CPHP's https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006O74XQ0/ref=cart_bc_item_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006O74XQ0/ref=cart_bc_item_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1)

Thanks….I would like to order …but most likely come USPS and @ the moment delivery is hit or miss…..good luck

The fact that they are on a card makes safe travels more likely. It's not as much USPS as it is Amazon's weak packing that causes issues.

The HP .22 tin is $6.24 while the .177 is $10.95, riddle me that...
-
Supply and demand.

I'll see your "riddle me this" and raise you a, "why were the CPHP's $14.99 a tin last week?"

Fair point. Guess that's the magic of the Amazon algorithm at work.

I do not have any of the made in Brazil .22 CPHP 14.3 yet... guess will get a tin just to see if thye still work well enough to use...
-
They were shipping free tins like that with the C362, many claims nasty pellets.

Perhaps I misunderstand.
The Amazon listing says Made in USA
-
My new .22 CPHP with the new design lid that I bought at Walmart for the same $6.24 have Made in USA with globally sourced components.
Not Made in Brazil on these and they are the new lid design.
-
click on picture of back of card after clicking on The CPHP .22...
still same lhp22 but says made in Brazil... two months or so ago I ordered same listing and then they were still the made in America... and the pic in listing showed that on back of card... now the listing shows made in Brazil on back of card...

Now I'm curious. I just ordered a tin to see how they compare to the US made CPHP.

So disappointed to hear Crosman has inched closer still to abandoning making the quality pellets they produced a decade ago.

Still have plenty of CPHPs but I've gotten rather fond of the Daisy/Winchester/Gamo HPs too. Just glad there's options on the cheaper side.

I bought 7 tins of .22 for $6.24 each and 6 tins of .177 a7 $7.74 each a week or two ago from Amazon... 13 tins of 500 pellets for under a hundred bucks, shipped.
They are in the new style tins and are made in USA with globally sourced materials. They were packed in an appropriate-sized box and arrived in great shape. I haven't shot any of them yet.

My issue is with USPS non delivery….lol…not the packing…

I always get my USPS stuff (so far!). My Amazon shipments always seem to induce worrying when they arrive. They tend to use boxes that are far too large with little or no padding to protect the items from shipping damage or each other, and they use a single tape band to "seal" the package. Lots to times, the Amazon boxes have arrived with open gaps plenty large enough for small items to fall out but I've been lucky... again, so far.
-
I do not buy anything from Amazon due to their poor packaging resulting in damaged goods. I know some of you will tell me to send them back, but the next box will be damaged as well. Not worth the trouble to me .

Makes me wonder if that's an Amazon mistake or an intentional misrepresentation

Those are the same prices I saw at Walmart this morning. I didn't grab any because I have plenty.

I live in the sticks, 25 miles from the nearest WalMart, so I take advantage of having them shipped to my door for the same price. I mail order a lot of things. My trips to the recycling center consists primarily of cardboard!
Now, if I could just find some cheap mail-order eggs... ;)
-
I hear ya.... 25 miles to my nearest Walmart as well. I'm also in the sticks. I just happened to get up this morning with the urge to get out so I went for a ride. Went to TSC and Walmart. I didn't even buy anything.

Throw in Harbor Freight and you have my favorite bargain shopping trifecta! ;D No way I can hit all three and not buy something...
I got in a little shooting with the new HW35E this morning but now the snow has started. We're forecasted to get another nasty storm today: wet snow followed by rain. My old and frail snowblower does not like that combination.
-
Had I gone the other direction for 25 miles I could have hit all three..... and a Lowes to boot.

Anyone remember the days when Japan was beginning to export items to the U.S.
(transistor radios etc)
Many of the products were labeled "Made in USA"
And USA is a city in Japan
-
Mine came in the new tin... made in US also... wonder what they are up to..?
Trying to set up using same model # and can for both so you do not know what you are getting in the future..?
or just plans to switch production to Brazil..?
Guess will just have to watch and see...
sort of like Daisy/Winchester... Change the pellets but do not tell anyone...

The difference is that the Daisy/Winchester switch was a good thing. Gamo is making decent pellets for them, but Crosman is going in the other direction.

well the old Winnie 9.8g domed were very good in my .177 pumpers and the 9.8g hollows do well in a couple of my .177 pcps... not having much luck with the new ones... the new Daisys are better than the old Daisy .177...but the old Daisy were really bad in my rifles...
the new Crosman 7.4 pointed well they look like the old daisy pointed and in my rifles are as bad as the old Daisys...
The old Crosman pointed actually did very well in one of my 2100bs and ok in my 1377s...
Crosman hollowpoints still do better than the new Daisy/Winnie in my rifles... will have to see about the Brazil stuff if they show up... tis not trending well tho...
