	I've been trying to find someone that has Unique in stock so I did an online search. I ordered four pounds from a company called Reloading Depot USA because the price was very low and they said that it was in stock. Shortly afterwards I got an Email from them saying that they needed payment which I thought that I had done with a credit card. Turns out that they don't take cards, only a payment method that I had never heard of. I then really checked them out and found that everyone that has done business with them has been ripped off. I then sent them an Email saying that I found out that their company was less than trustworthy and to cancel my order and to not contact me again. An hour ago I got a flowery Email from them that simply said "F---ing Idiot" Caveat Emptor

	Where did you get or see "Reloading Depot's" advert..? I typed in their name: Is reloading Depot USA legit? AI Overview No, Reloading Depot USA is not considered legit. Handloading and shooting communities, as well as the Better Business Bureau Scam Tracker, strongly flag this site as a scam. Key red flags associated with the site include: Payment Methods: Demanding non-refundable/non-recourse payment methods like Zelle or Venmo. Unrealistic Inventory: Listing hard-to-find components (such as large magnum rifle primers) as "in stock" while other major retailers are sold out. Suspicious Pricing: Offering extremely low, "too good to be true" prices on components and powder.

	Any company that sells anything, but doesn't accept credit cards should send off alarms! The scammers and thieves all want some sort of payment that wont allow you to dispute a charge. And of course, if the price is too good to be true, it's not true.

	Why yes Joe, if I was to somehow magically get back all the stuff that's been stolen from me, I'd have a room full of nice furniture and some damn nice guns!

	Telemarketers are my bane.I get 15 calls a day on my cell and about the same on my landline. I worked for Ma Bell for 36 yes. Telco could stop it but they make money selling service to the bastards.

	If you can't beat them- tell them you're interested and put them on hold.... If there was no law or prohibition it would be gratifying to send them a "Expanding" Glitter package...
