Comment: I did not have any issues with shipping or validation of my ID or address. The ammo arrived promptly. Like other buyers, mine was corroded too. I think a better word might be tarnished. It was nothing that should hinder chambering the round. I bought this ammo to run through my new Rock River Arms LAR-8. About every 6 to 8 rounds my gun would jam. The last jam I had one case became stuck in the chamber and had to be tapped out with a steel rod through the barrel. The rounds appear to not be ejecting properly. Two experts that I have spoken to about this problem, (one that has fired the rifle with this ammo) believe it is a lack of pressure from underpowered ammo. As of now, I bought 2000 rounds of this ammo and I will not put another round through my LAR-8 until I resolve this issue. I will update when I learn more.

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: 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!!!!! "

Date: 4/10/2009 | Name: brad

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!

Ordered this May 27th and received it July 3rd. Well over a month to get it. This rifle by far is the worse rifle I ever received from Samco. If this Mauser is a "Special Select Condition" I would really HATE to see what a "Very Good Condition" Mauser they have to offer looks like! I've wrote them about my disappointment, no response from them at all. I wouldn't do business with them anymore after the way I've been treated on this purchase. I thought they were a reputable company......

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

Date: 11/30/2009
Ordered a rifle from them, took them over a month to ship it.

Date: 10/05/2009
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...

Date: 3/24/2009
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!

Date: 3/20/2009
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

Date: 3/14/2009
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.

Date: 1/29/2009
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.

Date: 10/06/2008
Not the fastest but they were the cheapest and everything arrived very well packed. Tracking no. will be provided if asked for.

Date: 7/18/2008
Arrived in 1 week, UPS, no tracking # supplied. From FL to my MI location not too bad. Virgin Yugo crated ammo, YUM.
