“Negative Reviews Are Obsolete”

Michael C.
4/30/22

Most of the complaints against TargetsportsUSA are based on prime membership to their ammo club, paying a membership fee for perks, free samples, etc. There might have been some shenanigans there a few years ago. But in 2022, this outfit is shipping ammo across the country in 2-3 days with automated order processing and the ammo arrives undamaged and exactly as ordered.

“Prime membership not worth the money”

Derek P.
1/22/21

I purchased the prime membership in early 2020 and only got to use it one time before the ammunition shortage started. I know it's not their fault that they run out of ammunition but it looks like that they would give some kind of rebate or partial refund on this membership since it is basically worthless now. Also I am sad to say that they are charging way too much for their ammo during this shortage just like the rest of the companies cheaper than dirt for example is another one. Will not be doing business here in the Future.

Don't bother with prime membership. See a deal on ammoseek, just take it as is.

Tip for consumers:
During the ammo shortage of 2020 and now spanning into 2021 I wouldn't recommend buying the prime membership for ammunition because you won't get your money back out of it. They have been out of stock on just about every caliber for going on a year.

Signed up for the Ammo + membership. My free box of ammo was 380 ACP, the cleaning kit was 12 ga, and the ammo can was 30 cal rehab metal -- can't use any of it. When I contacted customer service I was informed all of the freebies are, "subject to availability," which means they are only trying to get rid of unwanted inventory.

This company has over thirty complaints filed with BBB...
Ordered some ammo. Online from this company. Received 2 out of 4 items a month later... never received the other 2 items, but was charged regardless. Plus was charged for a membership I did not desire or sign up for on credit card. A total of $150 for two boxes of 50 38 special Ammo. Phone Calls are not not being accepted. Email response saying membership fees cannot be refunded.
False advertising, poor service, dishonest scammers.

I am absolutely happy with TargetSportsUSA.com! They have the best customer service! (CJ did a spectacular job taking care of me) Their prices are outstanding and having them willing to legally/lawfully/rightfully ship ammo into my home state has been a Godsend when most sellers simply won't put in the effort; even though it's perfectly legal! My hat is off to these folks! They have the vast majority of all my ammo buying business!
I signed up for their Prime Membership and the savings have already paid for that membership! What an exceptional company/business! I couldn't be happier with them!

They get you excited about their prices by showing us awesome prices that just don't exist, then sell you a $95.00 one year subscription to buy ammo at great prices that they just don't have! I can't imagine that this is legal.

Tip for consumers:
Buy somewhere else!

I ordered 3 cases of 223 Winchester ammo on 12/21/2020 and they cancelled it a hour later and reposted it at double the price. They should honor the original purchase price and send me my ammo for the price I paid. I understand if it was sold out but they cancelled everyone's order to resell at a higher price this should be illegal. I urge everyone not to shop at this retailer with shady practices they are price gouging terribly anyways. Order #*******

Tip for consumers:
Don’t give them your business they are gouging terribly and won’t honor orders.

Nothing they cancelled my order because they didn’t like the price they listed it at.

Do NOT purchase the prime membership! They deceive people by posting low prices on out of stock ammo to convince you to purchase the prime membership, prices on ammo is not what they advertised once they become available, they are just as expensive or even more than other companies. Do NOT fall for this scam.

With Prime Membership they claim dealer pricing, but this is not true. It may be decent pricing and with free shipping. However claims of dealer cost are greatly overexaggerated. I was a Prime member and even though I was notified of product availability, none was ever available even when I checked as soon as I was notified.

Tip for consumers:
Careful joining PRIME. Not worth the value unless you frequently buy a box at a time.

