Sludog 0 Posted April 22, 2013 I was on my computer reading email's and I received an email from Midway that Tulammo 9mm was in stock. Literally no more than 5 seconds went by and I clicked on the link it it read that they were sold out. I have received other similar emails in the past but I did not see them until hours later so I knew that the stock would be gone by now but 5 seconds, a little ridiculous. What do they get like 10 boxes of ammo in and one person buys it all? Or does it sell out in store and the email is hours late. Has anyone ever been able to buy ammo using this notification system? Maybe this is just a ploy to get people to shop there there website. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damjan 73 Posted April 22, 2013 Its a ploy devised by the digital marketing geniuses. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve_G 51 Posted April 22, 2013 I ran into the same thing with primers. They actually post it as in stock on the website hours before they send the email. I found primers in stock there just randomly checking and received the email the next day. Of course they were gone before I got the email. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howard 538 Posted April 22, 2013 I have gotten e-mail like that from Freedom Munitions and others, and the stuff is always gone. I have even jumped the second alerts pop on gunbot and the stuff is gone by the time I get there. I sure wish I could own a business where the stuff never makes it to the shelves, it just goes from receiving to shipping without ever pausing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krdshrk 3,882 Posted April 22, 2013 It happens - if you're looking for Ammo, use Gunbot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walt of Destiny 412 Posted April 22, 2013 I use email "blasters" to communicate with clients. Several dozen takes a couple of minutes. I imagine that they have 10's of thousands and may take quite a while longer. I wouldn't be surprised that the "A's" bought it all out before they get to the "D's" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonnylee 20 Posted April 25, 2013 I agree, a gimmick to get you on there website At a 5000 limit for primers, how many can they have in stocked? 200k? That's 40 purchases. It goes quick! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJSigfan 219 Posted April 26, 2013 Another thing to remember is back orders, if applicable, need to get filled as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
