I ordered some Crossman Hollow Points from Amazon. They looked good when I received them, packaged well. Went to Walmart and found them $5 cheaper. Don't have big selection but usually have Crossman and Gamo pellets.

Pellets from Amazon

Maybe I have just had a particularly bad run of luck on things, but my experiences have been consistent over the last decade so I assumed everyone else was likely falling subject to the same poor handling of their pellet orders as well. Glad to hear not everyone is getting shafted like I've grown to expect on such transactions involving Amazon as the party handling shipment.

Unfortunately, where I live the selection is Dismal! LOL At the Wally World here they have almost no .22 cal at all, and at Farm&Fleet I can get Daisy or the Crossman HP. Even the only Gun store carries nothing for pellet Guns.

I've had two H&N dealers over the past 2-3 years tell me that an obscene number of H&N's tins arrive to them dented. This seems to be endemic of H&N, and they really need to figure it out.

I am sorry but I cannot relate why it must be our fault when tins arrive at the dealer dented. They leave our factory in good condition. Our tins are relatively stable anyway because they have a screw-on lid.

That's the wrong attitude to have for trying to determine why they're getting damaged and how to correct the problem. Dealers shouldn't have to eat that cost.

I think the packaging shown in #27 helps. Seems to work better in the slightly padded envelope Amazon uses. My other theory is that keeping the weight down helps. Single tins, no multiples where the envelope weighs more and may slam into things in transit harder. But still it is a bit of a gamble to order pellets from Amazon. One of my recent shipments was bubble wrapped inside the envelope. Might have been the Midway fulfilled order for FTs. That is better.

FWIW I gave up ordering pellets from amazon... about 75% of them come damaged during shipping. So far Pyramid air and The Pellet Shop have both done some amazing work packing ammo in foam & cardboard so the ammo shows up in about a good shape as you can get without ordering a pallet.
