$8.99/$7.99+S/H Used Ammo Cans at Natchez

Arcamm · Jan 25, 2015

PSA has 30 cal cans for 6.99/can plus shipping. I got a shipping estimate of 33.00 to ship 10 cans. Total cost $10.29 per can shipped.

OK if you're not in a hurry. :lol2:

All good, still a great price. I never thought to look on Ebay for them. Next time I will. Thanks for the idea.

I went looking for my receipt and found it. I bought them from a Black Star Surplus in Oklahoma. I went to their web page and their prices have jumped a bit. 12 cans, Grade 2 shipped to my house is $180. That's $15 a can.

I've also noticed that eBay prices are up a lot from a few months ago. I guess, now that ammo is becoming available, people need a place to store it.

I still stand by my comment about the shipping being excessive, but it's looking like the final cost isn't too bad. I just hate when a vendor sells something for a good price, but then makes up for it by charging too much.

I can still get Grade 3 for less, but they're a gamble. You never know what you're getting.

Try this; goto UPS.com and see what it costs to ship a box the size and weight of an ammo can from someplace to your zip. See what the price is. I did. It would cost me $12 to ship a can from Gaithersburg to Mt Airy. If I use my commercial account that would drop to about $8.00.

I haven't tried USPS.com yet.

Mine was delivered via UPS. Something else I noticed about the ad. It doesn't disclose the condition or Grade. If these are Grade 3, this isn't much of a deal. I'll call them tomorrow while we're all closed off to the rest of the world.

I'm just saying...

The member selling the cans in the classifieds is getting more. Still for $11 a can:

Good deal from a trusted MDShooter if you are in range. A bit too far to drive for me when I can get them delivered to my door for the same price. Gas is cheap but I get terrible mileage.

I just got off the phone with Natchez and the guy told me that they don't grade them like others do, no #1, 2, 2A, or 3. He did describe them as having some rust and scratches, so my guess is these are #3 grade.

Did anyone receive their ammo cans yet?

Thanks!

Do t we have them in the classifieds cheaper?

Chevellenut71 sells them for 11 bucks. His are in VG condition, and you can pick them up locally.

My cans from Natchez have arrived. I ordered 10 on Tuesday, received them on Thursday.

They were well-packed and delivered to my door for $10.75 each. Some do have a tiny bit of rust and some scratches but I really don't care. They are for storing ammo in a closet, not displaying on the fireplace mantel. The insides are all clean and dry and the rubber seals are in excellent shape.
The pics are before any cleaning. They cleaned-up very nicely.

If you are within economic driving distance of Chevellenut71, definitely buy cans from him. If not, hard to beat the Natchez deal delivered to your door.
