What's shipping going to cost me?

Going to wheel-and-deal on a long gun tomorrow and was wondering what I can expect to pay for standard shipping from Dealer in Pennsylvania to my Dealer in Wisconsin? Want to make sure they don't try to tack on any 'extra'. Thanks.GL

    Whenever I make a sale, I give the customer the exact quote that the shipping vendor gave me, as well as the vendor's phone number so that they can call and verify the rate. If a seller won't tell you how he arrived at his shipping rate, be wary.

    Seller is a dealer! Sale is not an auction though. Found the item on another site .... which shall remain nameless because we all know what'll happen to this thread if I put it here :-) Judging from the posts, if it's up around $20 just for standard shipping with little else then I'd better inquire as to how the amount was derived. Much thanks everyone!GL

    I was in an auction recently where a gun was coming from "Flarda" to here in WA State. The seller asked for $20.00 shipping. OK, so he makes a few bucks on S&H, I think to myself....nope. He spent $22.87 or so on the best the USPS had to offer.

    For a long gun I have generally paid $15 to $20, but have seen it as high as $30 on auctions, and one guy who said "we ship in a plastic case, $35 deposit, $25 shipping, most want to keep the case." Yeah right.

    Had a long gun shipped from CA to IL about 2 years ago. S&H was about $15 but I had to give the FFL holder (gun shop) $25 for processing paperwork.
