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...!

i'll wait till they are actually in business and shipping product.

This company, at least the phone number, is in Glen Rock, York county.

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?...

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.
