Quoted:
Ive been buying bulk ammo for years and I've always done it 1 of 2 ways. I have it shipped to a friends in RI or have it shipped to a FFL dealer and they will take shipment. I've never heard anyone having ammo shipped directly to them. I've only purchased around 25,000 rounds online and I might be wrong. If I am someone needs to let me know so I can have it shipped directly to me, but no ammo dealer can ship to a individual so I think they are correct. Some places won't even ship to another FFL shop in MA
You are wrong. There is NO LAW in MA that forbids mail-order ammo. The AG has intimidated about a dozen mail-order places into NOT shipping anything into MA and that has been effective . . . rumors take on a life of its own from there.
MA residents have to have a LTC or FID in order to possess ammo (or components/pre-ban large cap mags), but the legal responsibility falls on the buyer not the out of state seller. Prudence may dictate requesting a copy of said license prior to shipping the ammo for your records, but the AG has NEVER gone after an individual for a "one off" shipment of any ammo into MA.
The MA AG has people trolling forums for intel on who will ship to MA residents and for that reason, many forums will forbid listing names of distributors/dealers who will ship to MA. Regardless it is unwise to post that sort of info to protect those dealers from harassment by MA bureaucrats.
