So on Black Friday I ordered 40 Ammo cans from PSA. They where $7.97 each with free shipping. Seemed like a great deal and I use them up so $319 for 40 of them shipped seemed like a no brainier.
So they showed up today. 4 huge poorly packed boxes each with a UPS tag that said 71 pounds.
So here is the thing. Each box had 10 cans which only weighed 55 pounds, I would guess the box and packing was no where close to 17 pounds.
PSA paid to ship 4 oversized boxes at 71 pounds each.
Using the UPS calculator it shows a cost of $118 each box or a total of $472 bucks on an order that the product cost $319
I'm sure they get a better deal on shipping but when you figure in what it cost to ship 220 pounds from South Carolina to Idaho it is a chunk and .50 Ammo cans less than $8
I'm happy to have them but it had to cost them a mint
