Lee classic turret press best deal around?

Omg you people need to get all the wet sand out of your varginas I'm just giving you an update on my exepience buying cross boarder. For some random dude to pipe in and drop a number like $148 (for only the press) and act like he's getting some insiders deal while most cgn sponsors sell it for $128 plus tax and shipping just irritated me a bit.

I shared my experience to help anyone thinking about buying from FS.

Titan has extremely fast shipping and is great to deal with. I picked up a lee classic turret full kit and dies. The only problem was the $83 customs bill I had to pay the delivery guy

You would have paid nothing in customs had you selected anything but UPS. Titan does offer USPS Priority and Express for just a few dollars more. UPS is well known for ripping us off on international orders, and it's a deal breaker for me on eBay. One time I was charged more in duty than what I paid for the item. I left it there out of principle and refuse to ever buy anything shipped UPS again.

Titan used to offer USPS first class shipping. When I bought some gear from them which included the Classic Turret press, 2 casting pots, and over a dozen other small items a couple years ago, the shipping was less than $50 for the lot. It did however take 2 weeks to arrive without tracking number, but then again it's expected when you choose first class shipping.

Some good advice is to always choose USPS if it's an option. No customs fees.
 
Now to really save money you have to cast your own bullets,I hate spending 18-20 cents for each hole I poke in paper. The total outlay of cash for re-loaded .45ACP with cast bullets is less than .22LR bulk but there is quite a bit of labour involved,scrounging cases at the range finding hard lead etc. etc.......on second thought maybe it's not worth the effort.
