cheaper than dirt

[aeroe]

add LuckyGunner to that gouging list of websites... $90 for remington Thunderbolt 500rd... Thanks but no thanks

Down to $80 last I looked, and still $50 overpriced. That's some of the dirtiest bulk ammo on the market, with a recent recall. Natchez had it for $40. Tempting...

The only place I ordered from during the panic was Midway. Aguila SuperMax, plated round nose, for $.08. Yep, that's actually quite nice these days. I wish I could find another brick.

CTD was taken off my list when they started ammo gouging from the beginning of the shortage. They will never see another dime from me and many others here in INGO. I suggest you try other sources. Sportsman's Guide has free shipping right now.

exactly same here as stated above. after the chaos and they started gouging people on AR mags I vowed never to purchase from them again. i do not care if their prices are better after things settle down or if they are nly only dealer in the country who has 22lr. they will never get a dime of my money. i hope they are seeing a huge impact on their profits from everyone staying away from CTD

CTD Cheaper Than Diamonds.

With all this CTD hate, what are some good alternative websites for ammo?

so what good is saving a bit of money when they charge far to much for shipping? You cannot tell me it costs them $15 plus to ship sabbots that way 1.43 pounds.....

A little known fact is that email/mail-order, TV Gizmos, certain websites make a significant amount of profit from the vaguely-defined "shipping and handling" charge. So - while the actual product itself has little margin, the "other" charges can make you some decent cash.


This is what economists call "negative" profits. Probably Ok for a one-off transaction, but if you want repeat customers - not a good strategy. The airline industry is a good example (except SWA). Baggage fees, seat selection fees, etc. are all negative profits because they PO the consumer. In your case, CTD's shipping charge is not reasonable so you probably won't return.....

LOL, how much we have already forgotten... Scutter actually had a really great line about Cheaper Than Dirt, something about how we flay them for two minutes, then run to them when we need magazines.

Try Ammo to Go or other sites that haven't stabbed us as gun owners in the back with their profiteering on dead children...

Ammo to Go has high shipping costs, too. I prefer to order from Sportsman Guide when they have a free shipping offer. They don't collect sales tax either. Let's me delay paying it until tax time.

As its been stated over and over… I won't buy anything from cheaper than dirt anyways ever again so to answer your question, please just buy elsewhere.

 

[countrylivn01]

I always used to buy from them but they won't get another cent.

As mentioned earlier, Sportsmans Guide has been pretty good with free shipping . Also when you buy something they send a coupon and then catch free or flat rate shipping can be good deal. And they have great customer service if any issues.

I'll buy from Dicks before CTD sees any of my money.

I have used Sportsman's Guide and AmmoMan.com - The Best Source for Gun Ammo with Free Shipping and Target Sports USA | Free Shipping on Bulk Ammo & All Guns

 

[ryknoll3]

Unfortunately, they do have good prices on guns quite often.... and free shipping, on guns.

 

[Godbybe]

I don't buy fro CTD since they gouged during the shortage.

MidwayUSA is quite reasonable on shipping costs. Back in November I got a case of 2+3/4" 12ga, some 3" slug and 00, and 350rds of 45, totaling 48lbs shipped UPS ground to NWI for $22. They are usually cheaper when I have stuff shipped to work, but I don't think I can have ammo delivered to IL.

1000rnds of the cheapest brass cased 223 availble:

Bulkammo:
375$
15$ shipping
390$ total

CTD:
354.50$
24$ shipping
3$ handling fee (who the **** runs that scam anymore?)
381$ total

Midway:
444.50
20$ shipping
pointless

Conclusion:
Bulkammo is more honest in their pricing. They dont run that old ebay game where you sell something for WAY cheaper than everyone else, then jack your shipping up to twice or 3 times the actual price. That seems to be CTD's game plan. ON TOP OF THAT, they pull out that little gem from "as seen on TV" adds, circa 1988, the "handling fee"

That being said, theyre still cheaper.

I still stand by, I will never buy anything from Cheaper than dirt again. It don't matter what the price is they are asking I will not buy from them. They were wrong in their price gouging and there are places to buy from that didn't gouge us.

I know me not buying from them will make no deference in their bottom line. I do feel better about me for not doing it and that is all that matters at the end of the day.

 

[danielson]

Maybe we need a list then, who besides walmart was not gouging?
