I live in CA and have to send ammo throught the same FFL process (retails gun store) as firearms (background check). CA also puts additinal taxes on firearms related purchases. I forgot how much I spent, but saw the included invoice and the gun store rep and myself both thought, that can't be right. Bottomline, the price was incredible compared to what you get. The UPS delivery was faster than expected (NC to CA) and they packaged the ammo appropriately. I will definitely be a return customer for future ammo needs. I highly recommend as emailing customer service is very responsive and helpful as well. Cheers.
