Worst rimfire ammo purchase experience in my life.|Winchester .22 Rim Fire|Forum|Winchester Collector

For several years, I’ve bought all my ammo from Targetsports, which provides top-quality service & usually the best prices.  But for the last two yrs, they’ve been out of my favorite brand, Aguila SV.  So I made the mistake of searching for a dealer who had it in stock, & had the bad luck to find it at Buds Gun Shop, which claims to be “America’s #1 Online Retailer of Guns & Ammo.”  Price was 8 cents/rd, as low as I’ve seen it, but twice the cost before the National Panic commenced.  I submitted two email requests to ask if there was a case price discount, but neither was answered, & no phone no. was listed on their website.  Those two facts should have warned me against dealing with them, but I ordered a case (5000) anyway.  How was it shipped?  100 individual 50 rd boxes dumped (not packed or stacked) into an oversize box loosely covered with a small piece of bubble wrap.  Amazingly, no ammo spilled out of the boxes, the result of Aguila’s well-constructed boxes, not Bud’s packaging.  Since then, I started a thread on the subject on RFC, & several other Buds customers reported similar negligence, suggesting my experience was not an isolated incident.
