Well, they have like 4 or 5 different warehouses that they ship from. So, say you buy 6 or 7 different products. You may have to pay 2,3,4 different shipping charges if they are not in stock at the same waehouse, and usually they are not.

So, if you buy just 1 product at a time, you may be ok, but for multiple product purchases it is a very bad system. Never seen any one else do this. Probably has cost a lot of business, since I have not bought anything from them since.

I only buy from them when they are actually cheaper than everyone else. and if it's just a few $$$$ difference, I try to buy locally.

OIC! They are like an online computer store (new egg) that I sometimes buy from. You order 5 items all with different shipping prices and they all arrive at different times.

If you are a constant on-line shopper, like I tend to be, you will see that some sellers of firearms related products have not raised prices on their products. I am keeping notes on that, they will get my future business.
I'm done doing business with ctd period... I don't support there choice to suspend online gun sale!! Good way to lose a few thousand customers!!

TO COPEMAN60:

Yeah, it seems like there sre some real politically correct people running that business. But think about it.....that is a VERY HYPOCRITICAL stand. They will no longer sell firearms, just everything that goes along with them....hahahahahahaha...if that isn't a greedy, stupid, and hypocritical two faced position, I am not sure what is!!!!

hasnt anyone here been paying attention?



The already announced they will be caught up with their exisiting orders and will start selling firearms again on Jan 8th.

As for the complaints about shipping, its actually quite competitive IF YOU PAY attention and odnt mix your warehouses. I usually try to order only from one of the per order (which is not that hard) and save say the Ammo+ target (warehouse A for the next order).

They are a GUN STORE!.... to call them anti 2A is absurd.

I am not saying they are angels in every way but the rhetoric in this thread is getting waaaay over the top and frankly a bit childish......

We spend SO MUCH on extra ammo so we will always have a stash "just in case" its outlawed..

If we just spent half of that money on supporting the NRA, we wouldn't have to worry about maintaining a stash "just in case"

I was a victim of this scheme and have not ordered with them since that happened.
