You order them from Trenier. I got my order of pellets from Trenier today. As always they were packed like fine china. I ordered 20 tins of pellets and all individually packed in bubble envelopes. Like anyone else I like a bargain but it usually comes with poor packaging and banged up pellets. I won't bash vendors but I will brag on good ones. Trenier has good prices and fair shipping costs. Paying perhaps a little bit more easily justifiable when your pellet tins arrive like this. Plus I like supporting smaller businesses. 
When you care how your pellets arrive.....

It amazes me that people spend crazy money on their airgun rig and then skimp on pellets. Even when buying good brand pellets, they dont work as good as they should if they're all banged up. I'm not sizing or sorting pellets by any means, but pellets should at least get to me undamaged. Skimping on pellets is like skimping on car tires or fishing line. Skimping on any of these key ingredients can be very costly.

I have had the same same excellent packaging and care from Jeff at Trenier. I should buy from him more frequently. I have never been disappointed with a purchase from him.

He is always quick to reply to email also. I had a birthday and my family never knows what to get. I inquired about a gift code and he sent the link quick.

I have had good luck with pellets from Pyramyd, They wasn't pact like that! but they have done a good job incasing them in foam.

PA does an excellent job of packaging their pellets. I usually look for alternatives because I find their marketing a little deceptive. I'll leave it at that. All in all they're a safe place to do business with.

I live 20 minutes or so from Pyramyd Air so I pick up. They pack the pellets the same way for shipping or pick up in person.
The only down side to PA is we have to pay sales tax, which of course is a fact of life. But on expensive items like guns, it hurts, that’s where they might lose some sales to UA.
A friend recently scored a great deal from PA on a RAW .22, 20% off. That’s a great deal on an upper tier airgun.

If you haven't noticed it yet and you're happy with them there's no reason for me to elaborate on what I already said. I still use PA but I prefer to use other vendors first.

Maybe I can elaborate from my point of view. They advertise that they care about your purchase and offer testing of operation and function for fees. But, many folks usually pass on those services since they actually exceed the cost of shipping. Look at how many posts on this very forum are about or contain content regarding a leaky or faulty gun that must be returned to PA. (I'd rather pay a lil more to a retailer that provides those services arbitrarily.)
I have called the sales staff to get more details on a gun in the $750-$1000 range and they immediately "pimp" the Avenge X as hard as they can. They justify it by informing the customer that THEY actually partook in the research and development of that product so it's a "hands down" best choice. This just informs me that they are making more than the price mark-up to MSRP.
I don't have any issues with PA and I buy most of my ammo from them BECAUSE of how they package them. I choose to buy my airguns elsewhere because (as a consumer) it is MY responsibility to find the deals that make the most sense to ME.

I am not standing up for Pyramyd but I will say you will definitely see more reports of issues with places like Pyramyd, Utah and AOA because of the pure volume of sales, my guess is percentage wise it would be pretty small.

I've not had them individually packed before but sure looks like a good way?
I always order a minimum of 10 tins. They come packed in a cylinder shape, are shrink wrapped then rolled in two layers of foam and rolled in one layer of cardboard. Never have I ever had damaged pellets.

Hand wraps all of the tins in their own bubble envelope and is still cheaper than the big stores. Buy 4 get 1 free still evens out to Jeff's lower priced tins when you get none of them free. At the big store prices you really don't get a free one.

Man, they did do a good job of packaging up those pellets! Last time I ordered from PA, the pellets were "decently" packed, and arrived with minimal being kicked around a bit, but not to that level.
