I'm telling you this shipping and handling BS is out of hand!! I ordered a new Ruger SR-9 from a normal supplier of mine almost every week. I was charged $40 next day air and $15 s&H charges as well!!! $55 just to get a pistol next day(ATF rules!)?
Are you sure it is ATF rules. I was told it was a rule that was started by UPS, because they(UPS) was having theft problems with pistols. I was told this charge was very similar to the "Hazardous Materials" charge that UPS decided they needed to charge. Just a way to do an additional ripoff-and driven by the ANTI-GUNNER'S.
I once took a shotgun to USPS to ship. The Post Master told me it was illegal for them to ship a firearm. I called him a liar, and asked him to show me proof that it was illegal. He could not present any proof. To make a long story short he shipped the shotgun.
I am by no means an activist, but sometimes we have to fight back. Tom.
