    Post Ammo Pricing

    Just so people are aware an ammo drought is coming.

    We are getting daily ammo shipments and the prices are going up invoice to invoice.

    So yes you can see something like 9MM go from 14.99 a box to 16.99 a box in 24 hours.

    I would start preparing it to go way higher with the current amount of ammo being bought up by the US market and a 40 cent dollar.

    Unfortunately the Canadian market always suffers in these situations.

    You don't order your ammo from a wholesaler box by box. Whatever you have in stock was likely ordered/paid for months ago?
    You clearly do not understand what he said...
    "We are getting daily ammo shipments and the prices are going up invoice to invoice." IE Their invoices are going up with each shipment.
    So when their cost goes up so does ours.

    I'm not going to get into the inner workings of my business but your assumptions are incorrect.

    Their prices are probably still higher than most vendors on here even with out the current circumstances.

    Hey, good for you, bud. It is nice to see that someone realizes they did something at the spur of the moment, said something that was erroneous, and then apologize and make things right. I wish more people were like this. Hat's off to you!
