Anyone have any experience in ordering this item from the US?? once you include US duty and shipping ( USPS)?
In Canada the cheapest I have seen the ChargeMaster Combo is through Hirsch Precision for $396
Natchezss sports has them on for $289
Cabelas USA is selling it for $309 plus a $50 rebate for any RCBS order over $300
Cabelas Canada is selling it for $469
ProphetRiver $449

Ordering through Cabelas USA looks like the best deal to take advantage of the $50 rebate for RCBS products over $300. I assume I can order through them and have them ship to Canada?

Any thoughts/experience if it is actually cheaper once you factor in taxes, duty and shipping

The 50.00 rebate also works in Canada, the form is on RCBS website. Did the math and it comes out to just about the same.
Dropped by EPPS and grabbed one, $ 406.00
 
Got one from Brownells for $289 on sale. I had also purchased some dies. No duty and got my $50 rebate. I cant remember the shipping exactly (it was over a year ago), but it was worth it. If you can find it in Canada for a comparable price buy it here. I could not. You may or may not get dinged for tax at the border its really hit and miss. I get dinged on about a third of my purchases.

Great product. George

It is fast and accurate, you can cross check it with scale test weights that never lie. I can't test my RCBS Chargemaster Combo with my old balance beam scale...........it has too much dust on it from lack of use.

Now go to http://forum.accurateshooter.com/ and see what the competition shooters are using................it ain't balance beam scales unless they are loading at the range and don't have a very long extension cord.

Mudduck, Google is your best friend for information and takes you all over the internet for information and reviews.

Just look what I found by Googling "tight jeans". :evil:

Actually, now most of us competition shooters are using any type of electric dispenser (I use RCBS Chargemaster) but then using an electronic scale that measures to .02 (2/10ths) of a grain, such as AND, among others, to finalize the load.

This also came up while Googling "tight jeans"

Order it from Natchez SS. Even after taxes, shipping and duties, mine came out much cheaper than from any Canadian source I could find.

Here's what I found when Googling for 'tight jeans':

Got the same deal from Brownells. Got the $75 rebate ($25 bonus by including 25 CCI primer labels).

Got ding for GST+PST for every single Brownell order, lowest being $40 (sucks to pay $10 CP fees).

Great deal, great product.

I tried to order from them in the past and it seemed complicated..Ruth or whatever her name was, was away on vacation for International sales, maybe I was not as determined as I should have been, will try them again as their prices seem pretty good.

I just called. Took 5 min on the phone. Showed up 2 weeks later. I ordered 2 at the time. Think it was $360 in my hands each one.

..was pretty painless for me. You do have to wait for them to email you a shipping estimate.

I got mine, replied with an approval and received a confirmation a few minutes later..
