I ordered a spam can of 556x39 and couple of empty ammo cans.
Guess what?? Aim wants my photo id to be emailed to them. Sorry, I will take my business to Target or Classic, or 100s of others vendors. My colleague in MD always order from Aim, and he never received any request for that. If this is by mistake or if it is govt. requirement, I will understand. Otherwise, I will not be supporting any company that is anti-MD. |

When I accept the terms during the placement of order that I am above 18, it should be enough for any business to defend legally. It will be upon me, if I lied. Moreover, they can ship orm-d package with age verification and I will show my id before taking delivery. I have lost count of online vendors who I have ordered ammo from, and no one asked.
Wrong example about walmart. I guess you never ordered from PSA, Natchez, Target, BassPro, Cabelas, Freedomunitions, and so many other I don't remember. Tell me which one of them ask you to send a copy of your driving license before they ship ammo?? Sorry, I am not going to treat Aimsurplus any differently that any other vendors. I have heard that they are great, but not for me. |
| No one is forcing you to buy from Aim, if you don't like their policies take your business elsewhere, but have fun paying more at the retailers you listed. Your colleague is also either lying to you or forgot that he gave Aim his ID since his orders would have not gone through without it. |

How Do I Buy Ammo?
By purchasing from AIM Surplus either online or over the phone, you affirm that you: Are a U.S. citizen Are 21 years of age or older Have never been convicted of a felony or crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year Have never been adjudicated as mentally defective or been committed to a mental institution Have never been a fugitive from justice, an unlawful user of any controlled substance Have never been dishonorably discharged from the Armed Forces Have never renounced his or her US citizenship Have never been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence. Are not currently subject to a court order that restrains you from harassing, stalking, or threatening an intimate partner or child. It is our company policy to sell ammunition to properly-licensed US citizens only. You will be asked to agree to these terms and submit a government issued identification verifying your age to be at least 21 years BEFORE the order will be processed. Submit a copy of a government issued identification to prove your age is at least 21 years. This i.d. should be submitted before or with your order. The identification only has to be submitted with your first order. We will maintain a date of birth record on file sufficient for subsequent orders. The i.d. may be emailed, mailed or faxed. Orders for ammunition will NOT be shipped without proper identification and your confirmation to the above eligibility requirements Some states like Illinois and New Jersey require their residents to present a copy of a firearms/ammunition owners identification card when purchasing. Feel free to contact us by phone or email if you want to make sure your appropriate licensing is already on record It for everyone not just MD. I though the same thing three years ago when I first found AIM and didnt order from them because of it that was a big mistake just give them your ID and kiss all your money good bye they have the best price on everything |

I found it a little odd at first that AIM wanted a scan of my license for ammo too. Mainly just because I had not seen it before. I was however impressed with how easy they make it for you to accomplish this via your account settings.
After watching AIM for quite a while, and their reaction to various state laws being enacted, I have determined that AIM is one of the most reliable vendors for actually adhering to the law, and not going above and beyond. An example of this would be shipping rifles without magazines to states with restrictions. There are several vendors who choose to remain uneducated about laws in certain areas and simply refuse to sell to them. Not only does that lose a bit of a market for them, it gives me a hint that they may not be run by the most pragmatic people. I would give AIM my ID again and salute them for actually taking the time and money to figure out the best way to sell their products everywhere they can. |

They're not "anti-MD", everybody has to show ID one time, way to blow a fuse at the wrong people, AIM doesn't make the rules for MD or anywhere else. Derp.  Glad to know they are not anti-md. I will ask them to cancel my order. Btw, for people who believe that only aim has the best price, they need to look some more. All this made me to do a google search and I found a vendor with exactly the same price for the spam can. Ok, the shipping is 10 bucks more, but it saves me the hassle to send my DL copy to someone for no reason. I guess, they are not going to miss me or vice versa.

If only they made a device where you could take a picture of an ID and email it to AIM and have it only take about 30 seconds. Oh well I guess one day technology will be that good. |

I ordered a spam can of 556x39 That is a bad-ass caliber for sure. In all seriousness, this has always been AIM's policy and the policy of other vendors on the internet. Maybe not all, but AIM's not alone. It's definitely your right to buy elsewhere if you don't like it. But you're turning your back on good people who are, frankly, not the unreasonable ones here. |

Hey, more left for us! I'm a big fan of AIM. And as far as submitting ID, they have the most convenient process I've encountered. Everyone else makes me fax a copy of the DL/FOID with every single order. It may be because of your state. I don't know. Like I said, no other online vendor listed above (including Midway) ever asked me to send my DL copy, when I ordered Ammo from them. Then, I see a lot of suckers here for Aim, so I am sure Aim is a good company and treats their customers right. |

I have been with enough lawyers, that it kinda rubs off on me 
I am sure they are good, but I prefer not to leave copies of my ID to places, until it is absolutely necessary. It is just a quirk. In this case, like I said, I have found other options where I don't have to. |

Why don't you just give your buddy some cash and have him order it if he's on file. Yeah, that is what I will do. We usually order together, anyway. If only they had 7.62x39 in surplus, I would have ordered so much more and ignored my quirk. Wolf/Tula is good, but I do miss surplus 7.62X39. |
