Schmoo Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 what a shame, and when it was your first experience of using Just cartridges. I have used them several times before now, without a single hitch. They are always very accomodating, even when I call up late in the day wanting a delivery the next. 1st class service, from my end. Shame it was a different story for yourself. Regards Schmoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 ..only if you have a local gun shop, and if you do, they are cheap I have used them in the past and the service has been faultless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lxtav Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I have used them once and the service was great. They arrived the day they said they would. I can get cartridges cheaper but not the make i want and not without spending a fortune on diesel. So i will be using them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deershooter Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 If you try and buy from our local gunshop you have to have the only type he has in one shot size then he probably dont have 1000 in stock he has been there since the last war and so has some of his stock If he dont know you he dont aklways serve you :lol: Deershooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 ..only if you have a local gun shop, and if you do, they are cheap I have used them in the past and the service has been faultless. Precisely I've used them and their extreme game are a cracking cartridge for the price, in this case it was nothing to do with them simply a courier cock up. My local gunshop will ignore you when you walk in, make the price up depending how well they know you and then have a fairly limited range at that point you might as well shop online for them. This way you don't even need to load them into the car they simply arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I would have taken it personally if I didn't know they did it to everyone from keepers on rather large local estates to the average local bod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I use them they are cheaper than most around here and I drive past near enough past them once a month so just arrange to pick up for me a guys I shoot with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matone Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Just started to use Justcartridges and think it`a great service !I`ve tried to use local dealers for years,they rarely have what you want so you end up with the `these are just as good` that they stock! I`d rather pay slightly more to be using exactly what I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougall Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Whilst I feel slightly guilty for not doing all my gun related shopping at local shops none have impressed me enough to demand my loyalty. I have therefore started with Just cartridges for the convenience of order and forget about it..Having now shot multiple slabs of both their clay and game shells I reckon they are as good as any premium shell so will continue because the product is good enough and the service is great.Whilst cartridges are simply 'product' they lend themselves to this online malarkey perfectly.I know what it is and what I'll get.. simples. For premium items guns/gear/servicing/repairs etc local gunshop and face to face obviously needed...its kind of self-fulfilling as most gunshops find cartridges bulky/low margin/heavy.....ie not a great idea for a retailer....so few hold a wide enough selection to suit all tastes.So either you are happy with whatever your gunshop has,and most will be limited to 1 or 2 brands,or you are lucky and have one of the larger outfits OR you go JC 'coz they have the stock/choice or as I have found a good enough own label job in their own cartridges. CSP Fibre to me is as good a clay shell as there is....great product/great service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiffy Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 ive been tempted by just cartridges for their range and the convenience that i gives as i dont drive so have to rely on shooting friends for getting me to my local dealer or picking up carts for me.. but when a 250 slab of gamebore clear pigeon 32g-6 is £7.75 more than my local shop then i cant do it. ok price comes closer if i buy 1000 but there still the delivery to add and then i have to have a couple of hundred quid spare which doesnt always happen.. are there any other retailers who deliver carts?

Big Mat Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I've look at getting some from but their prices are more than local dealers for all the cartridges i'd want to buy, even with fuel costs it is still cheaper to go local!

welshwarrior Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I also like the idea of a local gunshop but when they won't get the shell I want 28 bore. I go else where JC. I'm now very luck the local cartridge place has the identical range and price as JC no delivery so I just pop over get what I need when I need it off there at the weekend oh it's call just cartridges.
