i use to ship ups all the time but it has gotten to the point you cant ship a pencil for less than 15$. they hit you with fuel surcharges . they also have a scam that they charge for remote delivery or something. it seems unless your package goes to a major city they bang you for that. i dont know why Natchez doesnt offer priority or 1st class mail. they also need to get a modern website. search tools and navigation is like molasses in january. i wait til i have a big order then its worth it. the thing thats scares me about Nikons is that you see tons of re-furbished scopes. they are at great prices but it makes me think why they have so many.wonder whether its repaired or returned scopes that get sold as re-furbs . cant be that many trade shows. i own a pro-staff and its good for the money. just dont like the phillips screw head that annoys me looking in the tube.
