Yes you can order ammo online. It's not any easier to find it there though, at least not at a good price.

 

[thomfantomas]

links to websites would be much appreciate

Another site like gunbot.net that finds the available stock on various websites. It has more search features.

It depends where you live. Montgomery County prohibits delivery of ammo to houses via online or mail orders.

Is this really true? I receive ammo via online orders at home all the time and I live in Montgomery County.

 

[Deep Creek Rock]

Dont know if its 100% true or not, but I recall this issue coming up on this forum before.

Im not totally familiar with Montgoco laws, as I have not lived there in a longtime.

THIS, Know your local laws before you order. Or just send it to my house, I will find a good home for it.

Huh. Cabela's sent me mine no issues, and I live in MoCo.

There is a thread about this. I recall the county got trumped, either by state preemption, or the courts. Search this forum. I get ammo delivered to my door all the time.

 

[Deep Creek Rock]

I really dont see how anyone would know whats inside a package anyways.

Indeed, search is our friend...

Please tell us who these dealers are, so we can contact them and correct the problem.

Both Montgomery county and the city of Annapolis have "passed laws" prohibiting sales of ammunition, which is why many dealers won't ship there.

In Maryland, these local "laws" are explicitly pre-empted by STATE law, so they are invalid. But, some dealers don't know this.

It's a bit like your neighbor Bob passing his own "law" to prevent you from driving past his house, only somewhat less amusing.

Kyle's Gun Shop is one that does not ship to either of the mentioned cities. I imagine if someone contacted him about it that the issue could be clarified and possibly fixed.

OP, I get most of my ammo online like many here. Sadly, we are all in the same boat. There are tons of sellers, all of which are out of mainstream calibers. 5.56/.223 and 9mm are arguably the most in demand yet have the smallest supply (the military uses 5.56 and 9mm extensively). I'm subscribed to about 2,500 products (and growing) on over 150-200 websites that notify you when ammo is in stock. Thus far I've gotten slightly under than 10 notifications, and these products sell out in a period of a few minutes. So if you sign up for notifications on common ammo, as soon as you get the notification you have to literally drop what you are doing and type like a mad man. It's a bad time to buy ammo and so as of today, you have to spend a lot of time watching, subscribing to companies, monitoring this thread among others, and you will have to act fast and often pay a bit (to a lot [which I don't advise]) more. Many companies do case discounts with free shipping but as of late, purchases have been restricted to as little as 2 boxes of one caliber by some companies, often meaning higher shipping charges. It's a tough situation

Some of the online distributors send their ammo out in the original packaging. I had 500 rds of 44 Mag delivered and the box was clearly marked as containing 44 Mag ammo. I considered I was lucky that it actually made it to my door. My 1000 Rds of 5.56 (ordered before the "shortage") was double wrapped with no visible indicator of what was inside the package. I've ordered quite a bit of ammo from internet based distributors without any problem.

I have done the same thing. I have received a few alerts in the middle of the night with in-stock alert emails. I keep a laptop and my wallet near the bed to take advantage of certain items I'm trying to get at a decent price. Most of the time the items are gone within 5-10 minutes of receiving the email.
