I had your ammo boxed up and ready to ship earlier this week. Today I had to run some errands so I took the package down to UPS to ship it. I filled out all the forms, added all the necessary warning labels, etc. etc. and gave it to the gal at the counter to ship. She quoted me $16.00!! I said, "Crap! why so much for that little box?" She said they're really set up for larger boxes and a bigger box with more weight would ship for the same amount. I told her she may as well go ahead and cancel the order as the shipping is what the entire contents are worth. She asked what persactly it was that I was shipping and I told her it's a 50-rd box of .22 Mag ammo. She asked what a .22 mag is and I told her. She said, "Well ... could I buy them from you?" Huh??? She said her neighbor does lots of favors for her and she'd buy them for him. I asked if she's sure he has a .22 mag. and she said, "Oh, he has EVERYTHING ... so I'm sure he does."
I remembered your earlier post:
The cheapest I have found "any" is $16 bucks +shipping - and Remingtons are about non-existent. If we can get them here for much under that (and you don't mind the hassle) I'd like to have them.
I then told her I haven't checked the prices personally, but they're Remingtons, so it's quality ammo. She handed me $16 cash and I left the package with her!
I remember you mentioning you'd ordered a batch of ammo on-line, so figured the "emergency" is over with. I just got back home and jumped on here to tell you the "good" news and read your post in the other thread about FedEx and Gander. This just isn't your day. :(
Anyway, I tried but it seemed kinda silly to ship for that price ... besides ... I came out'a there with lunch money! ;)
