primer/powder online order, share cost of hazmat/shipping?

Postby Skydivermn on Mon Apr 23, 2012 12:37 pm

Natchez has Winchester primers that are on sale and I'd like to place an order. Anyone want to split that hazmat/shipping charge for someone living/working around the western suburbs of Mpls?

Currently, large pistol primers (Winchester, possibly others) are typically $36, but they're around $28. I'm just about out, and if we can make this a win:win by sharing the cost of shipping/hazmat then it's fine by me. I've never done this before, but I see it going down like this: You tell me the (reasonable) amt of the components that you'd like to get and I order them. We plan to meet somewhere after I take delivery (i.e.Home Depot parking lot, where ever) and you pay me for the primers/powder + your half of the shipping and hazmat. When I ran it through their shipping calculator, 10 boxes of primers and 2 lbs of powder were about $17 for shipping + the $25 hazmat.

I dunno if this really makes sense, but I thought it might. I could always buy locally, but there have been a few bad customer service experiences and, unfortunately, I feel compelled to buy outside my local market. PM if you have any suggestions or know anyone already doing this. Even with the shipping/hazmat included the costs to order online are quite a bit cheaper than local. Just trying to make it a bit sweeter. Please let me know!

Thanks!

Recob's might have a better deal for 10k winchester LP primers and 2# of powder (w231) $12.30 shipping with $27.50 hazmat. Check em out, might be a bit cheaper than Natchez.

Have you guys checked out Wolf Den in Hugo? I have yet to see 1000 primers over $27 there.

Nice! I haven't travelled that far for components, but it would be a nice drive and the price is right.... Thanks for the help!

Anyone know Wolf's Den prices on Federal SP? Any price break on sleeves?
