New way to keep 22LR in stock.... At least at Midway and Natchez

Limit it to one box of 325 for 19.99 and charge 17.00 for shipping.

Did they really do that?

Wow. It will be interesting to see the feedback this garners.

Yep. Cabelas has done it as well, but I can add other ammo to the order and still get the 5.00 shipping with them...

Funny, AIM charged me $14 to ship a can of 7.62X54R.

as long as people keep paying the crazy prices, why would businesses not do it?

Not to say what they're doing is completely reasonable, but with the fuel surcharges having gone up so much lately, it resently cost me $13 to ship five empty 7.62 magazines, and $23 to ship a completed upper ... more than it was six months ago anyway.

Mass shippers get discounted freight charges. I'm not saying (well, I guess I am a little) that 15 to 17 dollars isn't that out of line. My point was more the fact they are limiting it to 1 box and still charging 15 to 17 dollars. At least let me get 3 boxes to spread the shipping cost around.

You should have shipped your magazines in a flat rate Priority postal box.

Yee-ouch

Yep, that would certainly be better - in fact, if this is some sort of profit motive I suspect it's less about "charge too much for shipping ammo" than it is about hoping people buy something else at the same time.
