YEP! That can add up to a lot of money.Don't forget you have to add the Hazmat fee on top of the price, plus S&H charges.
Stretch,I no longer even consider the hazmat fee, rather it's like a shipping charge to me. But! You have to purchase enough of a product where hazmat applies in order to make it worthwhile.
For example, buying 1K or 2K of primers and paying hazmat is not cost effective. Better is to add a few pounds of powder to the mix:
ONLINE COSTS
5 lbs of powder @$19 = $95
3K primers @$25 = $75
Hazmat = $23
Shipping = $10
Total = $203
LOCAL COSTS
5lbs powder @$26 = $125
3K primers @30 = $90
Hazmat = $0
Shipping = $0
Total = $215
Cost Saving Factor for 5lbs and 3K = $12
Figure that $19 Online for powder is a maximum (some are $16 or so, especially pistol powders) whereas in my local gun shops, $26 per pound of powder is a minimum. Also, $30 per 1k of primers is also a minimum, and would apply only to Wolf, IF they were that cheap. So, the cost saving factor just for that very small sample order listed above is going to be greater than $12.
Another benefit of online ordering is that, at the right sources, what you want can be found, whereas in the local shops, we often end up getting something less desireable than we wanted only because it was in-stock at the moment and what we want may not come in for who knows when. And.....when it does arrive, will we be there to buy some of it before it's gone?
I say go online, consider the hazmat just a part of doing business, and you'll come out ahead.
I didn't think that you could ship powder and primers on the same Haz-mat fee.I no longer even consider the hazmat fee, rather it's like a shipping charge to me. But! You have to purchase enough of a product where hazmat applies in order to make it worthwhile.
