FOR SALE Buyer beware Reloading Depot

[Jerry Simon]

I made a purchase on 9/24 from the Reloading Depot. I have not been able to get any response from them about my order after no less than 5 phone calls, emails and online chats.
I guess my money has been stolen.

According to Google it is a scam.

It looks like it is. Saw this in another group! https://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=81340.0

Thanks for the heads up. Sorry you got taken.

I always do a google search of a company I haven't used before, something along the lines of "Is ReloadingDepot.com legit? forum"

It almost always has someone who has asked the same question and often times people with the answer. Seems like a ton of these fraud sites popped up around 2020.

Do not buy from any online company that the only payment method is paypal. You will never see that product or money again.

Unfortunately, scams and disappointment when dealing with ‘people’ are nothing new, it’s the world we live in. I remember sending in cereal box tops sometime in the 1960s to a Battle Creek Michigan cereal company for a submarine. Hasn’t been delivered yet, but I hold out hope. I’ve moved a few times, but my mother is still at the same address. The bathtub is ready if and when it arrives.

PayPal will refund your money if you used the standard payment method, if it was F&F you're out of luck. PayPal is pretty serious about fraud and will try to come to the bottom of the issue it may take a week or two but it's certainly worth a shot.

I dumped PayPal cause they are hardcore anti gun. As I understand it if you bought any gun related thing with PayPal you are sol cause it’s against their policy. I hope I’m wrong so you can get your $ back.

I got one, in the 50's, along with 3 frogmen

That name rang a bell, Alarm Bell. I seem to recall this outfit popping up back during the severe shortages and they always had stock. Even items manufacturers weren't producing - Hodgdon 4895 for example, which they still aren't making. Primers and the like. If Brownells, BPS, large regional retailers can't get it, neither can these guys.

 

[Jappo]

If you used a credit card your in luck. Otherwise no idea what you can do.

 

[Medicine Bow]

Sure sign it's a scam are the payment methods. They accept Zelle, Cash App and PayPal. Why no credit cards?

I remember that submarine. You put an asprine in it and it would dive and resurface. Sorry you missed out!

I think it was an Alka-Seltzer, which was too expensive for more than 1 mission.
I guess I had one, too, or something similar.
Old memories are stirring...

 

[Tom A Hawk]

Yes its a scam. I got suckered a few months ago on some primers. Payment went to a Vietnamese name. Live and learn.

Well, PayPal will take care of it you used goods and services. Usually.

Here ya go file a complaint with namesilo the url host .
Removed the link to not cause confusion.
You can search the reloading depot via Whois and at least get close enough to file a complaint.
I've filed several so maybe a really mean letter will get some attention.

Another old memory that is not part of the original topic.... the material used was baking powder that made CO2 bubbles to change buoyancy. Look on line and you can still find new ones for $3.99
