    Apparently not too bad. I get nervous about those auctions that don't list the shipping charges.

    Buyer pays Actual shipping cost.... Run their zip to your zip and go ground. If they try gouging the price...just send them the link of what it cost.

    What if actual shipping cost included packing materials, and the time/fuel to go to the post office or shipping hub? Last time I checked, diesel was about $2.80 a gallon around here, and my closest UPS hub is 30 miles one way. And what if they do try to gouge the price? You bid on it, and entered an agreement to buy it if you're the high bidder, and need to pay for it. Not trying to be dicky about it, but sometimes people don't always think the same. I always ask before bidding on stuff with a description like that. I think that some sellers could type in a few more words to be a little more clear.

    No hazmat fee, just properly packaged and labeled ORM-D. They do need to be shipped from a hub location, and not a franchised outlet. You can also schedule a pick up, which is an extra fee.

    Good price. You can always ask before you bid.

    It is selling for 28 bucks a box plus shipping online..or on GB around 124 if shipping is same as I purchased.  I am into it for 52 plus the 12 bucks or so to ship.  No need to ask anything if it is a great price.

    Agree 100%, 10mm stuff is going crazy. Starline is out of brass, and Dillon is out of dies.

    Well the seller decided to overcharge me. Should be 12 bucks for shipping , he comes up with 33 and change. GB support is handling it. He also will not take a CC as advertised.

    I have NEVER been to a UPS outlet or hub that the price wasn't 15 or more and that was for one box of collector ammo. Location I guess.

    Wow, If you get that to your door for $64.00 you should be in jail - for theft.  :)
    It's too late for me, save yourself.

    If you can't sleep let me know, I will take off your hands but will have to drop price for being previously owned. :|

    Seller maybe should learn that you are not allowed to send ammo by air or by US Mail (1st class he listed).

    However, not my job to correct his errors.

    I just got an email yesterday from UPS.....they are charging me an additional $14.65 for a package that was delivered last Friday.   Its "surcharges" that they tack onto the end of the transaction.   They call it fuel, residential delivery and extended delivery area charges.   All of these things are what should be figured in while making the label......but they don't do that.   They give you some nonsense label price that makes it look like they aren't gouging you and they are competitive with other shippers....but then hammer you with additional fees later.

    He listed everything GB leaves on the sell page..however the buyer chooses which way by cost they want it delivered.

    Understand that- but You get caught putting ammo in the US Mail, Postal Inspectors are going to be talking to the person that mailed it, not the person that ordered it.
