Brownells Ammo Shipping Costs
So I add a couple of boxes of ammo to my cart and go to checkout just to see how much shipping will cost and I see this in red:
Quote:
Your order contains restricted items HAZ and/or ORMD resulting in limited shipping options.
The only option in the shipping dropdown is $11.95 and below that
Quote:
Usually takes 3 to 5 business days for delivery. Note: Priority over 5 lbs $22.50
Finally with a choice of UPS Ground, FedEx Ground or Truck.
So I went to the FAQ page and see a section called Ammo Restrictions
http://www.brownells.com/aspx/general/help.aspx#ammo
where I read this section:
Quote:
A $25.00 hazardous fee per order delivered is charged by the shipping company. In addition, a hazardous item escalates the actual shipping costs from $11.95 to an amount the shipping company will determine. Below is an example if your order consisted only of one item, and that item is considered hazardous shipping:
$25.00
+$TBD
$TBD (hazardous fee)
(hazardous shipping)
total shipping fees
then below that:
Quote:
ORMD and hazardous materials will only travel UPS or FedEx and require an additional $20.00 hazardous fee.
So which is it? $25.00 fee or $20.00 fee for HAZ/ORMD or both?
So theoretically I could order say 5 boxes of ammo (or anything over 5 pounds) and have to pay $22.50 base shipping plus $25.00 and or $20.00 hazardous fees or am I totally missing something?
WTF?
