Did not deliver but took payment

I purchased ammo from Ultimate Arm Store llc online via Paypal. They suggested I send payment to a personal address to avoid scrutiny by Paypal who does not deliver Ammo. I also paid for overnight delivery. After the payment was verified they sent me a tracking number to a 3rd party shipper. The next day the 3rd party shipper contacted me and requested an insurance payment equal to the purchase of $534 . They claimed it would be refunded on delivery. I refused as thst was not in my agreement and I did not hire them. The seller who made the arangement will not refund the payment to me and the Shipper is holding the package hostage some where. either way I did not recieve it on time or at all. Do not recommend Doing any business with Ultimate Arm Stre Llc or its agents. Total Scam

May not be a scam, but it's shady for sure.

I wanted to make an order using PayPal. When I clicked on the PayPal button, I wasn't redirected to the PayPal site like I am every other time I buy things online. I did, however, receive a confirmation email with an order number.

I contacted customer service via chat. I was told that to send money using PayPal could only be done with the Friends & Family option, not the Goods & Services. There's no protection for me that way. When I said that I would send it with the Goods & Services option and even pay extra for the fees that the business would incur, I was denied.

The man offered to give me a 5% discount if I used the Zelle app to pay. I don't have Zelle or know anything about it. I did a little research and discovered that there's no protection for me, the consumer, with Zelle. I told him that wouldn't work for me and again offered to send money with PayPal and pay extra for the Goods & Services fee. He shot me down again.

All-in-all it was just shady. He seemed very adamant that the only way I could pay was at my own risk. That's just not how businesses should be run, in my opinion. It may be a legitimate business but it does not seem like it to me.

On March 8, 2022, I purchased ammunition from an online store at https://ultimatearmstore.com/. I chose the option to purchase with Google Pay. After a couple days with no further communication on how to finalize the sale, I decided to contact the telephone number listed on its website. Nobody answered the call, so I left a brief voicemail. Moments later, I received a text message saying "Hello, I just missed your call." The following is the series of messages that me and the company representative texted to each other.

After no response from the representative, I again, called the number listed on the website. again, nobody answered, so I left a voicemail. Again, I received a text back.

[3/17/22 6:40 PM] (904) 290-1102: Ok. thank you

[3/17/22 6:41 PM] Me: [censored] yall. I had to cancel my card and pay $25 to expedite a new one. and still have to have that money come out of my account. [censored] YALL

My problem is, it was never expressed to me that the person I sent the money to the first time via Google Pay, no longer worked with the company. I shared with the second person I was dealing with, a screenshot of who I sent the money to at the very beginning of our conversation, before they went to check on the order status, and before making a second purchase. I really don't know if this company is a scam, or if they just have horrible business practices which makes customers financially vulnerable. Either way, I was force to immediately cancel my bank card and order a new one.
