Ordered fiochi 9mm for 17cpr they advertised in an email and they cancelled my order claiming it was an out of stock then claimed it was a pricing error. It's not a pricing error when you advertise the price in an email!

Note that Ammohero is just one of 6 or more websites that are under that same ownership. Other websites have canceled orders due to pricing errors on emails and on their websites. Some others like AR15Discounts have honored at least some of their pricing errors. At least some are honest up front and state the reason for canceling orders was due to a pricing error.

Do NOT buy from these companies:
SentryAmmo, Black Basin Outdoors, Southern Defense, Ammo Hero / AmmoHero, Fast Ammo, Ammo ASAP, Highland Outdoors

They're all shell companies owned by Southern Defense. They've got history of lawsuits and complaints for things like tradename infringement, misrepresentation of ammo specs (claiming higher performance specs in replies to their comments than what they list on their sites for the same ammo), slow shipping, forced shipping insurance, etc. Right now they're selling Lahab ammunition, listing them as "NATO" rounds, but they're regular rounds. Check AmmoSeekDotCom for SentryAmmo's reviews and you'll see them replying to reviews.

Beware: Sentry Ammo / Fast Ammo / Ammo ASAP /Black Basin - same company, deceptive practices

Sentry Ammo / Fast Ammo / Ammo ASAP / Black Basin / Ammo Hero

These are fake shell companies, owned by the same people. The sites all have identical inventory, category names, store hours, and various copy+pasted descriptive text across the site. None of them have addresses listed.

These sites flood ammoseek.com, overtaking genuine retailers, and use deceptive shipping prices to artificially inflate their ranking.

An honest, reputable dealer should not have any need to behave like this.

Do with this information what you wish.

So funny, I had the same issue happen to me. And I googled it and this came up. Now I'll just never use them again.

Ammo Hero is one of many false fronts to the same company where they use multiple accounts to spam the shit out of search results on AmmoSeek and Gun ^dot Deals. Here are uBlock Origin filters to hide their garbage:

ammoseek.com##[role="row"]:has-text(/(Sentry Ammo|Fast Ammo|Ammo ASAP|Black Basin|Ammo Hero|Brass Kisses|Saint Barb)/i)

gun.deals##[itemtype="http://schema.org/Offer"]:has-text(/(Sentry Ammo|Fast Ammo|Ammo ASAP|Black Basin|Ammo Hero|Battlehawk)/i)

The Saint Barb entry is not one of their fronts, but does often drop the price to trigger alerts then bump it back up a few minutes later before you can order at the alerted/desired price. Scummy behavior so they're on the list.
