Eyesa Horg Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 Hazmat from Powder Valley was $22.69 last week and it came UPS today without that damn pesky signature like FedEx! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 This is an indication that group buys are going to make even more sense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 If I am reading that right it’s either a 2% or a 6% increase. Does anyone know when was the last time this fee was increased? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watab kid Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 sounds like they have another way to eliminate us shooters , they keep finding ways to tax or fee us into no longer shooting , im not quiting but i am scaling back , n=but then im old ..........im more concerned dor my children and grandchildren these days , they may never get to experience what we have ,,,,and we missed out on what the previous generation had that had not been regulated , i did live in the 50s and remember the mlsurps in barrels at sears and monkey wards for near nothing , i got my first two milsurps that way because my dad was agreeable to learning to shoot , i think the second gives us the rights , no restrictions , but the supreme has not yet said that recently - close but not all out revoked all legislations against guns , its time they did and make it national law Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had then stuffed in 55 gallon cardboard drums called carboys. I thing it cost about $20.00 total. U later picked up a 1911A1 and an S&W 1917 .45 revolver from a place called The Stockade. I got 500 rounds of .45 acp and two serviceable holsters for aboyr $35.00. I'd sure like to find a 1917 in as good a shape as that one was for a reasonable price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 What really kind of chaps my hide is these are the same knuckleheads that closed dozens of service centers and made using their services hard on a lot of people. They also laid off 12,000 employees this year. I had to drive 70 miles to ship a Glock to Smyrna, GA for warranty work - Glock 44. Huge disappointment. Any way, these same ***holes closed all the service centers in WV that were within 50 miles of me and I drive to each of them only to find them closed. (Grumbles a variety of cuss words under my breath) On top of all that the woman at the counter argued with me about how they cannot accept my gun for shipping because it’s outside their business practices. I asked for a manager. She said “I am the manager here! I am only at the counter because someone called in sick.” I told her she oughta know UPS’ policies and that she is wrong. She started yelling at me then I told her to… Well, I cannot put what I told her here. Then I left. I did email UPS about this incompetent dipstick, but never got a response. So, my opinion is £#€% UPS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 Our family beach house in San Diego was $14,000 new. Living proof that prices always go up, never go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
