Autotrickler duty / tax / tariffs?

This mess is to funny.youll throw your money at something obviously way over priced for what it is but concerned of a tax or tarrif!

Hopefully made in America comes and we aren't paying $1000 to be fast and lazy when reloading.lol

For one, a V4 is $470...not sure where you get the $1000, secondly, the ingenuity is probably a year out, considering my order number and, it is at least twice as much. Lastly, I have a $2500 scale (bought second hand but unused for far less) that I load with now....I am not too worried about being fast and lazy.

I also guess it is OK to be "fast and lazy" if you pay twice as much to buy an American product. Is that what you are saying?

Just curious, what do YOU use?

Awwww get your panties out of a wad ...lol
It ok.but when you buy digital scales to go with the trickler.hmmmm it's more than $470 it gets around $1000

I use tuned beam scale just how I do things . wouldn't own anything digital...

I'm just making a statement I'm not into these things at all sorry

Gets to be not fun or not enjoyable for me to buy this type equipment that's not needed to make precision ammo.im an old soul that's all

MY panties in a wad!!??...haaaa...sorry son, no.

Apparently you don't shoot enough to want to speed things up a bit. I shoot at least a few hundred CF rounds a week, my wife does the same with CF pistol...those are loaded on a progressive though, and a brick or so of RF.

I would rather spend my time shooting than loading. The faster I can get the loading done, the quicker I can get to the range.

Ok good luck.
 
V4 and the scale had a $35 tariff
Totally worth it so far, fast accurate dispensing , easy to set up and empty
I’ve had a V4 for a good while now and I love it. It’s a very simple machine, with only a few parts that are for the most part “user replaceable”. I very rarely have an overthrow and if I get one, it’s usually just an errant kernel falling from the fine tube, after it stopped rotating. I can’t say that I have ever had an under throw on it. It’s fast, accurate and simple to work with.
 
I have a V4 only arriving soon from MacDonald. Already got the scale. I’ll post back if there’s any import duty applied at delivery as of December 2025.
 
You guys with all your fancy-dancy stuff just crack me up! I have one of the old timey V-3 Auto-Tricklers and I love it to death. It works just as good today as it did when I bought it several years ago. The only thing I have noticed is that my scale wanders a bit, but I just push re-zero and all is well. Oddly it only wanders when I don't have the catch bowl on it. Have fun with your new V-4! I am sure it will be great. Oh and if it was made here in the USA it would be at least 33% more money and service would suck.

I bought a simple little “heavy scale plate” for the SuperTrickler direct from them, $49 plus $20 S&H. Couple days later I got hit with an “import duties” fee of $48(!!) from ups! Wtf. No fees at all on an AutoTrickler OR scale, both from Canada but a 100% fee on a small $49 part from Denmark??

I paid it. Begrudgingly.
