I ordered one of those as well...backordered until April. However, I got a notice in the mail from them today telling me the item was backordered, but the price they had listed and charged to my CC was $215! I'm going to wait to see if the ammo ships and then call in for a correction for the $149 price. My invoice that was e-mailed to me shows the $149 price - $10 coupon and $15 shipping.

Those jerks did the same thing to me. I called them last night and got it straightened out! They were somewhat hesitant about it, and I think they were trying to come up with an excuse, but they gave in.

I'm debating if I want to call and risk cancellation or wait until they ship...

I don't think they will cancel on you, they didn't me. They just seemed reluctant to fess up to what was an apparent mistake on their end. I understand your concern. Either way, just make sure and hang onto the confirmation email that has the correct price.

NP I'm in!

Walmart/Minot ND. - prices w/tax

Winchester (White Box)
100rnds 9mm 115grn FMJ - $19.71 Now - $16.82 last week
100rnds 380Auto 95grn FMJ - $31.34 Now - $27.47 last week

All I can say is - CRAP!

Next time I go I'll get prices without tax. I'm looking at my AMT bank statements to get these numbers.

Thanks, I will call tomorrow. On another note, it looks like my 2 cases shipped today...so much for being back ordered 2 months!

Wow, what jerks! I decided to go ahead and call tonight to inform them of their mistake. The CSR told me that the $149 price was a mistake and she would have to charge me the $215 price. Funny how that $149 price has been on their website for a bit of time. I asked if this had anything to do w/ the ammo price increase and she said no, it was just a catalog error, which makes no sense since it was an e-mail special. Anyways, I told her my "friend" had the same issue and was able to keep the $149 price. I then asked what they planned on doing since the item had already shipped and she said they would just charge me the full amount. Um, I don't think so ma'am...So then she offered to send me a return label to ship them back (seems like a lot of lost $ to me in shipping costs). Anyways, I asked to speak to her supervisor and she put me on hold for 5 minutes and came back to tell me that she had found another memo (surprise, surprise) that said if the item had already shipped, to go ahead and give it to me for the $149 price. Anyways, she claims to have refunded $134 to my credit card, so I will wait and see. Not sure after this if I will purchase from them in the future, this was my first transaction from Sportsman's Guide. In the end, $310 to my door for 2000 rounds of 9mm. Seems pretty good to me, considering the WWB price increase!

Glad it got straightened out!

Bought some ammo tonight over at the local gun store.

100-Magtech .380 LRN $25.98
100-Magtech .38 Spl. SWC $23.98
100-Mastercast .45 ACP LRN $23.98
100-Wolf .223 55 gr. FMJ $28.99

Gonna see if the Wolf will feed in my RRA AR-15 20" Varminter. And I had to get some non-jacketed all lead rounds for the indoor range of my new gun club.