I ordered 2 magazines, i was charged for 2 magazines, but i only received 1. I sent an email 4 days ago to let them know, and have not heard anything back. 1 star for subpar Pick and Pack operations, and subpar customer service

Folks,
TargetSportsUSA.com is by far the best ammunition dealer on the web. Sales staff is friendly and answer questions without the usual attitude most of the other dealers have.
I purchase for our store however most of the purchases are for my personal use. The delivery is SUPER fast.
The fact you took the time to send me a personal email regarding your move showed me you actually care what your customer thinks.
I don't envy moving such a large operation but I can only assume it's due to you folks needing more space. That's a good thing. Business is good.
The gun club that I am a charter member of now buys ALL our ammunition from you. Pistol calibers, rifle and my favorite 50BMG.
I would like to say Thank you, for all you do for us in the shooting sports.
Glad your moved in now comes the little things like setting up offices etc. You will get it down.
Again thank each and everyone of you for providing good old American service.
God Bless

I placed my ordered on April 10th and did not receive my order till may 15th, with everything going on understandable, I ordered ammo 10mm, 223,7.62 and 12 gauge. 223 showed up cases only. 12 gauge ammo was turned into 20 gague, however i never received my 10mm or 12 at all. Emailed them to ask what to do, never responded. I called and was told because my order was over 30 day they can't due nothing for me.

12-10-17 Despite all the negative reviews I signed up with them and ordered about $200 worth of ammo. It is true that it takes a little longer for them to deliver, but whenever I called I was treated very well by CJ or others on the phone and eventually I got exactly what I ordered for a good price about 10 days after my order. I really like them and will order again from them. You just need to plan well for your purchases, figure delivery takes one to two weeks. I can fully recommend them. I will leave more updates on my experiences as I purchase more from them.

UPDATE 1-5-18: Upping my rating from 4 to 5 stars! Continue to have excellent experience with this store. Extremely nice and helpful staff on the phone. They are busy, but if you work with them they are tops. I buy a lot of ammo for tournaments and practice and they will definitely get all my business. Have so far purchased about 3000 rounds here.

UPDATE 3-10-18: I continue to buy ammo at this store to the tune of about $200 per month and they continue to be absolutely fantastic! Best price and very friendly and responsive customer service. If you need the ammo quickly, call them and CJ will get it out same day or next day. All ammo is shipped FedEx so it tracks and arrives very fast. I am an avid shooter and buy from a lot of online sources, but this is the BEST ammo store bar none! They also track for you how much your membership saves you in ammo and shipping costs and now after 3 months I am already $10 ahead of what the membership cost me.

Target Sports USA is my go-to online ammunition supplier! They offer a membership for $95 a year and it's worth every penny! Membership includes FREE SHIPPING on all orders no matter the total and a discount on your purchases. I'm in my second year now and my first years savings totaled over $900 and I received a gift at the end of my first year of membership that was worth almost as much as the cost of the membership.

Tip for consumers:
Shipping is fast and extremely well packaged!

Altered my order and just sent with no explanation. Unprofessional, inept, slow, false advertising, zero customer service, no communication and greedy. Shop somewhere else.

Forget about ammo shortage — that's everywhere. It's how a company takes care of its customers that matters. It's whether they honor those that follow the rules they set out, only to find they don't themselves follow their own procedures. It's when a company is so comfortable feeding ona hungry public that they don't invest in systems to honor their orders and respect their customers. Subscribed to PRIME membership. Entered notices when ammo available. After many attempts finally able to secure inventory before on line reported out of stick. Item added to cart. Moved to cart it pay using preconfigured payment method. Opening cart I say item there disappear before my eyes. Called and told that item is not held for payment once in cart. That's the way all reputable retailers' systems work, but not here. Told owner elected not to do that. Say what? Suggests he's playing us all. Will find other sources and suggest you do the same. Any sense that you might get a fair shake are misguided. Gave them months of chances, but now realize I never had a chance, and likely you won't either.

I purchased a Prime membership for $95.00 which afforded me free shipping. However, here's the problem. They have not carried my ammo in stock for a month. I have been checking there website on a daily basis. When I call them they tell me they are getting ammo every day, but it gets sold out immediately. I paid for prime membership privilege's that I can't utilize. So I explained my predicament and they told me... SORRY WE DON'T GIVE REFUNDS! BE VERY CAREFULL WHEN DEALING WITH THIS COMPANY. THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY WITH NO REGARD FOR RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICES. THEY LOST A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE.
