Anyone order online from Defender Outdoors?

Recommended Posts

Hey all, just wanted to see if anyone had any experiences ordering online with Defender Outdoors out of Ft Worth TX?  I'm looking at ammoseek.com and they have one of the best prices that I've seen for the 9mm range ammo that I use (Sellier & Bellot 124gr FMJ) and figured why not place an order.   I usually use SGAmmo.com and Bulkammo.com but SG is sold out and Bulk has boxes of 50 but almost $18 a box.....Defender has them for just over $11 a box, and this is pretty much right on par with SG's price when they have it in stock.

 

So am I going to be the guinea pig or does anyone have any reviews of Defender?  Thanks!

IIRC sportsmans guide has a similar price now on S&B 9mm.

Saw that...like $232 1000 rounds for member price. I got it at Defender for $226 for 1000. Ended up doing Defender because they had some .38 and .357 that i wanted that was cheaper than SG so I went with them. Hopefully they're ok!

Nowadays you are VERY well protected credit cards or paypal.. i wouldn't worry too much.

Agreed. They have a bunch of 5 star Yelp reviews so I'm giving them a try. I'll post back when the stuff comes.

 

So far they needed a copy of my FID and dr. Lic. to process my order

Yeah, if you can save some money id definitely try it.
That is nothing out of the ordinary. Many are unfamiliar with our laws here in the peoples republic and retain that information to cover their own asses when the state comes knocking because of some stupid stuff someone pulled.
I know Freedom Munitions asked for my papers, as well. I dont blame them, id do the same thing myself if i were in the same position.

Yea I've heard of places asking for the papers but this was the 1st time I had to do my drivers license.  Bulkammo was just my FID,  SGAmmo was nothing at all, and Defender wanted both the FID and DL.

 

On a plus side, I sent Defender my info yesterday around 2pm and I was "approved" within the hour.   My order which I had selected the shipping to be "3-7 business days" for $9.99 was already picked up by FedEx and the tracking shows that I will have it on Friday.  So far it seems like these guys are a-ok.  Will keep y'all posted with progress.

Just a quick update on Defender.   Placed my order Tuesday about 2pm....had to send my docs and I was approved by 3pm.  So in checking the tracking, it's out on a FedEx truck for delivery to me today.  So far big big plusses for these guys, hopefully the box arrives intact and I'll be sure to report back on that.

 

S&B 9mm 124gr.....50 ct for $11.34, so 1000 was $226  (they didn't offer a bulk 1000 for sale, I had to buy 20 boxes of 50).  $9.99 for FedEx shipping....even though I selected "3-7" business days at checkout.  It tracked on a truck the same day I ordered it and here we are 3 business days later and I should have it today.     In comparison, I usually use SGAmmo who is $219 for 1000 of the same but charges about $13 for shipping....so that's basically a wash between the 2 companies.  Defender had some .38 special and .357 magnums that I ordered too and that stuff was cheaper than SGAmmo, so that put Defender ahead.  Plus, Defender had everything that I wanted in stock, whereas SGAmmo seems to always be out of stock of what I want.   I also use Bulkammo but they currently have the same S&B for $18 a box which would come to $360 for 1000  (they don't have any cases right now...but a case of 115 grain they do have and that's $234) and BA is like $16 for shipping if I remember right.

 

So just sitting bored at work and thought I'd update the post.  So far Defender Outdoors is pretty damn good.....like I said, when I get home from work my box should be there and I'll see how the packaging is and report back.
