Some counties prohibit receiving ammunition by common carrier. (I'm in Los Angeles county; legal here and I've never had a problem.) AFAIK cheaperthandirt.com still ships to California with no restrictions.
I think some companies are just scared when they read all the hoopla about serialized ammunition and such, so they try to avoid headaches by simply not shipping to some states.
If you want to buy locally, Turner's usually has deals on ammo. I was there yesterday and picked up a few boxes of Blazer Brass for $11 each (.45ACP).
