With the 20% off the ammo was a good price. Now, it's iffy.
Compare prices with [url]www.ammoman.com[/url] they have free shipping. There's SA $375-2700 rounds and free shipping, the same ammo from SG. |

Then you add lets say, $25 shipping charges. That totals up to $336, still far cheaper than $375 from ammoman.... and I love ammoman as much as the next guy. Q3131A would cost me $436 for 2700 rounds. I'll take the 25% savings with the SA stuff. |

I believe that ordering it online and using the $10 off coupon is the cheapest way.
I just received my latest order on Monday. The total with shipping was $314.96. Member price was $284.97. The coupon took $10 off of that and the shipping was $39.99 from MN to CA. That comes to $0.1167 per round. That's the cheapest I have seen. |

Quoted: Then you add $22 for heavy shipping. No. The heavy bulky item surcharge on 2700 rounds is only $10.00. To get the best price possible you order something small like a couple boxes of ammo. They will ask you to join the buyers club to save 5%, you refuse and they up the offer to free shipping (on small orders), you accept at this point and edit your order to include akll the ammo you can afford. They eill not revoke the free shipping once offered, but they will only odfffer if its a small initial order which you then edit to include heavy bulky items. |

Don't forget that members of the Buyer's Club get 5% off of ammo and 10% off of everything else but clearance items. So on a $300 ammo order you would save another $15.
When you order, they will ask you if you want to join the buyer's club to save X amount. Tell them no, they will then offer you 50% off of shipping on that order if you sign up. Now it costs $30 a year, but if you save $15 with the 5% discount and half off of the shipping, you've paid for it! Also, if money is tight because of the holidays they will allow you as a Buyer's Club member to divide your payment via credit card over the next four months... |

Thanks guys!
Turns out I did it like above... ordered a small item, they immediately said I could get free shipping with a signup of membership, then I added the South African 2700 pack. It came out to____$284.97 Membership was____$ 29.99 Bulk shipping fee_$ 22.00 (YES, it was $22) Coupon spg168_____$-10.00 -------------------------- Comes out to______$326.96 delivered, for the .223 ammo.... and I am a member for a year. That comes out to about $0.12 a round. I can live with that. Since I got free shipping, I also threw on 2000 rounds of 9mm while I was at it. [:D] |

When you browse to the ammo section, and search on "South African" you get: WX0-51730 - South African Battlepack .223 cal. FMJ 55Gr. 2700rds.* * Add an additional $22.00 heavy/bulky shipping charge per each. I cannot find your part number anywhere, other than but putting it in manually.... how did you get that part number? |

Man did you screw up by paying that extra $12. It drove your ammo price up $.004 per round! Keep adding that up and pretty soon you are talking about some serious cash!
(sorry....couldn't resist) |

Cheapest way is to go to their south st. paul store and get whatever you want from the back. [:)]

Quoted: I cannot find your part number anywhere, other than but putting it in manually.... how did you get that part number? It is from either the Ammo catalog or HQ Govt surplus catalog. SG regularly list the same product under several different item numbers, and charges a different price for each. I scour the catalogs for the cheapest deal and write that item number on a note pad, rather than trying to find it again in a stack of catalogs. Sorry you paid an extra $12.00, ithought we were all using the same item number. At least the free shipping scam worked for you. |
