I had it initially but let it drop because in my case the two day was more like several days longer. If you buy a lot from them, probably worth it, buy from them occasionally, it is not. I tend to buy stuff across the internet so in the long run it was not worth it to me. I get faster service and shipping from Midwayusa or Midsouth Shooters. Probably try Natchez now that they are shipping to my state.
Don't get me wrong, I like Brownells and they have excellent prices and some great tools and stock but for whatever reason, I get faster order processing and shipping from Midway or Midsouth. I dislike Midway's high shipping price though. Have had excellent luck with Grafs and Sons, DeltaTeamTactical, Primary Arms, Apexgunparts, Numrich, and Top Gun Supply, too. Luckygunner does a good job with ammo. Its been awhile with Aimsurplus but they shipped it fast when I did order from them. Sarco is hit or miss and an order is stuck in their system when they changed over to their new website so I will have to call them, sigh, which is never fun.

If you had a gun related business and purchased significant amounts needed in a specific timeframe, I could totally see how that would be worth it. However, if your are a typical enthusiast looking for a deal, they have so many coupon codes for free shipping, dollar value off certain purchase amount, and percentage off deals if you are just on their email list. I don't think I've ever paid for the free (approx) 5-8 day shipping.

Two day shipping...from the time they process your order. I let my Edge expire. The last order my Geissele handguard came 6 days after I ordered. Two day shipping, but several days to pull and ship, plus a weekend didn’t help. Wholly unacceptable when Amazon gets me stuff in less than 24 hours some times.
that and there’s a free shipping and a 10% coupon at least twice a month. Edge is a total waste as the sales are happening more often.

Sign up for their emails, they have free shipping quite often plus other deals. I often use their free shipping no minimum order even though I live 20 minutes from their store, saves me money by not being able to browse their firearm displays!

I didn’t find it to be worth it and let it expire.

I find their website so frustrating I pretty much have given up on them and shop Midway. Was a long time Brownell's customer also.

If the secret squirrel deals were worth bragging on, they would be.

I myself have been a little disappointed in their item availability. That and their gun selection/pricing is nothing to brag about. I like the company though so I keep shopping there.
Now if they would do a free hazmat sort of deal for edge members, then we’d be talking...

I buy quite a bit there and as far as I am concerned, if I am paying extra for something like that it should save me money if I do enough volume.
In other words, fast shipping doesn’t save me anything. End result is the same whether it gets here now or next week. The extra deals through Edge seem/are non existent if you sign up for the free emails.
Possibly a money grab or maybe it is just for full time gunsmith types who need that extra shipping speed as part of their business. No minimum orders are a good thing in that case.
It concerns me that their actual shipping speeds are so lousy though even for Edge members.

I think they are expensive and do not have a lot of things I’m looking for. If your prices are not competitive then you should have a well-stocked inventory. If I have to shop around then I should reward myself with a lower cost results.
