Just to let you know that twice I have ordered ammo from Target Sports that they show in stock and when I checked today I found out that IN STOCK does not really mean they have it in stock. Seems that if they are expecting ammo in a month or so, they will show it as in stock. They are upfront in letting customers know it will take 20 days or so to process the order and another few weeks to ship but they were showing that they were processing orders well past the date of mine and when I called I found out that they did not process mine. The reason given was that they were having a hard time getting the ammo. So in short, they are taking orders for ammo they do not have in stock and posting the reason for the delays as high volume when in fact, it is because they are having a hard time getting the ammo.

 

I told them that it was deceptive to advertise items as "in stock" when it was not in stock and further to blame processing and shipping time for tghe dealy when the real reason was that they needed the time to try to get the ammo from the manufacturers. Just a heads up. Others are still shipping next or even same day or maybe with a few day's delay. I never liked Sportsman's Guide, who owns Target Sports or vice versa, ever since they refused to ship NJ Legal 12 round mags to me when I lived in NJ.

 

This was their official written reply. Keep in mind they showed this as in Stock for many days and would not have emailed me if I did not call them. I could have just waited for the almost two month time frame they gave me and then find out it was not available. Luckily I found the ammo in stock elsewhere and it is shipping tomorrow.

They had reviews like this even pre panic. Its a CT based company?

I don't think your gonna see too much love for Target Sports on this site.

 

I have not had any issues in the past, but I have read a lot of folks on this site have.

I've ordered a lot from them. They may be slow, but their prices are fair. They never charge your card until they ship.

I stopped using them when Speer Lawman 9mm 115 FMJ went from $10.49 to $13.99 overnight for no other reason then Obama got re-elected. They really went down hill.

I used to use them now i just use whoever is running a good deal. i have never had any issues with them but i know a lot have...
