Ripped off by Winchester.. or Wal Mart..

[Faulkner]

This whole product tampering thing started with Tylenal tampering back in the '70's. It's all gone downhill ever since . . . just imagine how much we consumers pay the retail industry in extra costs just to have various products "tamper proofed". Words like integrity and honesty and respect used to mean something, but our country has produced a generation, maybe two, laden with those who do not understand these important words and what they mean.

So today I picked up some ammo at Wal Mart. One of the boxes was 100 rounds of Winchester .38 spcl 130 gr FMJs.

Normally I open the boxes and check them out. WHY OH WHY did I forget to today?!?!

The first time I DON'T open the box and check it out, I get ripped off. When I got home, I opened the box to see one round missing, and the round next to it upside down. Now Wal Mart (at least around here) keeps the boxes behind the counter, so I can say most likely it wasn't some customer.

I'm rather upset about this. I paid 27.97 for the box... so I want 28 cents back from someone!

Moral of the story... always check your boxes before you buy.

What I find unfortunate is the maligning title of this thread. Not knowing how the round disappeared, Winchester and WM are accused. Does the OP really mean that WM stole a round of ammunition? Perhaps it was in the manufacturing process. Perhaps an employee somewhere along the line. Perhaps a shoplifter. I doubt the evil corporations did it intentionally.

99 bullets out of 100 is not a big deal you crybaby. if only 50 were in there then you have something to complain about, or if you bought more expensive ammo instead of the cheapo walmart ammo then you might have something. Its walmart, if it wasnt for them you wouldnt be able to buy cheap ammo at all. so dont be ungreatful and dont blow your top for one bullet buddy

Looks like we may have a troll above!

Boy, we sure all have our stories about this. I was in Reno, NV. several months back during the huge ammunition rush not too long after Obama got elected and stopped in the Cabela's there.

I was looking for .22 rimfire ammo and the whole rimfire aisle was completely bare except for a few bricks of Aguila 60 gr. Sub Sonic Sniper. I decided to get a couple of bricks and when I grabbed two of them and started to walk away, it seemed like something wasn't quite right with the bricks.

I opened both and both were short one box. I'm not accusing Cabela's of anything but I'm glad I checked the bricks.

I never had a problem with Winchester, but a few years ago I had a problem with Remington, EVERY SINGLE TIME I bought some. Loaded ammo or brass cases, no matter where I bought them.

Oh sure, they responded OK and sent me extra brass or a coupon for some more ammo.

Regardless, too much trouble. I avoid Rem. like the plague.
