Comment: Ammo will be corroded. Only about 1/3 or mine was moderately corroded. The rest appeared to be light to no corrosion. Planning on taking off the heaver corrosion with some fine steel wool. This will make some good range ammo.

Comment: "***Ammo may be slightly corroded***"

Comment: These people's requirements are ridiculous. I provided a scanned copy of DL, and a signed affidavit of age, etc. I wait for 3 weeks...I get an email saying that since my ship to address is different from my license, I need to provide a current utility bill in my name for the ship to address. I scan and email this to them. They send back a thank you. I wait another week. I call them back and ask where my shipment is. They tell me that I now need to provide them with proof of this ship to address and that it is my residence for the past 90 days. I ask when they were planning to tell me this. Anyhow, I told them to cancel my order and that after 5 weeks of waiting this was ridiculous. Buyer beware. My card was charged 3 weeks ago. Now I have to wait until Friday to have charges credited back.

Comment: From another flag--"Ordered 5 cases, ALL were water damaged! Buyer beware!!!!! "

Comment: From a flag: Warning: I ordered over 5 weeks ago and have heard nothing, all calls met with negative results. their shipping is higher than normal and now their website says ammo "may" be corroded(read is). If you speak spanish you might do better than me. just a heads up!

Comment: took one month from time of order to receive but it's here. No email of shipping notification. might order more.

Slow shipping. You must request for a tracking number to get one, even then maybe not. Prices seem to be fair.

Ordered a rifle from them, took them over a month to ship it.

My experience was quite different from some of the prior negative comments. An order for ammo was my first experience with SAMCO. I had no problems at all. The Swiss ammo was as advertised. Time from order to my doorstep UPS ground was 7 days, including a day delay for them to process my ID documentation since I was a new customer. Customer service contact for that part was very good. Minor things they could improve is that shipping is not quoted at time of purchase online and there is no email shipping confirmation. The shipping charge for my order was consistent with that shown on gun-deals.com, and comparable to other merchants. I would not hesitate to use SAMCO again.

It's simple: If you have money laying around, and don't mind waiting up to a MONTH to get your gear/ammo then this is your place, because the prices are reasonable. BUT they do take forever, and customer service is horrible, so...

Update: After sending an email explaining my situation and disappointment, they offered to pay for shipping back to them and give me a FULL refund! That's good service. Unfortunately, thinking I was stuck with the ammo, I put it on stripper clips. I did ask for a discount, though, so we'll see how that goes. Still slow getting the order to the house, but they are willing to take a loss on shipping to make a customer happy!

Extremely slow communication (even considering recent ammo sales and backlog)! They do not list shipping prices anywhere and it ended up being quite a bit more than the estimate here. I told them to cancel my order and several weeks later, it showed up at my door. I received no email, call or anything! Be careful with this company! Prices are better elsewhere anyway (if you're patient).

Super Buy Very slow shipping over 4 weeks

good prices, very slow ship, deviveries require 21 yo old signature even though I went out of my way to provide scans of all my legal documents. I am not home during the day to sign for deliveries which means I must take 1 hour out of my day and drive to UPS. VERY ANNOYING. WILL NOT BUY AGAIN.

Be careful of your dealings with this company. I purchased and paid for 1,000 rounds of British manufacture .303. I recieved only 952 rounds of ammo, 99 of which were Pakistani (this was before the price was the same). Of course this was somehow my fault. After about the 10th telephone call we finally settled on a partial refund that was satifactory to both of us. It only took six more calls and three more weeks to get it. Also, shipping is incredibly slow and tracking numbers scarce. Buyer beware.

Very easy to order ammo and accessories. Good prices, fair shipping, arrived in a reasonable amount of time.

Not the fastest but they were the cheapest and everything arrived very well packed. Tracking no. will be provided if asked for.

Arrived in 1 week, UPS, no tracking # supplied. From FL to my MI location not too bad. Virgin Yugo crated ammo, YUM.
