Gearhog and USA Ammo Issues

Featured Replies

I took advantage of the Gearhog/USA Ammo offer rather early this morning and proceeded to order $94.00 of new 9mm FMJ as well as their 50% off UPS shipping coupon but was unable to complete the transaction because there was no option for me to pay the balance on shipping which totaled $4.15.

I called and received a prerecorded message that there was a problem generating certificate numbers and there will be a email to each buyer to either confirm a number or explain the snafu.I on the other hand recieved my number, was able to complete the whole order but is stymied as to how to pay the extra $4.15.

Still an excellent deal, $54.15 for 500 new 9mm ammo is a steal in my book. Does anyone have any experiences with ammo from USA?

What kinda ammo is this? I can barely handload ammo for that price.

Hard to beat that price, and yes I do have experience with USAammo, I have used there .380, 9mm and .40 and it's all good stuff. Some say it's less dirty, some say it's a little dirty, not sure what they are rating it against but I clean my guns after every time I shoot and have no real opinion either way. Also I have bought there once fired stuff and new and normally for a buck more I go with the new but have have no problems with any of it.

 

There was only one time that it was noticed that I had some egg shaped holes on cardboard targets at an indoor match, but only that one time, not sure if it was the ammo or maybe not being perpendicular to the trait but it hit where I was aiming, while some of my shots I'd like to blame on the ammo in reality it's me not the ammo :)

 

It's good stuff and for reference I have shot the ammo through the following:

 

.380 - S&W BG380

9mm - Glock 19

.40 - CZ 75 TS

 

I'd really like to see them start selling 30-30 but haven't seen it yet, but there are a few new calibers they have added over the last 6 months so maybe one day.

I just got off the phone with them and apparently the problem was rectified,but somehow the 50% shipping expired while we were on the phone because I was unable to enter the coupon code after refreshing the page and completing the payment option on shipping. So the grand total is now $69.30 for 500 rounds shipped.Still a good deal. They seem to be a bit overwhelmed over there for good reason and if the ammo performs well in my rather temperamental Sig, I will definitely order again.

I took the deal and used the shipping code too. Since I ordered the once fired 9mm, I was able to get 500 rounds shipped without paying any extra.

 

This will be the third time I've ordered from Usa Ammo, and so far I've been pleased with them. I've used their 115gr 9mm and their .223 55 gr, and been happy with both of them. This was the cheapest ammo deal I've ever seen.

I took advantage of this as well. There was an issue with their webpage and I couldn't check out so I called them and the CS rep was super nice and ended up knocking off shipping. So I did pretty well to say the least haha.

OK.... Now I'm pissed, just checked the USA Ammo web page and the 50% off shipping coupon is back. Going to ruin someone's morning tomorrow.

I tried to sign up yesterday, got the e-mail fro GH to confirm. Link didn't work, no code. Oh well......

After checking the status of my 7/22 order and finding that it was still pending, I called customer service to inquire as to the delay. The rep said that they were a bit overwhelmed by the Gear Hog offer that they were now shipping the 7/21 orders and I would be next, also she refunded me half of my shipping because of the original rep's oversight so I'm back to $54.13 for the 500 rounds shipped.

E mail this morning confirming shipment is on the truck.

Yeah mine finally shipped on Thursday. From Idaho it's going to Washington (Further away?) then over cross country. Should arrive friday.

 

mine hasn't shipped yet, and I made the purchase quickly. :(

 

Also, i've noted that since then the Gearhog deals have been kind of disappointing. I was expecting more along the lines of the USA Ammo deal, where it's a gift cert to a particular store with a great savings. It seems like coupons for one specific undesirable or overpriced item or in a specific caliber...which isn't very useful in my opinion.

How long has Gear Hog been in existence? and were there better deals before?

Did anyone get the .308 they ordered yet. I ordered the first day and it still says waiting to ship

Got my 500 rounds of 9mm yesterday, now I can't wait to see if they run through my Sig without issues.

My order arrived yesterday too. I've never had any problems with their 9mm in the past. I'm going to try it out tonight at the range.

Never had issued with there 9mm ammo and I used to get once fired but I have been paying the extra buck a box for new as of late. By the way my 9mm is a Glock 19 and they run just about anything you feed them so that may not be the best reliability test.
