The taxman takes his cut every time... But when it comes to saving on shipping, volume helps...
Initially I had 10 boxes (250 rounds) in my cart & shipping was ~36$... Being the curious type, I doubled my order to 20 boxes & shipping was $46.50 and a quick call to a good buddy saw him take 1/2 the order. I called around locally yesterday & almost everyone is sold out of buckshot, and EVERYONE is sold out of case lots, even the local distributorship...
In the end, we each paid $220.18 for 250 rounds of #4Buckshot. So after taxes & delivery my 65cent buckshot went to 88.1cents OR $4.40 per box of 5 (all in) which is how most folks buy it... IT'S STILL A SMOKING DEAL if you ask me.
Cheers
