Brownells shipping rates suck!

[skosh69]

To anyone that says MidwayUSA shipping rates are high and they suck, go buy something from Brownells and then come talk to me!

I just ordered a set of VZ grip screws from Brownells, as I was the lucky recipient of a Brownells gift card ( thanks again ColMike) and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the final amount for shipping and handling.

They charged me almost $8 for a $19 set of grip screws. WTF, that's 42% of the value of the grip screws. Damn screws could've been packaged in an envelope with a first class postage stamp.

A few months ago, I ordered 2 M&P .22 cal mags, a 9mm Shield mag and a 1911 mag holder, total shipping and handling on all that was only $5.50 from MidwayUSA!

At least I'm gonna have some pretty cool grip screws to go with some awesome grips (thanks again Zane) on my new pistola in a few weeks!

Rant over.

I'm waiting until I "need" $150 worth of stuff there to take advantage of free shipping. Actually, I buy as much as I can from Amazon. Never looked for grip screws but they actually have a fair amount of shooting accessories.

So posting this made me curious and I had to look. Too late for you but this might help others:

I strictly buy Midway, I keep all my items in my cart till free shipping or a "$50 off a $200 purchase" special, then I pay for my cart and get all my goodies at once. I have $200 worth of 1911 parts waiting right now, probly pull the trigger Friday when they email me the special.

As much as I hate egay for their firearms policies, I buy stuff their every now and then. I got some fancy screws for the grips from nekked boy for $20 shipped with bushings!

Got my grip screws today, could've fit 500 rds of 45 ammo into the size of the box they used for a set of grip screws, :facepalm:

Oh, it it was shipped USPS First Class Package.

Got a nifty 75 yr Brownell's sticker, that has to be worth $4-5 bucks, right? :rolleyes:
