Priority mail shipping of 2 pounds cost me 5 bucks earlier this week. A13 oz or less box goes first class for $2 to 3 from MN to MN ZIP. Group buy and flat rate boxes could offset the shipping hit on these to the cities if enough people want in.
Well, if you think that Boston's belts are the same quality, you're mistaken. Here are a few differences:
Mine are made with Solid Brass or Nickel Plated Solid Brass Chicago Screws, not a 5 cent snap that is a weak link in these cheaper made belts. Mine are again, hand burnished edges, not these painted on edges like Bostons, the belt man and most others. My buckles are solid brass, the best you can buy anywhere, not cheap pot metal. yes Bostons will sell you a higher quality buckle at additional cost, mine comes only with the best buckle from the get-go. And lastly (for now) mine are finished with the highest quality Beeswax/natual oils mixture to protect and seal the belt.
My belts are nothing like these mass produced belts. To imply that is just false dreaming.
Just sayin.....
