I was on there and watched them drop and still couldn't get them!


Randomly checking and saw the bot buster available...figured primers were coming. Kept refreshing. They dropped. Still couldn't check out. Unbelievable.

 

[KnowNothing256]

How's the bot buster work? I saw it too, do I have to add it to cart to get a check out?

 

[Mauser06]

Yes. They were making you buy a drink coozie in order to check out with primers...bot buster is new to my knowledge..same concept though. Worth keep trying. Last time I saw 450s drop I know guys that logged on AFTER me and got them...I tried for 20mins straight and couldn't get through check out. Frustrating lol.

 

[KnowNothing256]

Gotcha, thanks for the info. Brownells screwed me on 450s a couple weeks ago, got me all the way through checkout then cancelled the order after the fact "because they had no stock." Refused to internally backorder them for me and give me the first cut of the next shipment too. I was mighty pissed, it's not hard to write your website to put a 10-minute hold on a product in my cart so I can get through your stupidly slow checkout site.

ETA: PV will only let you buy one brick anyway, not worth the cost for me.

 

[Mauser06]

It's frustrating for sure.


Now shows 4 available and I still haven't been able to check out. Not sure I care to pay 9 cents a primer yet either. So I'm not too upset lol

 

[Mauser06]

When they first dropped it said limit of 2. That would have eased the shipping a bit and I considered it. But when I went to add 2 it said value must be 1.

I've seen a lot of ammo become available locally recently. Hoping things start turning around.

 

[Graye2]

They are back

 

[KnowNothing256]

Looks like checkout is actually possible now? Doesn't show me the cart error anymore at least

yeah the 1k limit really makes freight and hazmat overwhelm the actual primer price, which is already high to begin with. i guess still a little cheaper than midway at $100/k shipped.

i pd $69/k shipped from pv back in dec and cringed at that. so this was a cringe and a half.
