(if this needs to be moved or deleted I'm fine with that, I just normally post in this section)
We ordered some JSB pellets :

from DAK Sports inc. http://www.airgunsonly.com/frames.html (click on "online catalog") good email communication, after we placed our order it said "US customers must call and confirm" which I did and got an answering machine, left our order # and email addy and recieved an email the next day saying we were good to go. We ordered on -11-10-08 and recieved them 11-27-08 packaged well with no dmage to tins or pellets.
So maybe find a friend or two and stock up at about $8.00 per tin delivered, H&N pellets are even cheaper if you happen to use those.

Holy-Smokes!!! That's the 'mother load' right there. Checked out that sight before, but your pix really speaks "VOLUMES". Nice price too!
I've thought of trying out the Straton pellets, although I'm not a big fan of pointers. Has anyone tried these pellets before? What's your take on them?!?!?!? tjk

Great deal but it looks like they don't carry .20 cal (http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-frown.gif)

Am I seeing that picture correctly? Is there 9 tins per sleeve of pellets? So if you got 5 sleeves of 9 tins of 500 pellets each, you got 22500 pellets. Their website lists case lots at 25000 pellets, which would be 5 sleeves of 10 tins of 500 each. Am I missing something here?

I saw several choices in 5.0mm (.20 cal)

I'll check it out again...all I saw was .177 and .22, hmmmmm might be my old timers vision(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif)
OK, I found them on the order page...Thanks

Thanks spysir...I ordered a sleeve today. JSB .20 cal with 8 tins to the sleeve. Total with expected delivery to Florida 12/15/08 for $96.08 ($120.55 Canadian). I emailed Derek last night and he phoned me today to complete the order. He was great to talk to and was able to answer all my questions. All should go smooth unless it gets held up at customs (http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-surprised.gif)
David
...edit for price change...

That's the only JSB pellet (Stratton) my HW77 shoots good with! Loves H&N pellets so I ordered a sleeve, a Christmas present to myself!
-
They came fast...guess Customs didn't slow it down (http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif)They were packed good and arrived without damage.
-
Cool! I wish the company would email me back. I sent them a message to see how many tins of H&N pellets were included in each sleeve/order. The website is vague at best.

That's strange Bill...I emailed them and the next day the guy called me and we completed the order over the phone. Did you email your telephone number?

Yes, I included my phone. I wasn't trying to make an order, I was just trying to determine how many pellets were in the order to figure out if it was a good deal or not.
-
I figured I'd see if anyone wants to go in on a group purchase so that any one of us wouldn't have to lay out a bunch of money at once.
-
i would go in for that...but how would shipping costs work out?...could be costly that way, actually...

OK, Derek finally got back to me. The H&N FT Trophys are 6 per sleeve and the Baracuda Match are 8/sleeve. So the deal is not nearly as good on the H&N pellets. Unfortunately, he is mostly out of .22 size JSB Exacts right now. Even when he does get them back in stock, his normal prices on the .22 are not much better than Pyramyd if you get 4 tins for the price of 3. In a case lot, they might be better though, but he doesn't have much listed right now to compare.
-
Well.... I ordered a sleeve (HAH! 6 tins!) on December 5 and STILL haven't got it yet! I sent emails and no reply, called and no one answers. What is up?
-
I just got an email from Derek at DAK.
I said:Aloha.
I ordered some pellets from you on December 5, 2008. where is my order? I have not received it yet. My order number is 1456. My name is Clifford Espiritu and I live in Miami, zip is 33157. I have tried calling but no one answers. I heard you were good to deal with on the GTA forum and ....what happened?
Mahalo,
Cliff
I got a return email in % 1/2 hours!
Hi Cliff,
Did you not receive my email? I very well may have missed sending one to you and I apologize for that.
I am out of stock on your pellet order. I am awaiting a stock order at this time still.
I have not billed your credit card and will not until the ordered is filled and shipped. I do understand if you wish to cancel, and I apologize again for not following up with you.
Derek
I stand corrected and will remain a customer. And that's all i need from a vendor....and good prices! haha
Mahalo Derek!
