Hazmat shippers - price increase

[FNSafari]

If you read back through this thread, Amy Bruno from Bruno's shooter supply already mentioned that they discount the hazmat rate below their cost to try and help buyers.

Good for them!

Agreed.

What I think you're going to see is vendors selling at cost plus a few % and charging full hazmat fees or selling powder at full MSRP and discounting hazmat fees. In the end, the net - net is going to be the same

And I believe shooters will order multiple #8s instead of 1 or 2 at a time. Ordering 1 k of primers will also be a thing of the past. People will order from places that don't have 1 k limits or find local places to shop.

HAZ-MAT is nothing except another price gouge. A customer pays the fee and the item is shipped the same way as always before the fee was added. Similar to tax money going to stop global warming. Just another con that throwing money at it, is going to help or stop.

Whether or not a Hazmat fee is charged, and how much, is totally up to the seller as indicated by some that charge less and some that charge nothing in certain cases. No one files any paperwork with any agency and none is created by hand any longer, they are (or at least should be) computer generated automatically depending on the product. Hazmat fees are nothing more than a charge that the seller keeps in it's entirety, originally instituted to offset the cost of classifying the item(s) because someone had to physically do the work at that time. No longer, it's automatic now, and I would challenge any retailer to show a dedicated employee at work classifying and creating documents for one of the products they sell.
