Can I buy ammo online and have it shipped to my house?

Generally no, vendor pickup

Generally not to your door. For most buyers, an online ammunition order is delivered to a licensed California vendor for face-to-face pickup, where an eligibility check runs before you can take it with you. Penal Code section 30312(c) lists exceptions, for example, certain licensed collectors who hold a current certificate of eligibility.
