Locked and loaded shipping rate, beware!

[stage20]

29.99 flat rate shipping for a 15 dollar item. So I searched for everything I could think I needed and spent 250 bucks to help combat their insane shipping price. That's probably what they want. For you to spend a bunch of money.
It was all in stock, though
Just a heads up!

That’s pretty steep shipping!

 

[stage20]

Brownells and most other places are 9-10-11.99

Locked and loaded has discounted prices in cart. It's all kind of a wash because I'd to have ordered what I got at 2 or 3 different places to find it in stock. Just seems like a rip to have a 29 dollar flat rate on small items like magazines

you pay extra for the faster shipping (5 day) at Brownell's and it still comes in the same amount of time as the cheaper version...one of my pet peeves with them.

I didn't pay for faster shipping at brownells and my order come in faster than most have been during this time. I was impressed. Notifications each step of the way. Knew exactly when it was coming.

stuff is one thing...broke stuff needs to get here quicker

Amazon gets here when it gets here...but I might like getting movies if I joined Prime. MidwayUSA get here a couple days faster for me and generally use them, however there may be some advantages to The Edge...my buddy uses it for his shop since they stopped discounting items to shops. He even seems to use MidwayUSA more lately. Another thing that probably doesn't help me with Brownell's is when it is delayed a day (almost always) it throws it to a Saturday delivery at my business location and we are not open. Even if I went there and waited at the time I generally get a mail delivery...the postal worker didn't bring it because he knew I wasn't open. USPS may be the root of my probelm. I don't mean to seem like I am busting Brownell's..just busting the low cost shipping times. And in reality for the price that is charged a flat rate 2 day padded envelope delivery could easily be obtainable.

Website said extra processing time. I called today. They told me their shipping is delayed 8 to 14 days. Today is the 14th day. I'm still in the processing window. Will not order from them again.

 

[stage20]

Still processing. They told me the order is ready to ship as soon as mags show up.
All was listed in stock. I was told they are in stock, just not from the illinois warehouse they ship from. So now I wait until these mags are shipped from a different warehouse then shipped to me.
Huge delay and not a fan of their policy or shipping price. I would avoid these people at all cost.

 

[stage20]

If it's shipped I don't have any notification, and cannot get them on the phone. Website will not allow me to email them. Just goes to ads Everytime I click on the form to fill it in. Very frustrating.
I recommend, no, I'm telling you to not order from these people.

When pricing anything on the internet, I always consider shipping to be part of the price. I notice that ebay and amazon seem to be able to ship things for much less money than most other places and so they are my first choice.

You are correct sir. It's against what I believe in but when you can get it in 3 days and free shipping eBay or Amazon is hard to stay away from.

Finally got a shipment notification. They sent it out usps 2 day premium? Never heard of that. This whole deal has been aggrevating. 2 day shipping went out the 11th and it's still not here. No tracking info either. Just says your item will arrive late but it's still on its way. So much for "premium"
Waited a month now for some magazines that were "in stock."

 

[stage20]

Showed up. Finally. One month from the order date.
