I’ve used Recoil exclusively now for years and figured it’s time to review. Ive made countless ammo purchases with Recoil over the last many years and am happy every time I do. Their stock is typically great, prices are great and shipping is secure/quick. Never one issue and frankly at this point, I don’t expect any in the future. Solid company, thank you!

Thanks Ryan for the kind words. We are striving to meet or exceed our customers expectations every day. Please let us know if we ever don't and we'll take care of it.
Had previous orders with them. Shipped fast. They are kind of expensive but did not mind because the service was fast. That has changed. My last order was stuck in processing for five days. I requested a refund and received one promptly.
Will try them in a few months to see if things improved.
One month sense my order of almost $400 worth of shotgun ammo. Oder status still reads as "processing" on website. I've received nothing in the mail, nor have I been able to get in touch with anyone. I've sent two messages through their website and sent an email to one of the staff members listed as contacts on the website. I do not trust this business at this point.
Revision: A rep. got back with me, apologized, explained the situation and refunded me within reasonable time. The situation pit a glitch in my tactical training schedule, AND I appreciate their efforts and attention. About to give them another shot.

David, we are sorry for what happened with your order and we are putting a plan in place to avoid the situation from reoccurring. A full refund of your money has been processed.
This is the only online ammo store I would use! They have a decent inventory in stock, great prices, extremely good specials and fast delivery. A friend told me recoil gunworks was his supplier and never had an issue. They are now mine.
My first experience was fantastic and I will be back! After my order was placed I asked a question regarding my order and got an immediate response from customer service. I placed an order on the evening of the13th and it was delivered on the 17th! Kudos to them for a wonderful job!
Excellent service. They filled my order promptly and allowed me to correct the model and type of item I had inadvertently ordered. Highly recommended sales staff.
Two day shipping with fedex from Utah to Arizona. 1-3 day order processing. These guys fu**ing rock at shipping firearms. If I could hug you I would. Thanks for the rifle I love my Savage axis 2 xp in mossy oak.
These guys fun Rock no BS straight to business⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I bid on some 500 rounds of .22 cci stingers for new 10/22 tactical I bought for my son. A birdie told me to check compatibility. It turns out that stingers are ok for regular Ruger 10/22 but not for the closer tolerances of the Ruger 10/22 Tactical or Target models. I reached out to them and they said no worries will ship $110. Dollars worth of mini mags. 8 or 9packs of 100 at 13.99 per..Same diff
overpriced, but I was in dire need of bullets so I purchased. Waited 3 months, nothing. Sent two emails, they only responded to one. I asked for a refund, they immediately said they would refund my money on the order I no longer need. That was 10 days ago and nothing has happened.

Jaclyn,
You purchased this order on 10/17/21 and we sent an email to you on 10/18 requesting an email copy of your IL FOID card in order to process your order. We never received your FOID card and that is the reason your order never shipped. We do apologize for the delay in getting your refund processed, the refund has now been processed and you will receive a receipt via email.
This company delivers what you order for ammo. No, delivery is not instantaneous like a lot of things in our life. But my order was correct and shipped within a week. Happy.
It's been 2 weeks and I still haven't received my ammunition order, so I asked for a refund if it wasn't already shipped. More time passes, and I was told there payment processing was down, and they would refund my order once is was up and running. Not a great experience thus far.
I have been buying from this company for a little more than a year and have found them to be everything they claim. Fair, fast and accurate. I'm a hunter, vet, and retired LE and having a good supplier for my ammo and other products is important especially these days.

It’s almost impossible to get in touch with someone at recoil gunworks, I placed an order for a G22 magazine 3 days ago and it still says my order status is “in progress”. I’ve texted the number provided for support, emailed and called, no response. If I knew it would’ve taken this long to ship i would’ve bought a new mag in store, but I guess I couldn’t pass up on the price.
I placed my order ($2,500+ order) on April 28. My card was charged the same day. It is now May 5th and my order still shows as "In Progress". I have called and emailed the company but have received no response. Either a scam of a company or just terrible customer service. I would not recommend buying from them.

Hard to find your order since it was under another name.
Your order shipped the same day you wrote this. We had employees out with covid and have been a bit delayed. All back now and catching up.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.
I bought 38 special. Ordered on a Saturday received the following Friday. Given the climate, no issues with it. Blazer brass. Shot fiddy rounds, yes I said fiddy, no issues. I added them to my list of folks I buy Ammo from. Good communication via email through the process.
