Amazon Prime for Ammo

[SigSweet]

Well not by Amazon but the same idea

Not sure if any of you noticed but thought I would give you a heads up, TargetSports will be offering a program similar to Amazon prime where you pay a yearly subscription, you can sign up for email notice when the program is going to start up and they release what they yearly cost is.

Here are what they list

• Buy ammunition at wholesale level...You will be able to buy ammo at our cost all year long and save
• 
  
• Exclusive ammo deals...Members only email notifications on a monthly basis for members only
• 
  
• Mystery ammo box...Once a year we will send you a Mystery Ammo Box with hard to get ammunition based on your buying history
• 
  
• One low annual fee... We guarantee that you will save more then our low annual membership fee, or your money back. You can't lose

Pretty cool, if it is reasonable as in around $100 or less I will probably try it out for a year. I usually do not buy factory rounds but we'll see what happens

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

They want to go out of business?

 

[Phauxtoe]

They didn't say all their ammo was at cost! Or what shipping will be!

If it's too good to be true...

 

[SigSweet]

Yea I hear you guys

I am waiting to find out what the yearly fee is.

I could honestly care less about free hard to get ammo, i would just want to be able to buy less then a case so i can test out carry rounds or different bullet weights and avoid $12 shipping with each order.
If it was $100/year no freebies, just free shipping no minimal order I would do it.
Would be a plus for discounts on Hazmat or maybe if reloading supplies get scarce again prime members get first looks on incoming inventory or something like that too.

Thanks for posting this. Link at tsusa please?

Just found this with a google search price is $95, might try it out

Target Sports USA Ammo Prime Membership

 

[SigSweet]

Just called, it will be released later this week

Lady on the phone was awesome, program sounds legit, they even canceled my order which was all ready packed and are holding it for me to apply the discount and get free shipping when prime becomes available

 

[S&W Fan]

Interesting idea. I buy from them often

 

[NYGuns]

Thanks for posting this, definitely interesting. I will check it out

 

[Bananabandit]

Well Prime has free shipping. Will that not be part of it?

 

[SigSweet]

I was told on the phone all ammo orders would ship free under the prime membership

 

[C3D]

I don't understand. All ammo orders shipped free already if case size. What's the upside?

 

[Bananabandit]

Damn...too bad I need to get rid of amko

 

[Exonautic]

People like me who cant afford to buy a case at a time.

 

[togmaster]

Sounds like a great deal. If anyone wants to split a membership let me know.

For me personally I like to try different ammo, esp for my rifles
This will give me a chance to buy say
1 box of 35 Rem
1 box of 223 match
2 boxes of new carry ammo for my 9
Maybe some CCI stingers
and save $12 on shipping + tax + FUAC + the fact no stores within 2 hours of me carry the ammo I like & def cannot beat prices before the discount while not having to lay out the cash 4k rounds of ammo and what the fedex guy struggle to my door

I personally like buying by the case but the flexibility and savings over advertised pricing seems like a no brainer to me for a $95 premium.

With prices going down, this might be the time to stock up on rounds you usually dont shot or are now being available.

 

[MikeyCNY]

That's pretty cool... I'm good on ammo for a while (until I start using it anyway), but will have to keep that in mind. Not a fan of the many typos on the page but they'll get fixed.

I also wonder if Amazon trademarked 'Prime'..

 

[twax100]

Sweet! I'm in for this. I buy from them regularly so I'm sure it'll save me money.

That makes sense but I might suggest local shops too, at Davis last weekend during their sale it was a smorgasbord of reasonably priced ammo and I bought 10 varieties.

 

[Podmonkey]

I might look intonthis but then again they don't seem to carry the stuff I like best. I do buy most of my .22 from them though.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

I may do this also. I just bought 1000 rounds of .22, lol. I feel like ammo buying has become fetish unto its own, haha!

 

[ArmedCorgi]

annnnnd I just joined the wait list for it. I mean, fuck me right?

No thank you. But don't take it personally, we barely know each other yet.

Commmaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhnn...

 

[ArmedCorgi]

Anyone heard any more about this? I joined the wait list back in March. I haven't heard anything from TS.

 

[togmaster]

I looked at their web site yesterday. No updates there.

 

[Exonautic]

Wasn't it supposed to be like a week after this thread was created?

 

[Acer-m14]

anyone know if this includes reloading stuff too or just loaded stuff ??? ... i'm a night owl and sleeping during there open hours ..

 

[SigSweet]

Its just loaded stuff, last i heard they were having some IT issues and put things on hold until they could properly launch the program. I'll give them a call sometime next week as customer service is always really friendly and helpful there.

95$ a year..
Split .28 cents a day?? Oh lord you cheap ass bastard. I drop more than that a day in change and keep walking
