Placed an order with Cheaper Than Dirt today for some .22 ammo, not a great price but not bad for these days, came out to just over $50 for 4 boxes of 50.

 

When I placed the order the it was shown as in stock. Placed the order and immediately received 2 emails, first one was an order confirmation, the second was a backorder cancellation.

 

Is this normal business practice these days?

 

Here is their cancellation email-

(Backorder Cancelled)

#1 dear god your paying that for .22?

 

#2 they take your money and hold it on orders they can't fill?

.25 a round for .22??? Cancel that order. Does not sound like CCI mini ...so that is waaay high. The highest I have seen is about .8 a round for the standard stuff. Once again not CCI.

Believe it or not that was the best price I could find (recently) for .22!

They actually cancelled it for me...

Another dirty trick by CTD,

I'm not going to say CTD does this because I won't buy from them. But it is common for scumbag retailers to cancel backorders when new stock arrives because they don't want to honor the old price they had you waiting on. In other words, douchebaggery.

I've had something simillar happening with Cabella's:

Item shows in stock

Placed the order and went trough

Got an email confirming the order

Got an email saying the item was on back order and would ship when avalable.

 

Differences:

Cabella's does not charge the CC until items ship

They gave me option of either wait for the items to arrive or cancel. They would honor the price quoted.

Shit for .25 a round I'd sell mine.

 

 

Here is a little side track info on why the .22 ammo is gone. Basically it's a direct result of the shortage of 5.56/.223. Guys have been buying the .22 ar's so they can still shoot and when you add all those guys on top of the existing .22 shooters then bam. No more ammo.

Right now I don't know if this was fraudulent or just unprofessional.

Makes sense, coupled with many new shooters and everyone else loking for ammo...

Borderline fraudulent intent.......and definitely unprofessional..........

Stay away from these idiots even when things are good.....

 

 

Here is free ammo for you as well.......

Thank you very much for the lead, much appreciated. I am not that desparate yet and I have no problem paying even slight premium as long as everyone has their cards on the table.

 

Again- thank you

They are at the top of my list for companies NOT to spend money with.

 

.25 for .22lr is insane. I bought a box of 550 rounds of federal 40 grain .22lr just six months ago for 19 bucks. And that was three bucks higher than I usually spent a year ago.

Thanks, and if you find any near that price please let me know, I would by a box or 3

I post every deal I find (after I place my order) right away! I WILL let you know!

 

Unfortunately, we aren't going to see those prices until shelves are fully stocked and store rooms are full of inventory again.

Check Dicks religiously. Check with Paul at Colddeadhands.com. 1 box limit but it's normally the bulk packs.

Im afraid you wont find any at that price until 2014.

 

This is the best price and info recently thanks to ogfarmer.

Sorry, but LOL for paying $50 for 200 rds of .22LR. CTD sucks. At everything. Especially prices.

Believe it or not that was the best price I could find (recently) for .22!

 

You forgot the shipping charges of about $15 if I'm not mistaken so that $65 for 200 rounds? Damn.... That better be some cci I hope or some tactical 22's?

 

I would love to do business with you, I can rip you off if you are really that desperate.

Shipping charges were included in the total.

Same one you wanted

Or put a wtb add and offer up some $$$$ I'm sure somebody will sell you a brick for $50

CTD....ignore them, and they'll go away.

CANCEL THAT ORDER

Holy crap. Dont pay that.

Thenks everyone- the order is cancelled

First of all, CTD is out of business as far as I'm concerened. But, that ammo is match grade 22, so the price wasn't that bad. Some of the offerings from Lapua sell for over $20 for a box of 50. This stuff is for serious bullseye shooters with bolt acton rifles not for plinking.

The fact that they charged you and are holding your money for 2-3 days is b.s. They are making money off your money. They are getting interest on what you put in their account. Now, I get that it's not a lot of money from you, particularly. But, multiply it by the bunches of folks doing the same thing and it adds up. It's crap. I would call your CC company and tell them to strip the money from CTD's account. Like, now.

 

Just my dos centavos.

 

C

 

Oh, yeah. I almost forgot. Don't buy from them.

CTD can kiss my @$$. After the crap they pulled back in Dec/Jan (halting all gun sales), I won't buy from them ever.

 

Check Dicks religiously. Check with Paul at Colddeadhands.com. 1 box limit but it's normally the bulk packs.

 

Dick's pulled all their AR's as well, so I put them in the same category as CTD.

 

And Paul was completely out of .22 as well. Has been for awhile, though it doesn't hurt to check with him now and then.

if someone has no ammo I'd encourage them to get it from any place that has it available. I know Paul had it in about 2 weeks ago. I'll always recommend Paul but without turning this into a boycott thread (again) I'd say try dicks. I've been able to get a box of 22 once a week and some 5.56/.223. I'd like to hope that people without ammo wouldn't suffer due to foolish pride.
