping times being unreasonably long.

Things started to get tough after the election for everyone. Now...all bets are off. I ordered some ammo a few days ago from a place that gave plenty of warning it would take awhile. Got an email today telling me it will ship in a month.:eek:

These are difficult times for everyone. Waits are OK if I know I can get it and not pay triple.
