To save your company money, I'd advise against bringing in any 308 and 6.5 Creedmoor in LRP (Large Rifle Primer). Just SRP is what a lot of people will want (because small rifle primers are easier to get and cheaper). We can debate on accuracy if you want but SRP brass is said to last a little bit longer because of the primer pocket being small has more brass to keep its shape.

Small rifle primers are definitely easier to get at the moment, but this will soon change. Myself, I would not use brass with small rifle primers, large rifle CCI BR2 primers only for me.

Been reloading 47 years, never had an issue with large rifle primer pocket brass.
 
Any way you can toss a small order into a flat rate box?
$33 plus tax for shipping 200 pieces of brass seems excessive.
My small business account would cost $19.89 including taxes for the same weight and size sent to my location from yours.
 
I'm in the same boat was going to jump on some 45-70 but the shipping is a little steep (recognize completely that Canada Post are thieves and nothing is getting cheaper anywhere these days)

The quote you receive is direct from C.P. Our site ties in directly with theirs and we are a high volume shipper, so, rates are normally decent. (we ship of 15K parcels a year within Canada)
-if you like, buy the brass but select 'curbside pickup' then send a shipping label to us from your business account. -

If you were somehow able to start shipping in the Canada Post Flat Rate Boxes, shipping costs would drop about the 40% Misterplinker1 mentions, even without a small business account. Have to love Canada Post!(place sarcasm here).
 
I confirm what Zeuster56 said, flate rate boxes are amazing, easy to pack, write address info and bye bye. Shipping fee go lower and it motive the buyer to purchase more (like me) :) .

Flat rate boxes have to be purchased at a Canada Post Outlet directly, yes they are less expensive, but this comes at a cost. Only $100.00 insurance is allowed, and if lost and your parcel is valued higher, you are screwed, ask me how I know.......:(

The dealer would have to buy a large supply of various sized flat rate boxes and then store them on site. In my opinion it creates more work and overall would cost the dealer more money, but the customer would safe a little. Then you have that $100.00 insurance cap which trust me, you do not want.

Although I agree with everyone's concerns about ridiculously high shipping costs, there is not much we can do except to flush the smelly Turd!

If we create more work for the dealer who is shipping, the price of the goods will go up accordingly. Shipping is very labor intensive, especially with the amount of parcels they ship in a fiscal year.

Eight years of a tyrannical government has destroyed Canada, including Canada Post. It will be a real mess to clean up once Pierre Poilievre becomes the new Canadian Prime Minister. But make no mistake, there is no easy fix to the excessive damage that has been done.

And another 18 months of the fool at the helm will just create more damage. He wants another carbon tax increase January 1st 2025. Shipping will increase again!

Shipping is going to be very close to the same everywhere you order from. The price of the 45/70 brass is way cheaper here then other places that have it right now, almost half the price I have seen it for. The shipping is moot at that point.
 
Yeah I just ended up accepting the shipping cost and placed my order. One in the hand is worth two in the bush...

I appreciate you getting back to me and offering the emailed label option, that's very accommodating.
