Fedex truck came today at almost 6 PM

zxcvbob · October 20, 2011, 09:36 PM

With a 48 pound box of primers and smokeless powder, mostly primers (42000 of 'em.) It was a group buy, they're not all mine. I told him I really thought he'd be by earlier in the day, to get a 50# box of explosives off his truck...

I would have liked to seen the look on his face.

He should have already known what it was, they are required to carry the United Nations codes and symbols on the boxes for explosives (primers not the powder).

He didn't really seem like the brightest guy (not that there's anything wrong with that.) He didn't know what was in it, or even that it was hazmat; just that it required a sig.

He probably threw the box around the truck all day.

42,000 primers for a group buy? That's a small buy for a group.

It was a small group. Average purchase was about 5000 or 6000 primers, then I added on a couple of pounds of powder. It worked out well because anything more than 50 pounds total would have needed another hazmat.

You did realize than Grafs.com has free shipping and free hazmat? on orders over 32 lbs?

zxcvbob · October 21, 2011, 12:43 PM

This was from graf's. A free hazmat deal just started *after* we placed the order, but it's if you order 32# of powder. (we ordered 45# of primers) Maybe there's a different deal for retail orders.

Shipping and insurance was about $30. The hazmat was $25. I ordered them on my "dealer" account, and the terms are different than a retail account but the prices are lower. For large orders, the dealer pricing is a better deal even though the shipping costs more.

I feel your pain $$$ great prices still...good people, I went by on my way to Michigan City Ind. last month. Then came back thru NE Colorado to meet friends for some P-Dog shooting.

When my UPS driver delivered my powder and primers I ask if I had to sign for it, he sad No, he said this Hazmat stuff is all Bull---you know what.
