It probably says right on the website they don’t.
That’s not to say lots of places that say they don’t won’t
Place an order in the $2000-$5000 and see how quickly they don’t follow their own policy

Under MA state law components are considered ammo.

Correct however if they won't ship ammo to MA then it stands to reason they won't ship reloading components.

I have ordered from several suppliers that ship bullets but not powder, primers or ammo.
Think about it, we have trouble interpreting Mass laws and we live here. Companies are just doing what they think is worth the risk.
yup.
I know of a few vendors who will ship powder/primers but won’t ship ammo
Disagreed. Their website should stipulate what, precisely, they do or do not sell/ship to where. I’m sure there are other states which they don’t ship to, that have different definitions for ammunition.
It does, took me 30 seconds to find it.
Like the OP, I still would have placed an order to see if it flew or not. It's what I did years ago when I was buying ammo online pre-TSUSA days. If it was something I really wanted and the websites stated that they wouldn't ship here, I still checked if the website would accept the order.. Didn't cost me anything but time.
Wait. So a company in a 'free state' has to do the research, which I think we'd both agree would require a lawyer to untangle, and stipulate for every state what they will and won't do?
You want the rest of us to have higher prices? Because that's how the rest of us get higher prices. These laws change every year, or you'd at least have to hire a lawyer every year to stay up to date on all 50 states, good or bad, laws change all the time.
Maybe I responded to the wrong person. It's early.
what they need to be is not to be collaborators with the leftist regimes of socialist states and do what all the other numerous companies do - ship components and ammo to any licensed individual.
the tyranny wins not only because it is relentless, but due to the fact that most just obey it or collaborate with it.
Placed an order for 500rnds 17 HMR with them, emailed support a photo of my LTC/Drivers License. They replied 2 days later saying the order was released for shipping. Haven't seen the order actually update yet though (been 3 days).
From their Magazine & Ammo shipping policy page:
Please see your states requirements to purchase and receive ammunition orders. Orders will not be shipped and inventory will not be allocated until we receive the required documentation to ship your order. You must be 18 or older to purchase shotgun or rifle ammunition and 21 or older to purchase handgun ammunition. Always make sure you use the correct ammunition for your firearms. Ammo cannot be shipped to a PO Box.

Massachusetts - A valid/not expired LTC (Firearms License to Carry).
Will update with results when something changes.

How does not shipping bullets make them Fudds?
A Fudd is someone that only cares about "sporting" guns and not the self defense / tacticool Tommy aspects of gun ownership. Someone that says, "You don't need an AR to hunt deer with 30 rounds of high power ammo, but my semi auto Remington .30-06 is perfectly fine because it has a beautiful wood stock and glorious bluing of the metal".
They're not shipping to Mass because Mass has stupid laws and there's not enough right thinking people to change it. And even if you voted to change it, the congress critters would do what they always do, and ignore the voters because they know better. And why not, there's never been any consequence.
Now you're just calling them names because you don't like their shipping policy? This is like the Left's "everyone I hate is Hitler" crap they always pull. They're not Fudds. They're just cowards.

This has worked well for me many times. I keep a scanned image of my LTC right on my desktop for easy retrieval.
Order status has changed to shipped and I have a tracking number, so this thread may not be relevant anymore.

Shipped me an item that needed to be returned, then charged a 15% restocking fee. Whatever. After having the returned item for a week, no refund. I had to dispute the Tac Surplus charges with my CC. I would avoid Tac Surplus - not worth your time or effort. Not on your side - at all...
