Its part of the law now, it was effective January 1st. "All ammunition must be shipped to a dealer with an Ammunition license issued by the duly constituted licensing authorities of any city, town, or political subdivision of the state of Washington". I am also in WA.

Hi David and welcome. No but, likely due to hesitation on Buds part to newly enacted gun laws in Washington.

They now require background check on ammo purchase "When buying ammunition online in Washington State, the buyer must have the ammunition shipped to a licensed dealer or retailer. The ammunition cannot be shipped directly to the buyer's residence. This requirement ensures that the buyer undergoes a background check and complies with all applicable laws before taking possession of the ammunition." https://lexdigest.com/is-it-legal-to-buy-ammo-online-in-washington-state/

Hi David, Section 41.100 of RCW 9.41 mandates that anyone selling ammunition in the state for business purposes ****HAS TO BE REGISTERED**** with the state Department of Revenue to do so. Bud's is ****NOT REGISTERED**** with the state of WA, so all ammunition must be shipped to a dealer with an Ammunition license issued by the duly constituted licensing authorities of any city, town, or political subdivision of the state of Washington. . If Bud's was registered, they could ship ammo to your home. They are not, so must go to FFL. Stay safe & have a great day!
