Winchester 100rd pack only 99 in the box

[whippo]

Not that it's a huge deal but just was disappointed I was missing a bullet.

So, just the bullet missing of #100?
That would leave a mess.

I never know if I had too many or if I just miscounted when loading magazines. Best so far is 103 in a hundred round box.

How dare they short you a bullet, you should get a lawyer and take them to court.

Call the manufacturer with the serial number on the box...

I got 49 in a box of 50 at Walmart once. I took it back, they said they don't take ammo returns/replacements. I walked back to the ammo counter, handed the box to the guy, he gave me a new one, and walked out.

My last box of Winchester 555 had 539 rounds. So I was also shorted a few rounds. Seems to be a pattern. If I every find another box of 555 on the shelves I will count them also.

The guy at WalMart swipes a few out of each 300+ round package.

A long long time ago I worked as a shipping clerk. I would package and ship tiny to massive parts to our customers. I would weigh-count anything over 100pcs. One slow day I decided to hand count and compare weigh count on a 5000 piece order. Scale vs hand count was within 25 pieces, leaving a very very small margin of error. I suspect hand counting would have a greater margin of error.

I did however change my own personal protocol to toss in 1% extra per box. So if the weigh counted 5000pc order said 5000, I tossed in 50. 100 pc order, I tossed in one. For the last couple years I worked there, we never had another customer complaint about counts, but I did get reprimanded about a customer that reported, and voluntarily paid for, for a surplus 35 pieces on a huge order, something like 10000 pieces.

I'm certain ammo is weigh counted and you'll get somewhere around a 0.5% error, which to me is totally acceptable.

I always have always had 101 in my 100 round WWB bulk packs.

You see, it's the principal. There's principalities in the whole thing.

Now, let's see--You were shorted 1% of the product that you paid for?

Probably $6.99 for a FULL box-that would be 6.9 cents that you were shorted.

You NEED to fire up that 'Ole 4X4' and truck back down to Wally World+demand a refund of 6.9 cents-YEA-use up $5.00-$10.00 worth of fuel+RUN right down there!!

Question is--do they have a 'Nipper' that can cut 1/10th off of that 7th penny??HA HA..Bill.

I don't know what ammo you are paying 6.99 for 100 now a days but sign me up... Considering I was out on a cycle ride about 70miles from my house, I won't be going back anywhere and I doubt they would do anything anyways. Really it was just interesting that a major manufacture would be off in count in the neg. definitely some interesting responses

I just opened up my 100 ct WWB to check how many I have. They gave me 101

Hey that's mine

What does he have to do with the OP being shorted ammo? Did Skinner steal the round?

 

[lpenni]

I have counted a few bulk packs over the years. Never had one with less than the stated amount.
