Never order pellets from Amazon

[Bob_O]

Unless you like to sort and then throw away at least 20% of them. I needed a tin quickly so they were the cheapest and quickest...but what a disappointment upon opening the box to find totally inadequate cushioning/packaging.

Even the tin had a ding in it. Never again.

I ordered a couple of tins from the Zon and they packaged it like it was a fragile and priceless Faberge egg. I think it all depends on which warehouse it comes from and/or the person doing the packaging. I do a lot of shopping on Amazon and the packaging is very inconsistent. Best pellet tin packaging I've seen is from Brian at Edgunwest.

I too ordered pellets from Amazon. Never again. Box had one inflatable pillow thing in it that the pellets crushed and deflated. Lots of other stuff from Amazon comes in fine, but I'll buy pellets from Airgun depot instead. Great packaging.

It's great that places like AD and PA pack them so well. I imagine any damage gets done during the bulk shipping and handling to them.

I ordered a tin of 500 Crossman Premier 14.3 from Amazon a week ago. The whole tin was fine. I think that's more because the skirts of these are pretty substantial compared to something like a JSB 15.89, 18.1 in the .22 I shoot. You can bend the skirts of those just by looking at them.

I buy from Airgun Source here in Canada. Packed amazingly well. No damage whatsoever.

"NL-Law"I buy from Airgun Source here in Canada. Packed amazingly well. No damage whatsoever.

Yeah same they do well in packaging, but they haven't had the 300 tins of 33.95's for 6 months. I was told November they would be getting some, 11.50/150 isn't a good price.


Edit- They do have a bigger selection of pellets in .25 as of lately and added the buy 4 tins get the 5th free so that is definitely a positive.

I 've had good luck threw amazon, although I think AOA or PA was/is the seller. I usually make a big order of all kinds of stuff at the same time. One stop shopping as they say

Yah, never again on Amazon for pellets (although I get a lot of other stuff from Amazon)

The crazy thing was, I buy from PA all the time and get their great packaging and few damaged pellets...
But I bought from Amazon twice and the seller was PA and I got a tin of pellets in an 4 x 8 x 10 box with two air pillows and it had been bounced around so much the tin was bent with a huge flat spot and the majority of pellets were just bent severely and totally unusable, even for 'conditioning pellets'? ! ? ! ? Once I could see but a couple of months later I tried again and got the SAME experience. What was weird was I ordered other items and they came in a different box, well packed.

One of the few returns ever for my Amazon experience.

I find that Midway USA has the same guy packing pellets that Amazon uses. I order a lot from them but they haven't got a clue when it comes to pellets.

P/A not only packs pellets well if you buy 150 worth of stuff its free shipping and buy 3 tins get 1 free so i buy 9 tins 3 free=12 tins and get some cheep targets to make the 150 mark.
