Its been a while since I’ve ordered ammo. I placed an order with Underwood yesterday for 5 boxes, 20 rounds each 9mm. I was surprised shipping was $24 for 100 rounds of 9mm using UPS.
Is that the going rate today, or is Underwood shipping just high? I looked at ammoseek, but didn’t check shipping from any of their listings as I didn’t recognize any of them … also I was getting tired doing off-hand one-handed keyboard work and hit that point I was ready to be done!
This place last time had flat rate 7.50 other times it is one 16 to 19 … That is one thing I watch if they give a good price and then backdoor you on shipping. I buy thousands of rounds at a time …
Try Target Sports. Free shipping on bulk. If you join their club free shipping on any size order plus a 8% discount. The cost is $100, so to justify it depends on how much ammo you buy. The shipping is quick.
In my experience not on ammo, but on other things. Having said that, they have free shipping days once a month or so that include ammo. I get stuff from them pretty often, and just leave it in my cart til I spot a free shipping day.
I just looked at Midway. The landed price is ~10 dollars more than what I paid, $159.44 vs. $149.19 direct from Underwood. I’ve not seen any of this ammo at a LGS, so I guess I was going to pay the price one way or another if I stayed determined to get this specific SD ammo. I don’t know about you guys, but 100 rounds of self defense ammo qualifies as bulk to me
Yeah, I use Underwood SD ammo myself. Sometimes I order directly from them, sometimes Midway. If I’ve found a free shipping day at Midway, they get the order. Otherwise I go straight to Underwood.
