More or less the same thing happened to me, on the tail end of the South African 5.56 era. Ah, wouldn't it be nice to have 2700 round cases for $300 again... Anyway, poor customer service is nothing new, particularly on items that are going out of style.
My sympathies on your loss.

Damn... you should have contacted them sooner.... But it seems like you are now fucked when it comes to ordering any at regular price

Shouldn't have waited this long to buy M855 if you really wanted some. Stuff happens, and I'm sure they got swamped. At least they immediately told you that it didn't ship and are refunding you. It could have been a LOT worse.

It could have been a LOT worse. Their shipping process must be completely borked to allow something like this to happen. Totally not his fault. It's considered whiney and annoying to call the day after your order to check up on shipping and get a tracking number, but in retrospect that's what it would have taken to catch this error. Two weeks ago there was plenty of M855 to go around, I almost ordered some from SG and joined their goofy "buyer's club". There, but for the grace of God, go I. |

I would not be happy with them either if the same thing happened to me.
However, I ordered some m855 from them the Saturday I heard about the ban and my shipment was delivered that following week. My orders have always gone smoothly with them. I guess no company is perfect. |

That sucks. I trust them more than Cheaper than Dirt(higher than hell) but I actually got mine from Cheaper and got it in less than a week.

It's easier to tell someone to not be a panic buyer when you already have a nice stock of ammo. Besides, "panic buyer" is a term reserved for those who will spend 150%+ for the product, I paid ~$0.38 a round. That's called buying while you can, not panic buying. |

Bought 15 of the battle packs myself, the day the news came out, and got them last week.

Screw Sportsman's Guide. They pulled this same exact shit right after Sandy Hook. Yes, I know tons of companies were caught off guard by that incident. However, they've had 2+ years to resolve "issues" and "glitches" with their system -- yet, they chose not to resolve said issues. Why? Maybe because it's too easy to simply yank inventory, claim it was oversold and now "out of stock", and magically re-list it a few weeks later for twice the price or more.
Ever since Sandy Hook I've written off Sportsman's Guide and posts like this reaffirm why I did. FSG |

I stopped doing business with these clowns about 10 years ago after being Botach'd on an ammo order.

So they had a glitch, apologized cause they don't have your ammo in stock for God knows why, gave you're money back, and you want to complain. Those stupid humans, don't they know we are all perfect? Bastards, sheesh

They tend to cancel BO's if they receive a shipment and your item was ordered at a low price. Then they put it online at a higher price.......

Back on the 27th they had the 120 round packs of PMC 855 on strippers for $57 and change. I had one in my cart and was on the fence about it since it was on the high side.
Few hours later for some reason it dropped to $52.24. Still not a screamin deal but figured what the heck with free shipping and all. Little while later it went to backorder. Now it is showing available again for $63.64. Same exact sku, even goes to that item when I click the link from my order page. |

This is why I only buy from reputable sellers even if I have to pay a little more.

They have pulled this shit so many times since I have been a member here I have lost count. I had it done to me twice. Its not just the money. Its the time wasted thinking you have ammo coming. |

If for some reason you knew that the stores may not be able to get ground beef anymore, but you could buy some for a reasonable price, wouldn't you buy it? Not all meat, or even all beef would be going away but you'd still probably buy it. The point is they are either not very good at handling orders or they're intentionally lying to me for their own dishonest profit. |

This is typical of Sportsman Guide, I learned to never believe anything that's on paper from them until it shows up. That's why I don't purchase from SG anymore.
