Since the "craziness" started last year, I'm curious to see which vendors everyone would recommend and buy from again. Basically the ones that treated their customers right. I don't want this to turn into a "name and shame" thread, so let's all just name the vendors that you've bought from in the last year that you would buy from again, and a reason if you want to include that.

In 2020, I've made purchases from Acme Bullets, Graf and Sons, and Midway. All were fair prices and quick shipping (all items were in stock when ordered), and I would certainly consider buying from them again.

When Arm or ally sent me the barrel for my ar15 build they sent me magazines for an ar10, sent me a return label with the correct magazines with minimal hassle and left me a happy camper. Definitely put myself on some notification for when they get stock in.

Oh and got a handguard and gas system from midway excellent shipping came in before it was due.
 
Grafs, Recob, Missouri bullet, Penn Bullets, RMR (even though they botched my order shipping, the communication was good and they made it right as soon as possible).

Local brick and mortar...Mills Fleet Farm, Runnings, Scheels.

Prices have remained fair at all of the above, and shipping where applicable has been relatively prompt, within the window estimated with the exception of the RMR order.
 
Bullets - My local gun store has Acme and Hornady in stock at very reasonable prices. If I order online, Hoosier, Acme, and Blue Collar are my first choices.
Powder - Powder Valley, Mid South, Brownells, Graf's, Precision
Primers - Anywhere I can find them under $.07 per (sorry, Larry... not willing to pay your prices when I can find them for less elsewhere).
Brass - My own range has been my best source. If I have to buy, I buy brass in the THR swap shop.
Dies - Precision, Midway, occasionally eBay, Dillon (when they have stock)

Midway prices have gone through the ceiling.
25-40% higher than Grafs or MidSouth.
Besides that, they’ve really screwed up their web site.

They formerly had best web site for shopping and competitive prices to include shipping.
No longer!

Grafs, RMR, and MidSouth get the bulk of my business.

I mean, what’s the deal with Blems selling for more than 1st quality items?
 
Acme Bullet
MBC
Powder Valley
Brownells
Midway
Academy
Grafs
Recob
 
I haven't bought much in the panicdemic but:
Coated bullets from Black Bullets International.
Pistol sights and magazines from Dawson Precision.
