Oh don't worry I'm signed up for the emails, I just always went by what they said their shipping policies were and never tried. I'll have to test this out one day, thank you kindly for the heads up everyone.

I broke up 24 flats of 7½ target into 6 orders of 4.

Also make sure your in a UPS service zone and not a service zone where UPS hands off to another carrier

Did you receive them? The people affected aren't told immediately, you will get a separate email if you are outside the seemingly arbitrary areas that qualify.

Not yet, but I did get the shipping notification. I have received bulk ammo from Cabelas (with free shipping) before without issue.

Why can't we get .223/5.56 at these prices??

I am pretty sure you will never find .223/5.56 at these prices ever again, at least not retail. Most of the retail .223/5.56 is brass cased so it will never sell at the same price as the steel cased counterparts. You really should be looking at the secondary market if you want to find anything remotely close to what your signature line is suggesting. Focusing on just retailers to meet a 50 cent per round expectation is a pretty uphill climb (and unrealistic, given historical price trends), in my opinion.
 
The best "Deal" on .223 that recurs with diff vendors is the PMC Bronze, going for ca $13.99 or so. Very good ammo for the money, tho not at the $9.99 it was a couple years ago. I'm down to my last couple hundred round of the Bronze, but better stocked with the Barnaul/MFS 62g SP that I bought 3-4 years ago at $7.99. I've seen some of the Barnaul on Sponsors' sites, a couple weeks ago. May be all gone but worth looking at, around $15 or so.

It's new manufacture so it's fine.

That old stigma on Norinco ammo has got to be at least 25 years old and it still gets repeated by nimrods as gospel.

Norinco did screw up and mixed up corrosive primers back then and yes, some of that ammo is still out there. Check the manufacture dates on the boxes. Anything made after 2000 can pretty much be counted on as non corrosive.

That’s not exactly true. I have purchased new production norinco 7.62x25, and 7.62x54 over the past couple years and it turned out that it was indeed corrosive. It seems like some batches have corrosive primers mixed in. For anyone buying this I would be cautious and not shoot the ammo and then put their rifle into the safe for a year before using it again. Treat it as corrosive until otherwise known.

They wouldn't send it to any of the three closest outlets or any address in the municipalities. There is obviously more to it than just UPS.

Maybe it's a business decision where the shipping cost is greater than the profit from the order.
 
Ordered 24 boxes at 9.99$ zero issues with free shipping and arrived. Noticed the this is on sale at East Hill for 8.99 so got Cabela's to price match it, ordered another 17 boxes to get free shipping. Says will be here next week.
