All the pellets I've purchased over the years have been packed in a good size box with sufficient padding to prevent damage. My Talon Tunes order arrived today in a small flat rate box which looked fine from the outside but the contents were damaged. Yes, the damage was the fault of the post office but I recommend avoiding Talon Tunes pellets until they figure out how to package them.

Yeah I kinda get the feeling that he doesn't care for "just" pellet orders. Mine came in a flat rate box with just a little paper wadded around three sides leaving one side to the destroyers at usps. Surprisingly only slightly dented two of the 4 tins. But yeah, very little effort in packing

That's a bummer but in this pellet drought I'd take whatever I could get lol
We all have a bunch of those square foam pellet shipping donuts sitting around.
Maybe we should ship them to Tony as a hint

My Prophet Performance came in a broken, not just cracked, but with part of a corner missing, case from Tony. The external shipping box was in great shape !
He just doesn't seem to care once he gets your money. E-mail's, phone calls, no answer to any communication.

Not calling bs on anyone. But I’ve dealt with talon tunes many time and I do mean many , I’ve never had any issues with packages from him. Tony’s always been good ! That’s my personal experience.

After ordering the taipan cheekrest from him, finding it doesn't even come close to the advertised fit on a mutant, and then being told to pay $12 to ship it back for a refund, I won't be dealing with Tony again. Which is sad, because I bought the mutant from him several years ago, and it was a great transaction.
But to ship pellets like that in today's climate and market? Sinful.

It seems all the people who have done business with him in the past, can’t say anything bad about him. However, those who have dealt with him recently seem to be saying the same bad things about his service and shipping. I would bet that it’s a new thing to have these problems with him, and it seems to be. Dry similar to other places in the airgun world also.
these days I stick with a place that I can call, and that pick up the phone to help in any way possible. Those are the businesses I buy from now, and will continue to give my business to.

I’ve purchased a pcp rifle from Tony recently and the transaction went very smoothly and the rifle and all packaging arrived perfectly. Very happy with my interaction with Tony would deal with him again.

got a load from him a few weeks back, he had each tin wrapped very securely in padded envlopes then all tight together.

Well this is the first time I've ever had a damaged pellet delivery so I was interested in what the fallout would be. I sort and weigh my pellets and set aside any with flat spot on the skirt. After sorting I weighed both piles and they were almost exactly the same weight. I never would of thought poor packaging could lead to a 50% loss. Heart braking especially when there is a pellet shortage going on.

I just received an order from him as well that were packed just as you described.
I've never had a problem with anything I have ordered from Tony, and I have never bought anything other than parts or pellets, not a whole gun.

Just got a order of pellets in from Tony on Saturday. Four tins of 33.95’s and they were in a large box with packing peanuts and each tin was individually wrapped in paper and taped. No damage whatsoever. The only bad thing I can say is, $23.95 is price gouging but I’m running low so felt like I had to have them. Also bought my .25cal Maverick from him and it was securely packed and arrived in good condition.

I bought 4 of the same, packaged the same.
However, 3 of my tins were previously opened, and also dented. I managed to receive 1 full, unopened and undamaged tin for $108. This is complete bullpoop.

I've put in a couple orders with Tony recently. And I need to put in another. I've got nothing bad to say about those transactions. Shipping took a little while with the first one, but that's expected these days. However, I was a little nervous the first time as I'd heard mixed reviews about his customer service.
