Travelers Swiss question

[painter]

That's quite a price difference! The lady on the phone seemed to think that FedEx was trying to make it difficult for us shooters to get powder.

I just think Fed-Ex is puttin' it to the little guy.

Sounds like it to me. I didn't know there were different rates. Guess that's why some outfits only ship UPS or FedEx.

I just checked my FredsEx account the other day and it was $66 for ME to ship HazMat + the shipping charge + a fuel surcharge. But I'm not a regular shipper.

I just tried to add those to a cart at the site and they came up out of stock.

Same here. Out of stock

It wouldn't surprise me if they were. After all, they are the ones who started the "all handguns had to be shipped second day air" and UPS shortly followed. Since UPS and FEDEX have a sort of monopoly on shipping handguns, you would think the FCC would step in since they do nothing different for second day air than they do for regular shipping. But no, FCC probably is staffed with Demonrat moles like most other Federal government agencies are today.

The real gripe is that the blue collar workers that have the least discretionary dollars are the ones who suffer.

Does anyone know about Travellers Antiques and Trading? They want a photo ID sent along with order in an email. I may be over-cautious but how do they protect my info. I know it is required in some places to keep track of who is buying BP. Just curious and a bit worrying. Thanks.

I just ordered from them and they were blazing fast (on Sunday!) and there were zero issues. The ID is to make sure they have it on file for ATF audit I presume.

Also just ordered from them and order went out same day. I really wish other shippers could be used, never had luck with fedex. They give you a delivery’s day “estimated” and EVERY TIME it’s at least 2 to 3 day later. And yes, I bit the bullet and paid the 75 hazmat fee, I needed powder.

I paid $75 at Crater Fireworks last fall, Guy said fedex raised it. Still better than not getting it. I would buy from Travelers if Crater out but I like that ol guy, ruff n no BS (AT ALL)

Guess to ensure that purchaser is over 21. Know at Friendship you have to prove you are over 21.

Considering some are asking $35-40 for Goex… if you can find it…. And ya can’t.

$18 for German and $23 for Swiss is good prices.

I ordered today- Good people and I’d rather give my business to the small guy.

I hope they do well.

Oh and my order was out the same day. Easy process

I ordered from them on Friday afternoon, got a notification from FedEx Monday with estimated delivery date. Fast enough service for me and where else you going to find powder?

 

[SDSmlf]

$75 spread out over 25 pounds is $3 a pound. Powder is in stock. Personally, all stocked up, but seriously considering.

You MAY find it in stock for less going forward. Or you MAY NOT.

I am getting 6 pounds ordered Sunday on Thursday. I got charged $70. Just remember that's not just the hazardous fee but also the shipping fee. Every time I ordered online I pay two fees: shipping and hazardous. You pay hazardous fees every time you order online. Even if you order at stone/mortar stores, the hazardous fee is put in by the seller. It may be diluted by how much the seller bought. But we still pay it at some point. I will use Travellers as long as they have powder and I have money.

 

[Africa58double]

Yes, I agree

When I look at the Travelers website I see Travelers for $17/pound but the 10 pound container is $245. Am I missing something, or wouldnt it be cheaper to order 10 one pound containers?

 

[johnfrommd]

You are not counting the hazmat and shipping.
