Of the two I would much rather buy from Powder Valley, always upfront with pricing and shipping. Lester Bruno seems to add in mystery upcharges so it always costs more than expected.

boatanchor, Lester Bruno seems to add in mystery upcharges so it always costs more than expected. I sure know I paid more than I wanted, but I more so wanted the powder. When I can get the same product for a better price I go for it. When I checked I couldn't find any until I discovered that company. I never did business with them before.

How do you get the full shipping price from powder valley? While I like using them I don't get the final amount until I purchase a product. Usually powder. This then doesn't let me compare the full price with other on-line dealers.

This then doesn't let me compare the full price with other on-line dealers. Try calling? I've bought from PV a couple of times and their shipping charges were in line with everyone else that sells powder but if you need to know up front see if they'll answer the phone and give you the shipping details before you order. They usually beat or are close to most suppliers for price on brass and powder. Bruno's pricing is usually on the high end and they seemed to gouge during the shortage over the last few years so I'd only use them as a last resort. YMMV

Powder Valley lists their shipping and hazmat charges on their website so you can figure out what the total will be without calling. It's down at the bottom of the first page, here's a cut and paste of it:
UPS/FedEx Surcharge of $28.50 Per Package on Hazardous Materials. Powder and Primers are Hazardous. FedEx requires a signature on all hazardous material packages. UPS may require a signature when delivering your package. Please make sure someone will be available to sign for your package when delivered. See NOTE above to help save money! Bullets, brass and other non-incendiaries do not come under HAZMAT. We will ship via the best method to save you money. Shipping will be calculated and added to your order. Our typical shipping charges are based on the subtotal of your order. Subtotal <$150.00, shipping $9.95; <$300.00, $13.95; <$600.00, $15.95; >$600, $19.95. Please use this as a guide only. Freight for Wads, shot, media and cast bullets are subject to increased freight charges. We can ship shot, bullets and brass via the U. S. Postal Service for $14.00 per box up to 60 pounds, subject to size requirements. Please contact an associate for assistance.
I wish they'd set their website up to just give you the total like everyone else, their ordering system is a bit outdated. I do like ordering from them though, they're good folks and have always treated me well.
