Seen what? A case? The price? I've used the ammo before, works fine. I believe it's a touch lighter and a touch faster than regular black cloud.

Cause in three weeks when it is still not delivered there will be something to boitch about.
I have had back ordered items in three days or as long as 375 days.
My B/O item was NOT charged and they called asking if I still wanted the item after the 375 days.
Neither one of the items I was in any hurry for.
Tight Groups,

Default cant tell me a date

they said because the item is back ordered they can not give me a date. as far as i am concerned if i get it before sept awsome. same as if you look at the federal speed shock if you go into 3.5 inch shells they are 12.99 for 25 or if you go into a 3 1/2 shell they are 17.99 also asked about that and i got nothing from the lady. so i will have to keep up my hopes cause those black clouds lay a dirty licking on those sky maggotts. the shells are on the web site 3rd page under the shotshell page.

139.00 a case is pretty damn cheap. Used them last year with great success and they where selling 19.99 at wss in Calgary in November. If that is truely the case price for 3" I'll be ordering a case.

Default BC snow goose

I used some last fall on mallards and they were great shells out to 50 yards.On the other hand dealing with WSS is like knowing a" black cloud" is on the horizon regarding customer service..........SSDD

Back ordered? I would not expect to see much in the way of hunting ammo at WSS til just before next hunting season.

Website shows what is available to them in inventory from suppliers during the course of the year not what is in stock

Did you get them to guarantee price on a product that they do not have in stock or booked for the upcomming season?

That is a crazy price.....called all my hunting buddys and we made a big order. Only thing I think might hurt us is the small print on the order sheet.

Due to fluctuations or discrepancies in product and/or shipping costs we reserve the right to make adjustments to the overall cost on the order confirmation. The customer will be notified of any changes prior to the shipment of goods.



Been there with cabelas, they will hike the price and say do you still want them. No Hurry for the shells Next week is fine, snow goose opens Apr 1st

Default fine print

Ya i seen that to when i placed my order, I thought what the hell worth the try. When i got an e mail from them they had nothing about a price change but asked if i wanted to go through with my order. of course i said yes. We will have to see if whole sale holds true this will be interesting to see if they honor the price with out fluctuation.

Those shipping prices seem to be very low? I was under the impression that ammunition has to be sent by secure carrier. A couple years ago I inquired about a rate for 3 boxes of rifle ammo from Alberta to BC and it was over $50.00 Maybe ammunition shipping regulations have changed?

Default Flat of ammo for $5

Not believing that as it ranks with dangerous goods with only a few couriers to handle it. couldn't ship a newspaper across Calgary by courier for $5 so I am not seeing a flat of ammo going any where for $5.

Seeing is believing, or someone got their wires crossed on the shipping estimate?

You ordered 26 cases? Wow I thought I did a lot of shooting.
$5 seems cheap considering I pay about $30/case when I get it from WSS. $130 would barely cover the insurance on $3,400.00 worth of ammo, let alone the weight of it.

Shipping on 8 cases was 60 bucks for me. Through DHL.
With shipping and tax it works out to about $144 a case.
