My experience with pirateship…. Not good. I charge a flat $15 return shipping for factory synthetic stocks. That will double the shipping as most stocks require a box longer than 30”. Let’s see what UPS does.

A $15 surcharge on a box for a rifle stock is about a 70-80% increase in total shipping costs. That's a fair bit.
Now with even more aplomb

Great, they are incompetent as it is. I do everything I can to use any other shipping option.

They’re good if there are no issues. Insurance claims they try to push off on the post office.

Yet places like Amazon must get their stuff delivered dirt cheap. I've had under $5 items shipped to me in boxes that would cost me $10 to ship.

Same here and they are a most profitable miltibillion dollar business while doing it. Sure leads you to think USPS needs to clean up it's act and hold the employees to a higher standard. But they don't. They know it doesn't matter, no need to be efficient, as congress will always just give them more money every year they come up short. Time overdue to fix this, stop the extra funding and get the union and workers to step up their game. Or be out on the street.

Amazon Prime is raising its rates, also. I guess to cover the "free" shipping.

You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it. A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck. Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.

Maybe amazon should keep the same rates and quit shipping in boxes 5x the size they need to be. I have recvd some shipments direct from china and they come as small as they can be tp protect the package. I will say tho that I didnt intentionally order stuff from china and of the things I did they all were returned to amazon as pure junk.
