Natchez and CheaperThanDirt
Sometimes when you look for reviews of online stores, you just can't seem to find what you are looking for. Well, in an attempt to counter that trend, I am going to put two brief reviews up here about Natchez Shooters Supplies and CheaperThanDirt.
First, Natchez. Well actually the only thing I've purchased from Natchez so far is ammo, so that is about all I can comment on. Good news, it was cheap. Like $2.50 per box cheap! (115 gr 9mm.) Shipping took about 5-7 days in both cases, which is fine. The ammunition was securely packed, and really there was nothing to complain about. So I reckon Natchez gets an A+.
Second, CheaperThanDirt. I placed an order about three days after I got their catalog, and two of the items I wanted to purchase were already out of stock. In fact, it seems as though a significant part of their inventory is perpetually out of stock. That is annoying.
I'm still waiting for that order to be delivered, (and it was a big order), so I expect that I'll have more to say about CheaperThanDirt after it arrives...
Update: The order has been delivered. The used gas tanks I bought were a total ripoff... they were practically rusted through. They were advertised as "used good condition". Bah! The rest of the order was mostly satisfactory, except that I ended up ordering the wrong magazine loader because their website didn't provide enough detail about compatibility. Bottom line: CheaperThanDirt gets a C-.
