How would you rank Brownells vs. Natchezss vs. MidSouth for shipping here?

I've had good experiances with Brownells. I have not tried Natchezss or MidSouth but will keep them in mind.
I really like the new Brownells website super easy to find what i want. Calling or ordering online I can ask for USPS International First Class, it has to be under a certain weight/size. If it can't go IFC they'll ship it next cheapest for me, usually priority parcel.

Agreed.
 
I bought tools and shell plates from mid south. By the time all the fees for international orders and the shipping (usps took close to 3 weeks) would just buy it up here next time unless no one has it. Because it wouldve cost almost the same.
 
I just bought a rcbs chargemaster from natchess, they apparently use usps on all international orders but i also sent an email requesting usps to be sure. Anyways great deal on the chargemaster 289.00 and shipping was $67 internatoinal express $52 priority and cheaper for regular mail,they gave me no price for the reg mail option but told me it had no tracking so I went with the priority option. Final total was 343 and change, not to bad, hopefully canada post dosent sting me with any fees.

Another +1 for Brownells, received many orders from them with no issues whatsoever.

Remember to patronize the site sponsors first though! I'll only order from Brownells if a site sponsor doesn't have something I want in stock.

I have used Brownells many times, very easy and smooth. Always USPS
Used Natchezes once and don't remember any issues.
Also MidSouth twice but their process for payment is a pain but worth it for a chargemaster. Apparently you can pay by CC on your 4th order or something like that...contact them to find out

I've order from both Natchez and Brownels/Sinclairs Int and both these are top notch IMO. Mid south I thought don't sell and ship anything to Canada.

They sure do.

Taken from Midsouth website:

You are probably thinking of Midway, they will not ship to Canada. I dealt with Midsouth for many years at least 15 and quit when they slapped on the paper work & filing fee, not that it is that much but it just seemed like a money grab. Brownells is always great to deal with and if you e-mail them and get the list of companies with current export paperwork it makes it much easier to order from them.
 
I use Brownells and Natchez frequently although I ship stateside and pick up from there.
All Canadian regulations still apply but it gives me an excuse to go across the border and fill up with cheap gas and groceries.
 
I've ordered from Brownells a ton of times. Always easy to deal with but always have duty charges when I pickup from the Post Office. I've ordered from Natchez a few times and was really happy with their service.
I've just recently ordered a custom set of dies through Midsouth and was more than suprised with their billing. I'll make sure I dont order from them again unless absolutely my last resort.

I dont have the bill infront of me but I remember they charged all sorts of stupid fees including a credit card fee.
