Golf battery 1,223 Posted March 24, 2020 So. I went to tanners in pa today to buy primers. Closed. That sucked. So i figured ill check cabelas online. Ordered 6k primers. Free shipping. Great. 20$ hazmat. Whatever. Go to close it out. Says they cant ship to my address. Nj. Ok. So. Ill send it to cabelas in Delaware and pick it up. Nope. Wont let me do that. I called customer service. They said they cant ship primers to nj. Really i said. I can get ammo shipped to me but not primers? Really!! So idont know if its cabelas or nj. But they will not ship primers to nj. So i bought and shipped them to a friend in pa. Im only a few miles from the pa border. So how about that being ridiculous. I remember a few years back we used to do bulk orders with us on the forum to cut down the hazmat fees. Then divide them up with the other forum members. Stupid nj. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njJoniGuy 2,131 Posted March 24, 2020 AFAIK there's nothing in NJ laws or regs that prevent you from having primers (or smokeless powder, for that matter) shipped to you in NJ. I've done multiple purchase from Powder Valley, most boxes up to their (shipping) max of 48 lb of smokeless or 50K primers, or a mix thereof. Sounds like a Cabelas policy. Which really sucks. Does anyone know if Bass Pro (same corporate owners) stocks and sells primers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Golf battery 1,223 Posted March 24, 2020 Yeah. I should of gone midway. I thought maybe guv goofy slipped in another bill behind the scenes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carl_g 568 Posted March 24, 2020 That has been cabelas’ policy for quite a long while. They would ship ammo to NJ but no primers or powder. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tunaman 552 Posted March 24, 2020 Its funny. Primers and powder I have on the way from the Potterfields are now out of stock...I am glad I ordered some extra when i did last week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MartyZ 696 Posted March 24, 2020 For the first time in my life I will defend NJ , But this appears to be an issue with cabelas not the state. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greenday 323 Posted March 25, 2020 It's definitely Cabelas. Brownells has no problem getting me crap tons of primers and powder. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately, I drove past Cabela's in Delaware this afternoon and they are closed. I do know that if you visit their store, when open, they do not ask for ID for any powder, primers or other reloading supplies. I do not want to pay hazmat fees when Cabela's is only a 35 minute drive for me! I also need powder and primers right now. It HAS to be a PRNJ thing!

Golf battery 1,223 Posted March 25, 2020 I have 3k of cci small pistol primers and 3 k of federal small pistol for revolver coming in. I do have enough to reload my bullet head inventory. But just wanna be safe. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Golf battery 1,223 Posted March 25, 2020 Btw. Me and cabelas/bass are gonna have a long talk about this. Midway had a policy of not sending rifle ammo to nj without a fpid card. I had long talks about that with them and they changed their policy. Lemme know if its still the same. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cabelas started this stupidity a few years ago. I don’t get why they won’t ship components but will ship ammo. Dumb at best. However, I rarely blame retailers for caution around ban states it’s easier for them to just say screw it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
