Buying Quail & Turkey Feed

[quailmale]

why can you not buy feed over the internet, I have typed it several ways but it tells you where to go buy it ( at a store ) but not the Internet. Just thought it might be easier than getting local Feed store to get just 1 or 2 bags of things they usually do not sell. Just one of those idle moment questions.

I used to order feed to be shipped to the house. It was dog food but still. Shipping was horrific tho...

Purina does not sell directly to the public. You have to purchase it from a store that sells Purina. I called the Purina Office and that is what they told me.

Thanks, I realize most distributors do not sell direct, I was making a comment
That almost everything else is available off the net
I have even bought dog food, but cannot find any game bird feed.
For some dumb reason the mom and pop feed stores can order you
Single bags but the chains ( TSC ) have to buy either 1000 lbs, or
2 pallets but not single bags even though the feed web site says they carry it.
Ok so I go to mom pop store ( 20 miles away) bad side is they
Need about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks lead time, I guess I'm just venting OUT LOUD.

OK I'm better now, thanks

No problem. I glad that you got it out. When you need to vent again, just come back and post and I will reply again.

I found out last night he is ordering it from another Mom-Pop and he picks up from him once a week, So the first guy orders it take 3-4 days and then the number 2 guys takes 3-4 to pick it up. But he has made a mistake last night, when he called to check availability he inadvertantly spoke out loud the last 4 digits of his "Distributor" phone and I recognized the number, so now I know who he gets it from and I can eliminate him and go straight to the number one guy plus number one is cheaper--no middle man. Only problem is he is 25 miles away but I go buy there sort of on the way home from work. WHEW, what a soap opera deal this is.

Side Note: I think those cross-eyed Pigeons might sell as a novelty breed, Just thinkin...........
