I think i hate you *grumbles*
9.99 for four tins was the best pellet deal ever. I went back and it had gone up to 19.99. But the 4 pack was gone last time I looked.

Pellets from Amazon will almost be guaranteed to be damaged. Pyramyd is a good source but have become kinda spendy even though you get one free when you order 4. I suggest you order from Trenier AIrguns. Jeff packs them well, ships fast, and his prices are great! For .177 cal, I like JSB or FX pellets. I don't know what kind of rifle you are shooting, so you should pick the right weight. For .22, the same applies. JSB 18.1 gr seems to be the gold standard. AEA pellets are becoming very popular due to their accuracy and very clean appearance. I use them for my .30 cal 100 yd shooting.

I can't help you with cheap and accurate. But if I had to bet on getting accuracy without testing, I would get the 10.3 in .177, and the 18.1 in .22, with both coming from either AA or JSB. There have been other private label brands that came from JSB, and they are usually good too.

As Im sure others have stressed, never ever order pellets from Amazon.
Trenier, TPS, AGD & PA are all better options.
Amazon fulfills PA orders, but you won't get the benefit of buy 3 get 1 free, which is the way to go if buying a variety
Also some of the above offer free shipping options if you make a big enough purchase

I mostly use jsb pellets in my 22 and 30 caliber guns because they just work. The 18 gr jsb 22 pellets shoot the same poi as the 25 gr @ 50 feet in my RAW. And the 30 caliber pellets in 44 gr perform excellent in both my air rifles.
As others have stated Amazon is not the place I order anymore. I stick with pyramid or Utah.

Utah air guns in my opinion has the best packaging for safe delivery. I would rather pay a few more dollars and know they are not going to be dented and damaged on arrival.

Trenier actually has superb packaging, individually wrapped and enveloped.
Prices are good as well as shipping costs. Tax?

I sent an email to Midway today about this... as a "courtesy call" or "heads-up." They responded asking me about the damage to my pellets. I replied that I got lucky with no damage but that perhaps they simply don't know about the "special" status and needs for shipping pellets safely. I replied with a detailed explanation (and photos). We'll see if they respond favorably to my suggestion as a "long time big fan and customer."

I recently ordered some H&N Precision 22cal 33gr .218 slugs from Hatsan. I also ordered the same slugs from Pyramid about six weeks ago and Pyramid says that they haven't gotten their shipment in yet, but Hatsan sent me an email the day after placing the order saying that my slugs are on their way. Why did Hatsan have the product I wanted, but Pyramid cant get them for themselves? One note, the price of the slugs jumped after I ordered them from Pyramid. Were your pellets in good shape when you got them from Hatsan?H&N Barracuda Match

Hatsan is the US rep for H&N
My last order was for Apolo .30 Air Boss pellets (20% off and free shipping). Wrapped tightly in bubble wrap, no damage.

I did not know that H&N and Hatsan were hooked up with one another. Thanks for the info. Do you know if any other retailers of airgun ammo are having problems getting product? What exactly does being the rep mean? Does Hatsan import all H&N ammo into the US and distribute the products to the retailers? I am not very business savvy, so I am not certain how it all breaks down.

They are the distributor.
HatsanUSA To Distribute H&N Pellets in the US.
HatsanUSA Inc. announced its retail channel distribution partnership with premier airgun pellet manufacturer H&N to distribute H&N pellets into the US.

Hmmm....one might think that Hatsan would have the best prices if they are the distributor for the entire USA. They may get a better break on the pricing?
Although H&N might be like Leupold and make ALL sellers use their list prices to make things 'even'.
That article was written back in 2014, I wonder if they are still the distributor for the USA?

You summoned me, master? 
Hatsan USA and Air Venturi (the wholesale division of Pyramyd Air) are our two distributors in the USA.
Deliveries to these two companies are completely independent of each other. Therefore, one company may have a product in stock while the other currently not.
In addition, pellets and slug production is unfortunately quite difficult at the moment because we are short-staffed. It's extremely difficult to find someone suitable. We are not the exception though; staff shortages are currently a widespread problem in our country.
Is anyone interested in a position as a machine operator at a company in rural Germany?

NEVER ORDER FROM AMAZON . WORD TO THE WISE.Accurate and inexpensive is a tough combination. Most of the low priced pellets I've purchased over the years have been disappointing but there are occasional lottery wins that keep me playing the low odds game.
Lately, the best value I've found are the Norma heavies in both calibers (9.1gr and 17.6gr). Granted, not as good as some of the more expensive brands but far better than Crosman.

A word of caution on ordering pellets from Amazon...a lot of people have reported a high rate of shipping damage. My experience was similar. Here are the JSBs they sent me.

They graciously sent replacements...which also arrived damaged. Pellets that are shipped in carded packaging tend to fare better.
