Normally i don't buy loaded ammo but have cause to do so again. Are the retailers that come up on Ammoseek all GTG? I few of them show up that I've never heard of and wanted to make sure they aren't just a listoing online that the ammoseek software pulls. Years ago the ammobot site (forgot the name) had a specific list of suppliers that were all know and legit. Is it the same now?

I would not count on any vetting from a questionable source. This to include Ammoseek.

No, their vendors are not all “GTG”. AmmoSeek & others are merely aggregators . I got scammed last year by an outfit I found there (Mountain City Supply) for $250.00 . With persistence & diligence I managed to get my money back, but it took me many months & a lot of personal time. Check the customers reviews carefully out first. I was in a hurry & lazy so shame on me.…

Also, do not rely on just the reviews of the vendors on Ammoseek. If you look at some of the reviews they are suspiciously similar and many seem to be posted in batches on any given dates. That being said I use Ammoseek a lot and I've only had an issue once and when it became obvious the vendor did not have what they said they did I requested a refund and my refund finally showed up after about 2 weeks. Otherwise I have had very good experiences and gotten some very good deals using some vendors I had never heard of before. Just do your due diligence.

I guess I’ve been lucky, I’ve never had a bad experience purchasing ammunition online. I try to stick with companies that I’ve heard of, or that have plenty of good reviews. A while back I bought some ammunition online (through AmmoSeek) from a sporting goods store in another state (Georgia). They did have a legitimate looking website with phone number and their address. I did look on Google street view to make sure the place existed. No problems with that order.
