I recently purchased primers from Graf & Sons and checked the box for delivery by UPS. I don’t know why I picked UPS, probably because I always see the damn brown trucks everywhere. Subtotal came to $159.74 for 6,000 primers. Shipping from Grafs is always free but they charge $4.95 handling ($0 handling if you use promotional code BLUE) Plus UPS Haz-mat charge of $25.00 for a grand total of $184.74. Or $30.79 per thousand primers, not bad considering the price just 6 months ago.
Then an amazing thing happened, a representative of Grafs called me saying that FedEx only charges $15.00 Haz-mat and that would save me $10. I was impressed, they did not have to do that, could have just shipped it, but they took the time to save me money. I will be buying from them again. Also I would like to thank Dillon for the promotional code BLUE, every little bit helps. $29.13/k primers shipped, I haven’t seen that in a while.
