Yeah, all my past PA orders were packaged well, with the cling wrap and solid pieces of foam, like the photo you mention. Just iin these two most recent orders everything was loose in a far oversized box.

Just write them a polite email (w/pictures) and let them know that the shipping Co. is very rough when handling their packages. Let them know it would be in their best interest to account for this and add a bit more packing fill of some sort.

Just posted this in another thread. Just had my last order arrive in the exact same condition as the OP - right down to the box they used. Box WAY too big for the number of tins ordered. Packing foam was there but tins not secured in foam. Fx hybrid slug packs loose in box. One slug pack opened and spilled out into box. Lost some of the slugs through hole in box. Some minor denting on pellet tins (any denting is not ok. IMO). I order my ammo from Pyramyd because they usually package pellets so carefully but my last two orders both left me unhappy.

You're right AND wrong. UPS can't open your mail. But this package is not sent via USPS and UPS can open any package they want, that's in their system.

I was looking at that.
So i guess if they went left woke police agenda they can just chunk your stuff in a trash grinder and call it too bad so sad... Maybe theres weight to them stories of that ...

This is PA's issue... The shipping manager is responsible for this.. He either doesn't care and didn't know this went out.. The hourly nimrod that packed this also wasn't trained and or doesn't give a flip... I ran a company for years and the stupid's in warehouse just don't care.. Every "picker' or packer should go to a UPS or Fedex facility and watch what a package goes thru and is subjected to..
A few weeks ago I watched a guy moving watermelons from one container in the back of the store to the front of the store.. He would grab a melon and when he would get about 10" above where he was going to place it he would just let it go.. I saw the manger in the back of the store so I videoed this DA and went back to the manager and showed him the video. ( yes, a total Karen move) the manger watched it and I just walked off..

They already have. Haven't you been watching real news? They (UPS) have had employees arrested for stealing guns and the company said they will no longer ship guns or related parts so I wouldn't be to surprised if they destroy them at will.

Whether or not it's being implemented or not I don't truly know, time will tell. https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/ups-refuses-to-ship-gun-parts/ or http://www.wagc.com/ups-decides-to-stop-shipping-firearms-ground-service or https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/u...-requiring-frames-receivers-to-be-serialized/ Just how much will this effect the airgun world, who knows you know how irrational anti-gunners can be.

Very possible but still no excuse because they are representing PyramydAir and this falls on the supervisor's shoulders.

When I saw some .30 cal FX branded 'Hades' (Atomic) pellets in stock for a reasonable price last week, I put through a pellet order with PA having forgotten about this thread.
I received my order today with mixed emotions. Yes, it looks like they have eliminated (at least temporarily?) the taped or wrapped corrugated 'covers' over the foam pellet protectors. Instead they just used some butcher paper stuffing to hold things in place.
For my order, everything was still in place and nothing was damaged. But I feel that this new packing method is more variable, based on the skill and care of the packer. It also seems to be less protective of rough handling during shipment. But for my current order, it looks like I got lucky. Doesn't give the same level of confidence I had in the previous packing method though.

My last order came in foam with cardboard on both ends and taped with the rest of the box filled with foam. Best shipping of pellets.

Does P.A. ship their pellets out of more than one location? Could explain the packing mixed results.

For every order from PA, you will get at least 50 Junk mails. You can't even go to browse their site, without Junk mail being generated. It's intrusive and very frustrating. No other site generates junk email like PA.

I had a batch of pellets show up exactly like that a few months ago. Same long box all loose like that.
I’ve ordered a lot of pellets from PA over the years. That’s the only time it happened. I’ve been pretty pleased with the packaging otherwise.
