I appreciate and support Midway for a different reason. The money that he has given youth shooting sports through various conservation organizations is astounding. Millions of dollars has been poured into youth shooting. Don't bet the farm on that B'man..

IMO both Midway and Brownells have gone downhill. Midway because of their shipping. 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. Brownells usually has the gun parts/accessories I need in stock. And I"ve yet to get a rip off on shipping, generally its the cheapest route they can take.

I started using Midway for a lot of my reloading back when they had free shipping and had good prices also. Stopped when they started charging for shipping.

I'm not sure about not shipping ammo USPS. But, UPS must make things very easy or volume businesses. I order, or used to order from MSC for machining supplies. They got into a minimum of about 10 bucks for shipping, even if you ordered a small pack of screws. All goes UPS.
McMaster-Carr does whatever is the cheapest.
Maybe Midway is the same way, locked Ito whatever UPS tells them.

Much stuff is delivered regionally by UPS then sorted and delivered locally by USPS.

Fedex ships ammo as well. I just got a shipment from Natchez two weeks ago that had two boxes of ammo and a bunch of other stuff in it and shipping was only $15.63 and Natchez is not the cheapest at shipping.
Midsouth and Grafs are usually cheaper with shipping.

I get my ammo from the ammo man. He isn't cheap but he has at least 10,000-20,000 rounds at a time when I order and he delivers it...

You weren't smart enough to spend another $4.01 to save the $3 surcharge? That's funny.
