Someone earlier mentioned that it is a law that a Hazmat fee needs to be charged. I do not think it is a law. I think it is a mandate by the shippers. Just like the way they make you pay for overnight delivery of a handgun.

Second. Does anyone know what the actual Hazmat charge is?? If you notice the distributors call it a "Hazmat Fee". Not a charge. So what is the actual charge?? Probably less than we are charged.

Third. I do not know about black powder. However alot of places charge only one "Hazmat Fee". And they ship smokeless powder and primers in the same box, and with just one fee.

There are far too many games being played with shipping charges. And handling charges. And whatever charges they want to charge you.

If the guy is shipping one container of BH-209 for $27 TYD then he is not making a bunch of money on it. Regardless whether he is paying a Hazmat charge or not. Even though I really do not know what that actual charge really is. Does anyone out there really know??

Only thing I know for sure is that he obviously is not paying a $25 Hazmat Fee+plus the actual shipping, and still selling one container for $27. That just makes common sense. So obviously he has found some sort of shipping loop hole. I say good for him. And also good for you if you can buy it delivered for that price. Sort of a WIN WIN scenario. Tom.
