Apparently I suck at math

[wired]

Kind of a shady place anyway. Only available by email 4 days a week and the other days are phone cal noon to 2 pm. I mean its a good price but theyre probably drop ship only and from what I hear their normal practice is to jack shipping super high to reel suckers in with the low up front ...or to promise free shipping and then not deliver on it.

You have to account for the additional overcharge and the overcharge surcharge.

That is NATO ammo. You forgot to cipher-in the government cost over-run fees and tariffs, which would account for the difference

Every stinking business wants your banking info anymore. I refuse to allow it. Charge me for using paper, fine, I'll do business with your competitors whenever possible!

I am totally blown away at how many hubristic businesses wont even let me see their website and products without me first filling out my E mail, name, ph# etc.
I can only assume they don't really care for my business, just my info. One thing if I'm buying something, but just to visit them!!
I hope its their loss, because I move on.

That would be my guess, the free shipping ain't free, they just are not showing it on the price total and hoping you would not catch it. Pretty sleezy. Did you contact them about the discrepancy?

Yeah, there's no way to really contact them.

That's a write-off for me then, no matter how good the prices. Simply too much to risk it on some POS glitch and being out the difference.

Pretty blatant scam then. I have to guess they are just hoping some will not even notice and just place the order. Who is this? Be interesting to see if there are any reviews of the place and for how long they have been around.

It's the new math. It's related to not teaching children cursive.

Honestly compare how often you need to read and write cursive to how often you need to know how to type.

I was one of the last classes at my school that was taught cursive in elementary school, we were told we would need it in high-school and college. When we got to high school the teachers told us not to use it and by junior and senior year we had to turn in typed and printed papers and in college everything was done online. I can count on my hands how many times I've needed to know cursive in the real world.

If cursive is still taught, I have no idea why.

I WELL remember learning how to type when I was middle aged. I had to REALLY work at it only because I was determined to learn and all I could think was "Damn I should have taken this in school". I had been a hunt and peck for do damn long I had a hell of a time teaching myself. I got so damn good at hunt and peck that many people watching me thought I could type.
Even when we had to use cursive unless I was painfully slow doing it I could often not read most of my own writing a day later so I guess I can see why they no longer bother with it. Hell if I live a little longer it may become a good way to write in code, few would be able to read it

The ammo sales company responded to my email today. They didn't mean to put free shipping on there.

Color me skeptical at that response. Someone set up the site and I find it fairly hard to believe it was an accident. Totally possible but my bet would be they were hoping some would just not pay attention and let the sale go through. Either way I would NOT want to deal with them. Too many places that do not act like this.

I didnt say I believed them. Theyre one of those fly by night drop shippers that charges 3X what actual shipping costs so they can get the lowest price on ammo on ammo seek

Now that that's cleared up, you know who sucks at meth?. Nancy Pelosi.

Back when I first started ordering ammo I used to run into a few like that. Price would "look" great. They would not tell you what shipping was until you actually were ready to check out and of course then price no longer looked good at all. It got to where I would not even look at a site unless they made it easy to see what the total was going to be. This one sure looked like blatant hoping to burn people.
