Has anyone done business with this company? Has your experience with them been good?

Yes, I have bought a five pound container of Trail Boss powder previously, and have a second five pounds in transit, scheduled for delivery later today. Their powder prices and hazmat fees are higher than normal but what can you do if you can't get a product otherwise? If you are interested in powder, and if they don't have it today, almost certainly they will have it tomorrow. No one seems to know how they are able to maintain so much powder. With shipping powder, they apparently have so much daily allotment they can ship and that could hold up your powder shipment until its turn comes up in the daily allotment. They seem to be fine to do business with as long as you can tolerate inflated prices. If they have it and you need it, get it. As a price example, five pounds of TB powder from a gun show, if you could get it, would be around $180 (no tax included), or about the same from the LGS (plus tax), but from RU my five pounds have been over $250. I suppose with TB powder with nothing else quite like it, there is more demand than can be filled and that may account for the inflated price. But note with TB, it takes the equivalent of nine standard one pound cans completely full to make five pounds. So looking at it that way, not quite as bad as it looks.
