Live and learn. I will NEVER do business with these folks again, and I encourage everyone else to stay clear. It was "in stock" when I placed the order, and now it's a minimum of 4 months to get my order? These folks are nothing but crooks. I'm about as fed up as I can get.

Is this typical of the current situation? Am I wrong in thinking this is beyond what is reasonable?
Nevermind. I sent them an email with the law they were breaking, and they canceled the order. I'll be filing a complaint with the FTC and BBB.

Re: ammo on sale

Ordered ammo online from Mountain Range on 2/2. Original anticipated date 2/15. Nothing. Then early March. Nothing. Now mid-April. We'll see.

I know they are having supply problems, but what annoys me some is that there was no delay charging my card. They got their money 2/2. I get my ammo....April? May? 2015? A touch frustrating.

Re: ammo on sale

Question: I back ordered some ammo from Mountain Range online. At the time, their estimated arrival date was mid-Feb. They're now showing those same products as no longer backorderable and with a delivery date of 3/7/2013. This is the first time I've ordered ammo online. Should I anticipate something around their original date, their new date, or "in the fullness of time"? any ideas? magic-8-ball says?

Re: ammo on sale

I'm in Round Rock, but with my schedule, I tend to be absent a lot. I'm actually on the road right now, but thanks to the miracle of the internet, here I am.

Re: ammo on sale

I'm looking for .223, 9, and 45. Nothing special, just fmj ball practice ammo.

Re: ammo on sale

For those who went through this ammo shortage before, what is the best way to deal with it?

Is backordering at say Brownells the way to go?
Should I be stalking my local WalMart?
Am I going to just have to pay the gunbroker prices?

Any tips on being able to keep the guns fed without a second job?

Re: ammo on sale

So, now the question is how much to order... hmm...

In all seriousness, thanks for the feedback. I'm new to the whole online-ordering for firearms stuff, but my local shop can't keep anything on the shelves.

Re: ammo on sale

How reliable is it to place a backorder with a place like Cabellas? If they're guessing 2-3 weeks, is that likely to be real date or pipe dream?
