My order was an ammo can, not individual boxes; but there was a label on the can.

I ordered a case of Norma 9mm 124 gr fmj back in Feb. I tried to call all day since I couldn't find the SKU's on the order or box. I finally sent them an email so I'm waiting to see if I'm affected. I gave them the order no. and item no. so I'll see what they say. Haven't had a chance to shoot any of it yet so that just may be a good thing.

Update: I finally got through Norma's store and the person I talked with said that if it was a Norma order and not an Ammoshoponline one I was not affected. He checked my order no. just to make sure and reassured me. Pretty good customer service.

If you have to return to ammoshoponline, here's a head's up:

The contact email is wrong in the notice. They have "sales@..." in the link, it's "Sales@..." with a capital S. I sent several messages, it didn't go through until I changed it.

I just got my return label, and contacted Fedex for the hazardous materials label and a Monday pickup.

Another issue I had was the mailing label; when I went with a 100% size it cornered the info, and my printer cut off the left edge. I decided to print it out at full-page size, so it basically covers the box.

I'm waiting on my return and refund, but I've already spent it on .223 instead of 9mm.

update 6/6, Fedex has my return on the truck. Email from Ammoshop says refund 7-10 days.

Update I have received my refund. If there is a 20% off coupon, I couldn't tell you... I am currently unable to sign into my account. I have not received an email coupon.

New update.

They are running this deal again, Geco 124gr FMJ, 1k loose in a plano box. $299.99.

I had never received an email with a coupon code, but I am now able to sign into my account (couldn't in the last post). Under "my account", there's a section for coupons... it was empty, but said "put items in cart to see codes". So, I opened another tab, and put the case in my cart. When I refreshed the tab with my account into, there was now a coupon listed, click to apply (I didn't even open my cart, so it's probably in there too. I'm just listing how I did it). I clicked it, it then said coupon applied.
I went to my cart, there was an additional $60 off, price was $239.99. Tax was $23.88. Chose free shipping, final cost to door $263.87.

I've used Geco before, always good until the recall, and they caught that fast. I went ahead and ordered, as this is probably about as good as you're going to find right now.
