It just seems steep. Other companys do free shipping after $200.00
Ask how much insurance is included in the free shipping on a $3G rifle. I suggest it will be $100.
You don't do that much shipping I take it:
expedited, signature is 1.50$, 3000$ insurance is 45$... math works out.
It's actually cheaper than if you personally tried to ship the same item at the same speed and with the same insurance.
This is it. We ship fully insured. The actual insurance rate from Canada Post is now $2/$100, so of the $68 shipping, $60 is Canada Post insurance +$1.50 for signature, leaving $6.50 for the shipping portion. The actual shipping is portion significantly larger.
You never get free shipping on anything you buy, its always just worked into the price somewhere.
I often wonder if people understand this? From reading this thread I'm happy to see that most do.
The interesting thing with Canada Post is that shipping from NL actually costs the same as shipping from elsewhere in the country. I guess it's the 'national service' aspect/govt? Don't know, but we appreciate it. We ship A LOT and are at the highest discount rate for volume that Canada Post offers/publishes. We pass this discount on to our customers.
We charge a flat $17.99 for shipping with signature, then $2/$100 of cost for insurance, on larger items it actually works out to a little less that that. If someone wants their ACR shipped without insurance, and is prepared accept that if it CP loses it, only the basic included $100 will be refundable, we will ship for 'free' as well. We haven't had a rifle go missing in 14 years of operation. But I really don't want our new ACR customer to be the first person we have ever had to say 'wow, that sucks' to.
Pretty sure if someone offered to pay $3067, they will ship it to them for free.....
Free shipping, fully insured!
The case they come in is enormous
They sure are.
We appreciate the comments. Sincerely.
