Looking at this web store, a couple of their prices look almost too good to be true - specifically their CZ S200 for $559.
Anyone here bought from this store ?
TIA
 
Last week I wanted to order to restock my pellets, but backed out because of $40 shipping charges. But honestly I have no idea how much the mailing cost today....

That's only a default price. The price paid for shipping will be the actual shipping price charged by Canada Post. It was the same about ten years ago when I was ordering pellets regularly from the CAF store. No problems.
 
I bought my CZ200S from them, great experience.
Also if you are considering that rifle and they still have them grab the repeater kit and a few extra magazines.

You have over 5000$ in airguns, yet 40$ is a deal breaker?

Honestly it be cheaper even at 40 $ to ship than drive. I whined about 80$ to ship ammo. But realized after just filling my Corolla and it was 78$ and it be 6 hours of my time. Shipping is the better option.

Yes you are right, but I wanted to try one new to me pellet only...
Earlier years I was buying at least five tins for each weight/size for my tests, but ended up not dropping the Brand/Model after some 50-100 shots. Toke me years to plink away stupidly (like a drunken sailor) what I don't need any longer. :)

Sadly shipping isn't ever cheap anymore, but I wish more people would think like this lol. Cheers to you!

While working at a gun shop, I once had a customer drive two hours out of his way to buy a gun at a different store because their sticker price was $20 lower, without ever asking us about the price, or considering our free shipping at that time... but he did make the time to call and complain about our price being $20 higher.

Try running a small business in the country. We cannot control the shipping costs, nor can we suck up the shipping costs. We don't have those ship station or other places that offer discount drop shipping rates. Canada post doesn't give SBA that great of a discount. Its min 25$ to ship anything. So it really hurts us.

But I often tell the wife, just ship it, its cheaper then me driving or my time. I really hate when people ask how much shipping is, and you give them a honest answer, then you never hear from them. What were they expecting next to free shipping ?
 
The Canadian airgun forum store served me very well. Best price in Canada on a HW30. Pellets are some of the best prices too. If I'm not mistaken tax is included in the advertised price.

if you had friends they would go to the store and then mail you the half dozen tins for a flat rate shipping

I have over 100 thousand 177 pellets in sleeves of 10 tins which took a dozen shipping charges

now I have pellets that will work forever

and I started buying them at 15 bucks a tin

you seem to want to shoot a lot so get after it

if the pellets work buy all they have and then there is almost no waste and your pellets enjoy chart is off the scale


sorry to be so practical and correct but you are so darn short sighted trying to save a buck and not looking at the end goal or long term PERMANENT solution

Jeff let me correct you with the full story if you adress the above to me
Last year I wanted a learning curve, what amo my guns and a bunch of my liners likes and what not.
So I ordered over 20 tins in each weight in .22 from all Brands I could get to my hands. I cannot remember from how many stores I ordered these - and pay shipping, but I think I moved all the major suppliers in Canada because I was targeting specifics. Can you imagine the mistakes I have seen what some of them shipp to me and resend?
I shoot the volume through several weeks (2-3 days a week) at my gun club in distances between 20 and 50 meters also 100 meters.
I did not count them but lets talk 5-6-7 thousand shots only the pellets what I wanted to test, plus my established routine with .25 slugs (from Slovenia and US).
I made a competition grade shooting to myself, into target rings. Documented and pictured every card for my own archives.
Selected the 3 Brand/weights that worked the best @ 50 meters and 100 meters.
And ordered at least 10 tins of each for my stock.
The rest of the pellets that I didn't like it toke me over a year to plink away, probably couple thousand, I just got rid of all that. Some of these junkies ended up as weight in my tripod legs to make them heavier.
My usual volume is about 10K pellets and some 30% slugs, every year I was shooting in a club.
That is a lot of money for a postman as well. ;)

Just my 2
