Canada Ammo's January Madness Sale!

why not, when it's a product no one else has...the main issue is that Canada ammo said this 7.62x39 ammo they had coming in, would be much cheaper than anything else on the Canadian market, and that the supply would be endless...they even advised people not to buy any other ammo. This was last march. Then when it shows up over 6 months late, it's only marginally cheaper than other non corrosive from a wide range of retailers, and now it's sold out. The issue isn't that I spent and extra $23 per case just one month ago, it's that their sales strategy is shady and they lied about the product, taking sales away from other honest retailers in the mean time, knowing that when it landed, people would still buy it even if it's only 1 or 2 cents per round cheaper. I know I'm not the only one who held out for this ammo, and to have had faith in their claims makes me feel cheated. I live an hour away from sfrc, I won't be dealing with Canada ammo any longer.

I never said they shouldn't have sales, they shouldn't have "limited supply" sales, if their supply is not limited...

I found the x39 business last march pretty shady as well.. sold a bunch of spam cans in order to finance the purchase of this non-corrosive ammunition they were hyping us about... held out for as long as I could but it seemed they were never going to get it, so I ended up buying some crates of non-corrosive. Fast forward several months and they get it in and the price-point wasn't impressive. Even at $377 dollars I would rather save $120 and get an extra 300 rnds of corrosive. Back when the Norinco was on sale for $250 for 1000 I thought it was a great deal at 25c a rnd I thought it was worth it. Judging on the wording they used it made it seem as though this new shipment would be priced only marginally more expensive. Also, claiming to have an endless supply while simultaneously claiming to have a limited supply is contradicting. I don't think they should have been dishonest about the timeline, supply, and price in order to take away business from other dealers.

I definitely will order from Canam again, as sometimes they have sales that I just cannot refuse. Overall, I think they are one of the top retailers, but the x39 business left a slightly bad taste in my mouth. Apologies to all those offended by this comment.
