Where are Reloading Components Available/On Sale (Not a Discussion Thread, Link Required)

I ordered based on your recommendation. Got a shipping notification on the 4th business day after placing the order. Fedex tracking link never worked, and continues not to, now on the 5th day post-shipping. Have sent 2 emails over the last 2 days asking what the issue is, only to receive zero response. Coincidentally (or maybe not-so?), I did receive a "sig required" notification from fedex within an hour after sending the 2nd email this morning. So I guess I finally know the order's in-transit, but Norma's refusal to respond to my inquiries or show any concern post-sale doesn't exactly give the warm fuzzies. Found at least one reddit thread where a poster had a similar experience with a few responses that indicate we're not alone. Maybe just luck-of-the-draw, but my first time ordering from this place will be my last. It's worth a few extra cents to me to do business with places that "pick up the phone". First impressions & all that jazz.

I received my two recent Normashooting orders yesterday and today. I placed my first order on 11/26/22, it went out on 11/30/22, and I received it 12/5/22. Fedex initially stated arrival to be one day before it actually arrived, which literally always happens for me. I’m certain that they got a ton of Black Friday orders and they do not work on weekends. And Fedex is Fedex.

Normashooting and AmmoShopOnline were run by RUAG (been around for 100 years or so) and are now owned by Beretta (500 plus years). Obviously legitimate.

I know that this is not a discussion thread but since you stated that you bought based on my recommendation, I felt that a response was necessary.

For anyone interested, I did receive my order of primers without a signature required, and again, no Hazmat fee. I am fortunate to be very pleased with all my orders from them.

You seem really enthusiastic about hyping this company. But I'm sure it's just "Radom chance".

I freely admit my singular experience may not be representative of how they do business. That being said, I just found the TrustPilot reviews of AmmoShopOnline.com - which you are also hyping (same place, right?) - and they're pathetic. 40% of 179 reviews were one-star. I wish I had stumbled upon those reviews before I read your gleaming recommendation. At least now I don't feel so lonely anymore. You say above you are 'fortunate' to have been pleased with your orders. It appears that is, indeed, a very accurate statement. Check it out:

All of the bad reviews, or the one or two you cherry-picked?
I'll answer for you since I've read all the reviews (I'm OCD like that): just the ones you cherry-picked.

Anyone doubting my words is free to read all the reviews as well & form their own opinion.

I'm just the messenger. Trust Pilot isn't my website. Neither is the better business bureau:

There's no need to fight over non-domestic primers.

For about same pricing, you can buy Winchester SP for $83/1000 and SPM for $88/1000 with free shipping on 5000 primers ($30 HazMat fee) - https://www.targetsportsusa.com/small-pistol-c-2807.aspx

And you will be supporting USA company, USA manufacturing and USA employees paying USA taxes. ;)

Lots of good options at Reloading Unlimited (small pistol and SP magnum, small rifle and SR magnum, small rifle NATO, large pistol, shotshell). They have been my go-to primer source over the past year once I learned about them. In addition to the Vista Outdoors and Olin primers (they have CCI, Federal and Winchester varieties at this writing), I have used a number of primer brands that they sell such as Fiocchi, Cheddite (209’s) and Magtech. Reloading Unlimited was on the higher side of average pricing when factoring in Hazmat and shipping, but they do not/did not have the quantity limits that some had or have.

Cheddite shotshell primers are currently $59/1000. I’ve used those for years (same as Winchester shotshell recipes except at heaviest load).

P.S. I would like to share a step that I have been taking for added security when buying from a new vendor for the first time. My credit card company along with many others offer Virtual Card Numbers. I create a Virtual credit Card Number that can only be used for the purchase from the new-to-me vendor. I also create a monetary limit for the transaction. That way, if I ever happen to accidentally purchase from a scam site (has not happened to me yet), they do not have my real credit number, nor can they charge it for anything other than what I have approved to purchase. And if they did, we all know that we would dispute it and the charge would be reversed. Again, it has not happened to me (yet?), but it’s a little extra insurance that costs me nothing.

I hope that helps some of you fellow reloaders!
 
Follow up: I received the Argentine primers from normashooting.com and they're all GTG. So I guess the only thing I can fault them for was not responding to my post-sale inquiries. Product looks brand new. How they perform time will tell but thus-far pleased with purchase. From the tracking history I finally (this am) pulled up it appears it was FedEx's problems in not displaying tracking info.

Which means things are continuing to improve and shortage is turning around. And don't worry, prices will continue to fall if they remain "in stock" at higher prices. ;)

I wanted to get another of the older 3-hole turrets from Lee for $20. How about a complete basic press with the turret and large/small ram prime for $54? ($86 with tax and shipping.)

Yes I bought one on last week and it just showed up. Mounted on the bench next to it's big brother. A bit smaller than my old Classic Turret but seems to be solid and functional.
