Question Best Sites to Buy Ammo Online

[.dC0m]

Welp, Trueshot is out of the running for me now. After many years of problem-free ordres, they no longer ship to addresses in SF. Bummer, because otherwise their prices are good and they're quite speedy. It's back to Targetsports for me I guess

Wow, I can't believe Trueshot actually knows/follows SF laws... most don't...

Good to know.

I like to look at ammoseek for the cheapest prices then just call and ask if they will ship to my ffl in colton ca. Blue collar firearms only charges 1$ for transfer. They just make sure you paid the taxes and if you did not they will charge you the tax or something like that. I bought all my ammo before the tax so i havent crossed that bridge yet for taxes. Also Bid fast and Last in Hesperia ca lets you ship to them and charge 5$ for processing the background check. Both are outstanding ffl's in my opinion.

Yeah, don't know what happened. Here was their response when I asked about it:

This is not a new restriction—San Francisco has had a city ordinance in place that limits ammunition shipments within city limits. While we have been able to fulfill your past orders, it appears that one or more of those may have been shipped in error, and we sincerely apologize for any confusion that may have caused.

Under current municipal law, we are unable to ship ammunition directly to any San Francisco address, even if the customer holds a valid FFL 03 and California COE. However, we can absolutely ship your order to a licensed FFL outside of San Francisco, such as one located in Daly City, South San Francisco, or surrounding areas.

That sounds like a perfectly reasonable response and one that they're willing to go put in extra work finding places that they're able to lawfully ship to nearby. I wouldn't cut them out for that at all.

Are some cities worried about porch pirates, that they don't allow ammo deliveries to home addresses?

I've had way too many instances where carriers (mostly UPS, but some others as well) don't bother to get a signature, even when it's been paid for, and even when it's required by law, and just leave crap on the doorstep.

It used to buy a couple of cases of shotshells from Roger’s Sporting Goods.

The good old days of ordering it and having the nosy UPS driver ask why I had so much ammo being delivered. He probably hated 2014.

Lead fishing weights!
I use TSUSA and Rogers, I have my FFL-03 and COE, and Ammo+ membership at TSUSA, totally worth it.

 

[Jimi Jah]

Are lead fishing weights still legal in California?

I would have thought Excremento would have banned them by now.

TSUSA & Ammo+ has been totally worth it, even without an FFL-03/COE; Even with sales & excise tax & the FFL's fees, it's still cheaper than retail!

Ima start the paperwork on getting my own.

 

[Khellen27]

I use velocity and TSUSA . Best 2 for online purchases with ffl03+coe

 

[recpark99]

When I order from TSUSA, I pay a little extra for discreet packaging, my UPS driver thinks I'm an avid offshore fisherman

It depends on the city, but LA, SF, Oakland, Avalon and possibly others have various laws prohibiting taking delivery of ammunition or firearms (like C&R long guns) without a city-issued permit subject to insurance, zoning, and other restrictions. Some cities (e.g. LA) require face-to-face transactions and data reporting for ammo purchases/transfers - hence there are no FFL01/07 dealers in the city of LA. FFL03/COE is not an exemption. Hopefully that makes sense...

I haven't bought ammo since the ffl stuff happened. How much do ffl stores normally charge to get it shipped to them?

Discreet packaging is free.

Before ffl03 COE, my closest FFL was charging $75 per case which was ridiculously expensive for shotgun shells.

 

[Wolkenflieger]

I have an FFL03 and COE and as someone wrote, it makes buying ammo like living in a free state! I have an Ammo+ membership with Target Sports USA. They usually stock my preferred 9mm and .22 brands.

Can't beat shipping right to your door, and no excise tax or FFL handling fee.

 

[dvekaria]

Velocity Ammo, they have some of the best prices on bulk ammo, shipped to your door

The fee the shop charges is up to them, you'll find some who are priced high and some reasonable.

Those cities are more worried about you having too much freedom.

How much longer do we have to wait in order to buy ammo online legally? I thought we won that case in court.

En Banc appeal has been requested by the state (no surprise)... 3-judge panel order is stayed for now. So we wait, and wait, and ...
