I got a free sample as well. I agree that the company seems to "stand up."

Nevertheless, I am not willing to pay $11+ for shipping and handling on a $30 purchase. The bummer is, I cannot find the 50 bullet packs anywhere but on their website.

Even though the package is small. 50 bullets are heavy. I never liked the bullets and sold them to Omega. I think it cost me about $10 to ship them to him.

I've made 3-4 orders over the past few years. I've always been pleased.

Once I received the 50/40 sabots instead of the 45/40 I wanted. I'm not sure who made the error. They sent me the 45/40's free and told me to keep the others.

I have nothing but good things to say about Harvester.

The sad part of the whole story is that 3 or 4--50 packs of sabots will easily fit inside of a $5 flat rate USPS box that will ship anywhere for that $5 that USPS ships to. Tom.

No the real sad part is that's why the post office is broke. They don't charge enough and we will bail them out

Seems like I asked Ron once why they did not use this as an option but in my old age darn if I can remember now what he told me why that is not an option with their shipping procedures. I will have to ask him again. May have something to do with the handling part of the shipping. They may have a private carrier pick up their orders and do all the handling and preparation for shipping.

The post office can bite me. They lost a $700 fly rod that was sent to me. I never got paid for it.

Jon sent me a package a couple of weeks ago, and they lost that too.

Post office lost a good $200 worth of bullets i sent to muley a couple weeks back. Today was an even bigger joke! We had 3 envelope packages come in that were ripped open and a box that was crushed damn near flat. USPS is a joke anymore. Any time i ship something now, i spend the extra $1.80 for insurance coverage.
