Anyone have any experience using Winchesterprimers.com (https://winchesterprimers.com) ?
I find it odd that their Homepage shows they accept VISA / MC PayPal and a few other "Fund Sites"
But when you go to place an order .... no VISA, no MC options, just Zelle, venmo, Bitcoin and Cas App
I messaged Winchester Corporate, asked if WinchesterPrimers.com is a legit Winchester Site
They answered right back with a "NO"

All those digital or whatever you call them pay sites is a dead giveaway to a scam!!! If Natchez, Brownells, Midway and the like don't have any how in the heck do these jokers????? Run Peter Run

Another scam site just like CZ. DW, Powder supply.com and all the rest. Go to their contact page and it says they are in Chicago! Ahahaha a Winchester outlet in Chicago is a dead giveaway it's a scam without the rest. Would be fun to call them up and ask if one could stop in and pick up some products just too see what the response would be.

Saw some buzz about them on another site where people transferred money and never received product.

Very unfortunate that people allow themselves to get rooked by these garbage sites. This is a classic example of if the deal is too good to be true it probably is just that. No one has any large supply of components like these guys claim to have. Everyone is still limiting the amount you can buy.
I was playing around on their website and it let me put 300,000 Winchester SP's in the cart for a total of $21,000. Slow down and look things over before you jump. Better yet just stay with the outlets we all are familiar with and even then look it over to be sure someone hasn't copycatted a legit website. Like was posted above if Midway and Natchez can't get these items in stock there's no way some Johnny come lately is going to move to the front of the line over established retailers.

Thanks for all the replies
Yeah, not going there, BUT I will be having fun, messing with these crooks over the next few days
Received an e-mail today, asking if I want to proceed using PayPal, so I sent them this:
"Sure, send me a PayPal invoice, showing charges for the items and you can add on the PayPal Transaction fee (2.5%+/-) if that helps"

These hustlers are getting smarter. Making you believe they are legit by showing you CC's are accepted, and then dropping the hammer on you at check out. Clever.
-
You did the correct thing by verifying if the company was legit prior to sending money to a company you had suspicions about...
Nice job...
