The midway link shows 10 50rd boxed for $20.99.

[jtmaze]

I saw that after I posted....still $19.00 shipping ups gnd +3.00 haz mat

Hazmat for Ammo?

Since when?

[jtmaze]

It just said 3.00 special handling. I am assuming.

[RobertNashville]

You might want to check out Able Ammo...I think they have better prices and more to chose from.

[jtmaze]

I had a set of dies and 200 230 gr .45 boolits shipped for half of that price. I am not that desperate yet. I don't know where they are shipping from but I will wait before I pay $22 s&h.

That $3 is the "special handling charge" for spending under $25.

 

I'll say it again, Uncle Larry really needs to work on those shipping costs.  Missouri ain't all that far from TN.

I agree.

 

And if you have your C&R on file with them (no "dealer pricing" on this stuff LOL), they charge an extra $4.00 because the order is less than $50.00.

 

I appreciate Midway, it's a great company with excellent selection and great customer service. But the S&H fees eat you up...whatever handling is... :cool:

Why does MidwayUSA charge a Special Handling Fee?

MidwayUSA attempts to keep costs low to give Customers great pricing. The Special Handling Fee offsets the higher cost for handling small orders.

• $3.00 charge for retail orders under $25.00
• $4.00 charge for dealer orders under $40.00

 

 

Above info from Midway USA

 

I managed to grab a couple of items from my wish list to get over the $40 minimum for dealer. Still, $15.43 to ship a $46.47 order. :(

More than I would have paid, but then again, it sounds like you bought competition-grade ammo, which is usually more expensive anyway. Don't sweat it-- at least you have some now. Treat yourself by rationing a 50-rnd box and taking a trip to the range!

 

The madness will end eventually, it's just going to take a while, especially for .22.

Thats the same price I was paying for that same ammo 2 years ago.  I've never shot a more accurate 22 round.  You did fine.
