Amazon Prime for Ammo

[Cleck]

Shit, for $100/yr I may be in. Getting a freebie based on my buying history? Score!

Let me know when this actually launches. I mean like tag me, because I'm definitely intrigued by this.

Well, if I remember correctly, they had it on the Website like it's an actual item you can add to your cart and purchase, but then it just adds you to a wait list. Last I checked it was still like that (looks like it's ready to buy), but I haven't heard anything from them so I'm assuming "purchasing" it will still just end up being added to the list.

I signed up for it on a whim. The discounts are pretty nice, the free shipping for everything/anything is great. Just got a case of 5.56 at a nice discount, and when my pistol permit comes in, I plan on trying out a bunch of different 9mm brands, so that alone will make it worth it to me.

Seems like the more expensive the ammo, the deeper the discount though. So for cheaper ammo, its only a couple of cents per round, nothing ridiculous. But it does discount on top of sale prices, so that's when it will make a bigger difference.

Nope its live. When you buy the prime membership, it gives you access to a different website with different prices.

So it is up and running?

We can. There is no FTF database for BG checks and there was also an MOU stating it is not in effect. So, for now it's all about the retailers willingness to understand the law instead of fear it. There are threads here discussing the whole topic ad nauseam. You are very fortunate to be based in WY, I'll say.

Ammozon Prime ehhh???

 

[Exonautic]

Be more specific, give me a brand and caliber, and I'll post it

War Department has an account with Amazon Prime already. Question I fired off to them is can I sign up for Target Sports USA using the pre-existing account? And not have to pay for it? Doesn't seem to be any way to add this to the account I already have. Click the join at T.S. and there is no way to link an account. Me thinks they are looking for a few more duckets to join up! I'll post any info they may send me...

Any brand. Cheapest brass cased ammo in 9mm and 45 ACP. Right now they have about 10 different manufacturers of 9mm at about $.20 per round and 2 brands of 45 ACP at $.26.

All the .20 cent 9mm are .18

and the .26 .45ACP is .24 cents

Well almost got a straight answer. Target Sports will adjust my previous purchase to reflect Amazon Prime pricing. Just what that entails has left to be seen. I would expect the shipping charges will be refunded don't think there will be any savings on the ammo. That being the case and if all goes in my favor, I'll order more.

 

[Blimey]

I'm failing to understand, after reading the perks about it, how it is a good deal for Targetsport. They take the risk since they guarantee the savings, and for high volume people if you're truly buying at their cost but they are also paying shipping it means on each order they are losing money.

 

[BlackDragon]

I highly doubt it's at their "cost." More like just a wholesale discount.

Like buying a part for your car at the mechanics price.

 

[m1a_scoutguy]

I guess I don't see the reason to wonder what they are paying for there ammo and there "cost" ! They buy probably MILLIONS of rds of ammo at nowhere near a price we can even fathom !! I don't buy ammo I reload, I say if it looks good and works for you guys,,jump on board and buy as much cheap ammo as you can get ! Buy it cheap stack it deep ! Sounds good to me !

Confused. Is this really related to Amazon?

I was going to ask the same thing.

 

[Eddie Gunks]

'You will be able to buy ammo at our cost all year long '

They want to go out of business?

it wont be at "cost" maybe someone's cost, but not their cost.

It has nothing to do with Amazon.
