Question:Are the ammo cans supposed to come with the tamper proof seal attached? I've seen them in the store with the metal wire with seal so a little surprised. I didn't want to use this anytime soon but mine came with a zip tie on it. I was able to submit my rebate online with no issues. Thanks - Mario (10/18/2017)
Response:Hi Mario, please advise James how you submitted the rebate as it would help him. As for the seal, sometimes they use the zip tie and other times they use the metal seal. We've have seen it both ways. Thank you for visiting TargetSportsUSA.com
Question:Sure, I just entered the UPC on the ammo can, I check and double checked. Here is the website. It didn't give me a problem. I'll let you know if I don't get my rebate but I got my last one. https://sporting.myonlinerebate.com/11660/ - Mario (10/20/2017)
Response:Thank you Mario, and hopefully this will help.... Thank you for visiting TargetSportsUSA.com
Question:The UPC code is not eligible for the rebate yet you continue to market this as "rebate available". Other customers and I have pointed this out and the issue has not been addressed. Telling Ronald F. and other buyers to "just send it in" is not good customer service nor acting in good faith. Target Sports is the FIRST place I go (and many others) to shop ammo. How will you act to preserve this brand loyalty? - james (10/16/2017)
Response:James, please note that Federal/Vista is offering this rebate, not us. We are not sure what you mean that this UPC is not accepted. I am looking at the rebate right now and this is one of the products that qualifies for free shipping. XM855F1 AC1 5.56X45MM 62GR FMJ BALL CLIPPED/420 420 0-29465-56378-3 $21.00..........................................If you email me at sales@targetsportsusa.com or call me at 860-426-9886 (Sam) I can show you as well.................Thanks
Question:Thank you for responding. The UPC on the box you sent out is: 0-29465-06318-9 the closest number on the rebate form is: 0-29465-56318-9 therein lies the discrepancy. The rebate form on-line will tell you if the UPC you enter is valid after it is typed into the form. The UPC on the ammo you have sent out is not valid for the rebate TARGETSPORTS advertises. thank you. I look forward to your response - james (10/16/2017)
Response:I am on it... Will keep you posted. Thanks
Question:A scan of the label has been email to you. I really appreciate your assistance with this. - james (10/16/2017)
Response:This is the UPC code they have on the rebate form and on the ammo can as well: 029465563189
Question:The UPC on the ammo sold: 0-29465-06318-9 The UPC on the rebate form: 0-29465-56318-9 The difference is the second numeral 5. - james (10/16/2017)
Response:The zero in red below, indicates the cans were purchased by TS in case lots. Jalen at Federal's rebate center informed me that the UPC number on the cans of ammo TS sold WILL be accepted despite the single digit deviation from what appears on the rebate form. Please post this information on your Q&A portion of the listing and save yourself and your customers some worry and headache. (and try to follow up on your promises, eh?) 0-29465-06318-9 is on the cans many have received from TS 0-29465-56318-9 is on the rebate form. Both will be3 accepted. Thanks for playing.
