After a short delay due to actually having to sign for this item and could not be held at the local FED-EX office/store, I had to go to the terminal and pick it up in person. Everything intact, no breaks, loose ammo rounds, no box damage.
I got a box with three buckets tossed inside, not fancy with an "X" brace like your pics!
I did notice something odd while putting it in range boxes last night.
It looks like I have two different kinds of AMMO. Two buckets are kinda dingy looking brass with silver colored primers and one bucket is bright shiny brass with brass primers. The OAL is different between the two also. The Rem logos/stamping are different on the base of the casings also.
Just got mine. Fancy X thing, completely intact. Submitted rebate, will mail later and begin waiting. I am generally weary of rebates but so far I’m 6/6 out of the various gun related rebates this year.

I rather enjoyed the "peel n stick" upc tags on the buckets. Sure beats trying to peel the paper ones off the ammo cans.
I ordered one of Academy's 350 round 9mm packs. Smaller the size of 5 boxes of ammo. Maybe about the size of a toaster. I also ordered two boxes of rifle ammo, 40 rounds.
Academy shipped them same day, separate boxes. The 9mm ammo came in a box 10 times larger than necessary, like a medium household packing box! And instead of putting the rifle ammo in there, they shipped it in a separate box several times larger than needed, almost a medium flat rate shipping box. I can fit 9 or 10 ammo boxes in it. Can't imagine what they paid to ship my $90 order.
Oh, and FedEx mis delivered it to a different neighborhood. Thankfully the honest guy got my phone number off the package and called me.

That would go a long way towards making me feel about FedEx the way some of you guys do.
I don't know if anyone else clicked through retailmenot for the cash back but I got cash back approval email from them today. I clicked through and did 3 separate orders of the 9mm bucket and 1 ar mag and got back $45 total.
