Question: The best money I've ever spent on ammo was buying a Target Sports U.S.A. "PRIME MEMBERSHIP". The price for Prime Members is always less than what you see posted for non members and shipping is always free. When you have a membership a different price automatically appears on every item with a discount for members included. For example: after the $21.00 Federal rebate this box is only $116.95 with membership and shipping is free. My savings paid for my membership the first purchase and its good for one year. I definetly will renew my membership. ...No, Target didnt pay me to comment...lol - Mike (09/25/2019) Response: …Thank you Mike, we sure try ….

Question: Are the ammo cans supposed to come with the tamper proof seal attached? I've seen them in the store with the metal wire with seal so a little surprised.

Question: The UPC code is not eligible for the rebate yet you continue to market this as "rebate available". Other customers and I have pointed this out and the issue has not been addressed. Telling Ronald F. and other buyers to "just send it in" is not good customer service nor acting in good faith. Target Sports is the FIRST place I go (and many others) to shop ammo. How will you act to preserve this brand loyalty? - james (10/16/2017) Response: James, please note that Federal/Vista is offering this rebate, not us. We are not sure what you mean that this UPC is not accepted. I am looking at the rebate right now and this is one of the products that qualifies for free shipping. XM855F1 AC1 5.56X45MM 62GR FMJ BALL CLIPPED/420 420 0-29465-56378-3 $21.00..........................................If you email me at sales@targetsportsusa.com or call me at 860-426-9886 (Sam) I can show you as well.................Thanks Question: Thank you for responding. The UPC on the box you sent out is: 0-29465-06318-9 the closest number on the rebate form is: 0-29465-56318-9 therein lies the discrepancy. The rebate form on-line will tell you if the UPC you enter is valid after it is typed into the form. The UPC on the ammo you have sent out is not valid for the rebate TARGETSPORTS advertises. thank you. I look forward to your response - james (10/16/2017) Response: I am on it... Will keep you posted. Thanks Question: A scan of the label has been email to you. I really appreciate your assistance with this. - james (10/16/2017) Response: This is the UPC code they have on the rebate form and on the ammo can as well: 029465563189 Question: The UPC on the ammo sold: 0-29465-06318-9 The UPC on the rebate form: 0-29465-56318-9 The difference is the second numeral 5. - james (10/16/2017) Response: The zero in red below, indicates the cans were purchased by TS in case lots. Jalen at Federal's rebate center informed me that the UPC number on the cans of ammo TS sold WILL be accepted despite the single digit deviation from what appears on the rebate form. Please post this information on your Q&A portion of the listing and save yourself and your customers some worry and headache. (and try to follow up on your promises, eh?) 0-29465-06318-9 is on the cans many have received from TS 0-29465-56318-9 is on the rebate form. Both will be3 accepted. Thanks for playing.
