Bass pro reality
Everyone loves bass pro because of the free ship to store option and no hazmat. While I have bought a lot from them, in store and ship to store, the "savings" is a total fallacy. Usually, in fact since I've been buying from them always, they only have 1 pound containers. Nice if you just want a pound or two and are desperate. However, if you seek 8 lbs, you really are not saving anything.
Example: Bullseye 8 lbs........(8) 1 lbs x $28.99 = $232.00 (rounded up 1 cent to $29.00
Recobs: 8 lbs Bullseye $125.39 + $28.00 hazmat + 12 shipping = $165.39
Their real "deal" is if you cant find a powder and only want a pound or two. I mean who would order 1 or 2 and pay 28 bucks plus shipping?
Plus, this example does not take into account adding a bunch of primers to split the hazmat fee proportionately......BP only seems to have primers 100 at a time and its usually at least $4.00 per hundred, $40.00 per 1000 at that price, my LGS and certainly the area gun shows are cheaper by the 1000.
Still yet, when I see something I want in 1 lbs, I will usually pick it up, and usually its on the shelf when I do pick up, so why not bolster my supplies?
Just feeling contentious today I suppose!
