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.

Where a flat rate would work fine on non ammo type stuff.
It takes a damned crook to stiff someone that bad on shipping, a greedy damned crook... Smilin Larry.

Yup, I think this is correct. My cousin over in Kiev just ordered some ammo from Midway, I'll tweet the question to him and see.

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...
