Earlier this week, I ordered a couple of 250-round bottles of Federal .22 WMR ammo from Midway USA and I received the order on Friday afternoon. Surprisingly fast shipping but it went UPS, not USPS so that may account for a speedier shipping time. In any event, when I opened the package, I discovered that one of the bottles had been jarred so severely that the top had detached from the bottle and most of the rounds were adrift in the package. There was only one length of brown paper in the box used as packing. I couldn't find any evidence the package had been opened so I presume I got all the ammunition I ordered but I found it frustrating that the package was so poorly wrapped.

I don't know if this particular package was wrapped by man or machine but whoever/whichever did so, it was poorly done.

Luckily, it was not an expensive optic but I found I to be disappointing.

Oh well. Ammo shortage? I ain't skeered of no ammo shortage.

Sorry to hear that about the ammo. I've always had good luck with Midway, although I don't order much.

I see very poor packaging from Amazon all the time. The packing materials in the box are intended to keep the contents from shifting around causing damage just like you describe. Seems like the folks packing the boxes just put a little bit of packing inside to complete that step in the process without any regard to actually procting the contents. Grrrrrr
