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 I don't see how shipping a brick of 22LR via UPS, for $20.00, could include any sort of profit.

I am making plans to leave the State for good. With some luck and good fortune I should be able to by the end of March. "Any idiot can face a crisis,it's the day-to-day living that wears you out."

Costs less, ships for less and there is no state sales tax. Midway has great variety of all items and excellent service and project videos, but very seldom any price savings.

They stood firm on overcharging me and didn't even offer an apology. I hated them when I had my FFL in 1990 and I still do. Potterfield surely claims to be upright with his customers.

I used Grafs mostly, for powder, primers, etc... I haven't bought ammo in years..., but to be honest I have a situation now where I don't need to buy components so I have not in the last 3 or 4 years so my input isn't all that up to date.

Wideners, Powder Valley & Ammoman Not that their shipping is any different. I like Wideners customer service. They have always treated me great. Years ago When you could get stuff. I ordered an 8# jug of Bullsey and an #8 jug of Unique with some other powders and Wideners screwed up and set me 2 8# jugs of bullsey. I called them to let them know so they could keep their books straight for the ATF. They asked me if I wanted the 8# jug of Unique and I told them Not at this time . I would put in another order at a later date. About 2 or 3 weeks after the call I received my 8# jug of Unique at no charge. Just for that Wideners is the first place I look up when I order things.
