Great..! Put 1 brick in my cart,...go to checkout.... Special handling fee of $3.00 because it's under $25.. Okay,..I guess,..I'm aware of their provision... $19.62 Ground Shipping UPS

I got an email at 6:30 saying my stuff had shipped. My stuff was waiting on me when I got home from work on Thursday. That is excellent and typical of Midway. Yeah, it's high. I never order just one thing from them. I wait and order four or five things I have been putting off so that shipping is more reasonable.

I can remember back in HS, getting their 4-6 page Black & White fliers in the mail. They didn't have any problem taking a $20 order back then. Bought my first bit of reloading gear from them after saving my $ from working in a Lumber yard one summer..saved just enough to buy an RCBS kit and wood to make the bench. My how things have changed.

And,,, your order is small because he is making it that way because he is limiting you to what you can buy. How many bricks would you have ordered if there was no limit?

The only time I would pay shipping like that is if I really needed what I was ordering and no else offered the product. I'd still be pissed to spend that much on shipping for something small like a brick of 22lr.

They used to be really great on shipping but stuck it to customers when oil prices went through the roof; but never came back down when oil prices went down. Brownells seems to be more a shooters accessory supplier, and less and less gunsmithing supply. But I have found Brownell's sipping to only be slightly high and sometimes downright reasonable. Still, most anything I buy I will try to source from somewhere else before going to Brownells.

Products Shipped Today Total:$249.99 Postage, Handling & Insurance: $18.89 A little less than 20 bucks to send a DAMN heavy box to my door from God knows where. It seemed reasonable.

The USPS will even deliver them and you can print out the postage on the computer, pay via Visa. Small box is $5.86, medium is about $13, insurance up to $50 is free and you get free tracking These companies call it shipping/handling, but really it is just extra profit. I have never bought from Midway and don't plan to. I also don't buy from companies that charge shipping based on the dollar amount of the merchandise. For small orders that will fit in an envelope. Brownells has special rate If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles

The money that he has given youth shooting sports through various conservation organizations is astounding. Millions of dollars has been poured into youth shooting. What you do today is important, you are trading a day in the rest of your life for it.
