If only they would not show up all beat up.
Amazon just throws them in a box with no packing.

Did a search on Amazon, couldn't find em. Did find some for around $10 bucks but that was with $6 for shipping.

Here you go. And yes, they don't package them very well.

Not only do they package them horribly, they refuse to post my feedback simply saying that they were improperly packaged. Hmmmm.

Amazon is notorious for doing stuff like that, especially if you haven't written many reviews for them. And yes, don't expect them to be packaged worth a hoot. I just ordered a pellet sizer to try and salvage my JSB King .25's I ordered a while back, I'm not looking forward to the tedious process of doing it but I also don't want to waste the ammo either. Order at your own risk from Amazon, my recommendation is to go with PA or AGD and utilize their buy 4 get one tin free sale they have and that will cover your shipping plus some depending on what all you order.

If you read the reviews on Amazon, especially for JSB pellets, there are a ton of people saying the pellets arrived with dented skirts. Amazon posted those reviews because the reviewers did not blame Amazon. Some thought it was JSB's or the manufacturer's fault, and others just did not mention Amazon's poor packaging, and just described the bad condition of the pellets.
If you directly blame Amazon they will not post your review.
I strongly recommend against buying pellets from Amazon. Almost everyone here that has ordered pellets from them has posted that they arrived damaged due to no packing material in the shipping box. It's not worth it. You will lose $$ when you throw half the pellets out. There are much better vendors out there that a do a great job protecting the tins during shipping.

I bought some cheap priced JSB from Amazon. Not only were some of the tins damaged, but each tin was a different head diameter.
-
My experience has been that tins in blister packs on card backs like H&N fare well in amazon shipping. Loose tins, JSB..., tumble and slam in the box, arriving with significant damage.
-
Well I received my 2 tins of the H&N pellets. Oversized box with bubble packaging 1 Tin did have a couple of very small dents on the bottom of the tin.
Lesson learned.
