Shipping charges?

[Parks 788]

I do not know if I am just getting cheap in my old age or if shipping charges are getting to be nuts. Thought about ordering 500 lead bullets in but refuse to pay $14.50 just for shipping. Guess Midway does not know about postal flat rate.

Oh well, anybody wanting 38 cal lead HP semi-wadcutters, Midway has them in. Good bullets for liter loads.

what does 500 .38 cal lead boolits weigh? 15 lbs. Seems about fair to me. LIke said earlier; what's it cost you to go pick them up yourself.

Have you priced going to get them yourself?

That's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

Just chaps me when I have sent heavier packages cheaper.

I'm getting an item shipped from them for free. But it's over their $49 free shipping minimum.

OR, they have no desire to needlessly upset the Feds, whom I'm sure they are regulated by, to break the postal regulations by shipping their ammunition by postal flat rate.

UPS ships it via ground freight, but they always charge by the pound, or box volume so they don't get stuck shipping a refrigerator box full of pillows for $3.

It is just the LEAD bullets without the brass, powder and primer found in loaded ammunition.

Order 2 boxes. 1000 bullets and shipping is only about $16.50. That 2nd 500 ships for only about $2.00.

Can not afford that. Wife says I can not even order one.

They may not ship anything out USPS or have sections of the warehouse, or a separate fulfillment center that can't ship out items via USPS to avoid anything getting intermixed in boxes going out the door.
