Palmetto State Armory Refusing To Sell Bulk Ammo to MD?

Bob A · Oct 4, 2013

Got 2160 rounds of 5.45x39 on my porch two days ago. In Takoma Park.
PSA has sent me hundreds of rounds in past with no problem.

Montgy County passed some kind of fool law a long time ago about this; they got slapped down by the state, but some dealers never got the word. Try another dealer if you don't feel like arguing the case. Ammo prices are dropping and the dealers will be snowed under a backlog - surely someone wants your money.

I live in Montgomery county and PSA sent me 100 rounds of 45 ACP last month.

You know my mom ordered some .45 ACP from PSA a few months back and lives in Germantown. I'll ask and see if shr had any problems.

This is my first order with PSA though I've had several thousand rounds shipped to my house. I skipped a few thousand rounds of .223 and .40 from PSA because of their policy; I called and Customer Service told me "yeah, too bad that's what the policy." Whatever, I'll try more orders and if they try to charge me 5% restocking for something that never left the warehouse I'll do a chargeback.

Got the UPS confirmation that 250 rnds of 9mm on the way to Clarksburg 20871.

My 250rds of .223 arrived today as well in Rockville.

The issue is MoCo/Annapolis addresses.

Scratch · Oct 10, 2013

Rockville is in MoCo

The 5% is listed in the terms and conditions of their page.

They still should have not Accepted The order

Nor should the buyer have PLACED the order...just sayin'. It pays to read the instructions.

I'm presuming if someone's address was:

XXX Y Street
Montgomery County, MD XXXXX

the ammo would not ship.

Since no one's address is Montgomery County, but a city in MoCo, that;s why all the ammo has been getting shipped.

Docster · Oct 10, 2013

Tons of discussion to figure out that Maryland's laws are crappy, and some companies don't want to deal with them. They're so confusing that within the same company enforcement can be spotty.

Ammo is getting easier to find; think outside the box and get the system working FOR you instead of whining; and read the policies first.

The guy I quoted said HOCO which I take to mean Howard County. There's no PSA restriction against sales there.

Mdfan · Oct 10, 2013

Yes Howard. I mention it because the thread title says MD.

Mr Bear · Oct 11, 2013

Yep. Just received 250 rds from PSA to Balto County, yesterday.

Kazimir · Oct 18, 2013

I noticed that after my first purchase. They still have sent me 3 orders totaling 3500 round in the last 2 months. One of them shipped yesterday. All shipped to gburg.

Last week I placed an order online with PSA for the 1000 rounds of Federal American Eagle .223 ammo sale priced at $399.

Just now I got an email from Palmetto stating (bolded mine):

Have it shipped to me and PU any time.

Lightkeeper · Nov 29, 2013

I just ran in to this with Cheaper Than Dirt. They told me "as of October 1, 2013 both Maryland and Connecticut have new laws that will prohibit the sale of ammunition or magazines."

I know about the new magazine restriction, but have heard nothing, and can find nothing, about not being able to mail order ammo. Add to that, I just had 1000rds of 5.56 delivered on from another supplier last week.

Am I missing something, or is CTD just foolishly cutting off all ammo sales to Maryland?

armed ferret · Nov 29, 2013

after their antics in the past, why the **** would you even consider buying from them anyway?

I was comparing prices and wanted to know what the total cost would be so I entered my location, and once I saw that it couldn't be shipped, I got curios, so I asked them.

As I indicated, I just bought 1000rds from someone else last week. I'm willing to pay more to spend my money with companies that behave ethically, I just like to check prices now and then.

Has anyone in Montgomery County been able to have ammo mailed to them? Because, I've heard that some places such as bulkammo.com will send ammo to Montgomery county.

I've had a bout 8000 rounds of various calibers from various vendors shipped to my home in Montgomery County this year. None of it from PSA, with the majority coming from Lucky Gunner.
