Crate Holdings Ammo website?

[Rural Ruger]

Anyone use Crate Holdings before? Rates seem to be in line with or better than most places on some of what they carry. Not necessarily the cheapest on everything, but seeing some ok deals mixed in. 10mm and 357 for $.50/rd, 300 BO Fiocchi SST for $1.00/rd. Shipping seems fair too.

Never heard of them, but there are a gazillion places that most of us never hear about.

I'd lean towards legit. Prices aren't too low to believe and they do take credit cards. Scammers only take paypal and zelle.

Website first appeared july 1st, 2022. Phone number is a random guy in MD. No address listed on the site as far as I can find, which is a big red flag. Called number and went to voicemail with no voicemail set up. Big red flag.

Even if they take credit card, they may just be harvesting credit card info. Unless you can get someone to pick up hte phone and answer "crate holdings, how can i help you", huge red flag. Ask what state they ship from, town, address. Literally any legit place will gladly provide you with that. Then google the address and look at it on the street.

Load up google maps, look at maryland, look for crate holdings, zero results. Expand to all america, still no results.

5.56 green tip is the same price as sportsman guide. I don't see anything to gain, and I see a massive headache if you use them. And sportsman guide has 4pay via sizzle.

I'd say scam 100%. If they were an up and comer, they'd want to get themselves out in front of everything possible, including address, phone, google maps, etc. Some foreigner looking to scam you.
