The money up front pre-order thing definitely stinks. No way I'd do that. Maybe they need the money so they can outfit the factory...!

Many companies take orders for out-of-stock items, but only put the CC charge thru when they ship.

2022 seems like an odd time to start up a new shotshell venture.

sure...old established companies you have dealt with before. i do it all the time. a company you never heard of that's yet to ship anything? they maybe totally legit but no harm in waiting. there is definitely a niche that could use some more product.

If I was considering a business like this, I might put up a website like that to see if there is any real demand. If you get a lot of orders you go into production.

I wouldn't take money up front but maybe this is their slick way to buy components/supplies. Less upfront money...

Just speculating...

Have not purchased any shells from them. Here is the link to Shenk Ammo. Appears to be a manufacturer of pistol/rifle calibers. Appears they are trying to expand. Nothing on their website I could find on the shot shells.

That website smells also. No address, says there are a lot of dealers but no information is provided? And then they have this in one of the website sections?...

Default Stay away from this company!

Buyers Beware.
I found this so called ammo supplier while searching online because RST was back logged. So, to test the waters, back on Oct. 19, 2023 I ordered 3 boxes of 12 Ga. #6 shot, "The Grouse" which their website indicated was in stock. As of today, 12/3/23 I still do not have my order. After multiple emails, On 11/7/23 I finally received a email from them apologizing for the delay and saying the order was shipped with a tracking # from UPS. To date the UPS website says, "shipping label created". They will not respond to emails. If they were up front and there was communication, a little honesty this normaly would not be a problem. Not a good way to start up a business. especially online where word of mouth and bad reviews travel quickly. So boys and girls, you may want to think twice before trusting your hard earned money with Shenk Shotshell.
