Thread: Reloaders satrting to offer free shipping

cool

only for orders over $300

Marketing trick

Vast majority of their orders must be under $300, and they score $4 or $5 on each of them when compared to other online retailers.

I've always had good service from Reloaders, Dan is a good guy to deal with, but until they stop charging $10 for posting all items, I'll be taking my business elsewhere... Buying something and being ripped $10 for shipping when a $3 courier post prepaid bag can be used is pretty stink.

When shipping we seldom charge the actual cost of the freight.
If one of our guys spends 1hr loading a pallet strapping and wrapping, who pays for his time?
If Reloaders spend 3hrs a day (as an example) dispatching orders then a bit on top is not uncommon

Different strokes Sako75

If you look at an online retail model, you don't have a lot of the costs involved in brick and mortar store. These guys run a combination, but they do employ someone full time to do web orders. As a customer, I just don't like getting charged x for a service when I know the actual cost is x-??%,chats just human nature. If you want to charge me a "handling" fee, then fine, I can make a call on that.

Gun city do free shipping on orders over $100.

Yeah but their margins are usually obscene.

@ebf I find as a rule reloaders shipping charges pretty keen and esp. compared to others.

Still cheaper for me to buy a slab of shotgun ammo from guncity have it shipped for free than it is for me to get it from farmlands here in town

They also charge $350 for a 30 round Pmag, for that price I expect it delivered with roses and chocolate

spear mags are $65
getting cheaper

Yet look at the USA prices, I just got in 4 x 5round brownells mags for $16US delivered to me. I am waiting to see the CC so I know the final charge in NZD but should be $21~22NZ range depending on the CC charges the thieving bank adds for the conversion.

true,but there are 50 million gun owners in the usa and ??? number of magazine manufacturers.
We have one.
