You live close. Ammunition to Go is closer to me so they're shipping prices are better. UPS charges factor in the distance as well as weight so it will very form person to person. |
Maybe so..but I bet you gotta pay sales tax  Aim charged me $16 per K of 5.56 shipping to KC. I don't know what the sales tax is in OH, but here it's 7.725%. Shipping is just under $10 less than payin sales tax. What's nice around here is buying something in MO when you live in KS, have them ship it 10 miles and beat the tax too....Now that I think about it, that might be one of the ONLY good things about livin here  . It's FRIGGIN COLD OUTSIDE  Oh yeah, NO suppressors, no bbls less than 16", no full auto.....hey it still beats Kalifornia, Washington DC, and NY/NJ |

"when you live in KS" Amongst other depressing things, your governess endorses Osama Obama. Bet Dorothy wouldn't recognize the place any more. And we'll only avoid sales tax on internet sales until the congress critters figure out how to get their grubby mitts on that too ....... |

ATG is better and you dont have to send them a copy of your DL... according to AIM, if you are a first time customer you need to give them a copy of your DL to verify age, etc....I am not giving those bastards more info than they need. ATG you can order without all that BS |
those bastards |
How dare they demand to know who you are! |
For the record, I don't appreciate that either. I did it, but I don't like it. |

"ATG is better and you dont have to send them a copy of your DL..." I don't know about better, but they sure charge more for most items. The no D/L thing will last until some state's AG comes down on them like they did on AIM. The majority of vendors ask for some kind of indication it isn't a 16 year old ordering. Many won't even sell to certain states or subdivisions thereof due to local laws/hassles. How much surplus ammo will go to Kalifornia when AH-nold makes 'em stamp every individual bullet with super-secret micro-encoding? |
The Gubbermint types are always talking about figuring a way to collect that and now the economy is taking a shit you can bet that they are eying it again.I realize shipping cost are up but that hazmat is the worst and always has been,how many UPS trucks,warehouses or planes have lit up?,only the brown bank account has gone up Any website should have the shipping cost calculator the first thing up on the page even before you begin an order so you can compare the "Secure Packaging"and all the other stuff they tack on,Midway is the worst with the double shipping cost on their powders and primers that are sent drop shipped making powder from them even on sale regular retail |
I also forgot to mention MidWayUSA. No D/L required.  There are plenty of other vendors out there which all you have to do is use your CC and the transaction is done. If a CC is used the person will be at least 18 years old, unless it is stolen then the vendor will have to deal with other issues.

I don't know what you guys are crying about. Anybody that wants to know what you ordered has access to that information anyway, in this day and age. Especially if you order on-line, from your home computer, using your Visa. Be it credit card or check card. Even if you just mailed in the order with cash, there would be a way of tracking where what went to, and to who, from the vendor side because they use computers to track their stuff. If you don't want to be tracked, live in the woods, drink from a creek, and eat rabbits and squirrels for the rest of your life. |
Uhhh buddy I think you missed the boat. I don't give a shit about who knows what I have ordered. My issues is not providing anymore info than what is required. Not only do they have your CC but require a copy of your DL. What's next your SSN to see if you are a fking Mexican fence hopper. |
I think you are the only one that missed the boat. How else are they supposed to comply with federal law and verify you are of age to buy ammunition? The only other way to do it, would be to require an adult signature, of the person that ordered it, at time of delivery( 21 year old adult if it is handgun ammo). And who is going to pay for return shipping when the evidence can't be provided? Then it will be the vendors fault for not making sure that the person they were shipping the ammo to was eligible to purchase, right? |
Their lost is midwayUSA's gain. Like I said there are other vendors that don't require it. I guess it is the state that they operate in. |

Adding to mystery of the post.........I hate being asked (Actually Greatly Offended)if I am a mex when I went to Wally and forced to use the idiot auto checkout,good that prices of ammo went way up now I can go to other places for my stuff.I told the helper clerk who came over when she saw I was a bit pissy about using the thing and I told her. She said did I like the thing and said no and how many workers got the axe for this and do they have illegal mexicans working at the stores and she said probably. What's next your SSN to see if you are a fking Mexican fence hopper. |
First, you've obviously never had anyone gain access to your personal information. And experienced what a pain and trouble that is. Don't tell me that I should give my personal information to anyone who wants it, because it's easy to get anyways. That is simply retarded. Second, I want you to explain to me how your "theory" (if it can be called that) about verifying age, and shipping stuff back applies to AIM, but doesn't apply to the thousands of other vendors out there who don't check ID and just ask you to plug in your birth date. Are they violating federal law? You don't seem to be understanding that AIM and some others that require IDs are the EXCEPTION, not the RULE. Again, I like AIM plenty. I just don't like it that they have my ID. |
|
first, the only reason we check IDs is do to a Lawsuit involving a sting, as more companies are involved, the more companies will require it. (there are many threads discussing this so no need for a re-hash) Second, we input your DOB and drivers license # (unles you live in a state where thats your social). Then we cross cut shred the copy. No harm no foul, if you don't want to do this, i understand, but thats what we have to do it. OR send us your ffl, and thats all you need. |
First. Don't go putting words in my mouth. I didn't say just give your information out to anyone. Learn how to read or STFU. Second, read the federal law on supplying ammo to minors and criminals. How the different vendors choose to fulfill that requirement, is up to them, not me. Third, I've bought ammo from several different vendors. Many of them have the same requirement, or another pain in the ass alternative. If you don't like their rules go somewhere else. Start reading and looking around, then go ahead and start feeling stupid. |
