Hey John,

I called Marstar today to order a crate of ammo 7.62x54r I asked the nice lady on the phone how much shipping was going to be and I was told $73.xx I live about 6.5 hours away from your shop I think n4s7w3. This seems very high so I did not order, is that a mistake on the shipping price? If thats what it costs so be it but I was just wondering.



Thanks!
Chris

In this case, would not a private e-mail to Marstar be more appropriate than posting something like this on a Public Forum first?

It is an honest question with no ill intent, a simple answer of "thats the cost" or "give us a call back" would work.... I don't think there is anything to hide here but I have been wrong before and if this is out of line for an open post I will apologize to John.
 
Ammo is heavy and expensive to ship. In many cases, shipping is not entirely dependent on proximity from your shipper/receiver.

Marstar does not have a retail/public access store so you can't pick it up.

Cheers.
 
There is also a hazardous materials charge placed on shipments of ammunition. I believe it's usually around 27.50, at least thats what wholesale sports says it is for their products. This is a flat fee that does not change with the size or destination of parcel. So this high surcharge, combined with a heavy overweight charge for the item makes it very expensive to ship

I did not know about the haz mad fee...thanks for the tip
 
Haz mat fee is a load of ####e I have ordered ammunition from other companies and never paid it.

That being said a crate of 7.62x54r is VERY heavy and will likely cost a lot as it has to go through courier.
 
PLEASE, we have peole manning our order desks, we have people on the order phones, we have peole who will gladly provide shipping quotes, estimates, etc, etc....ALL have e mail addresses on the site....

WE DO NOT have somebody to monitor CGN in case a potential client should ask about shipping.....

I will pass on your request however for security reasons we would prefer to send this to your e mail
I can be reached at john@marstar.ca

DHL

They have to be fastest service through securety...

which means they add allot of charges on top right away even for short trips it tends to be between 72-120 for short trips
