Of course it does, as I placed an order yesterday

If it was just yesterday maybe you can cancel it and then re-order.  Or email them, they might work with you, their customer service is pretty good.

Don't think so as it has already shipped and they explicitly state not valid on such.  I'll live.  I got $100 off that order as I sent in a box of brass for credit, so all is not lost.  But I did just double down and ordered another 1,000 of 9mm 147grain new.

Thanx Zack! Order coming up.

 

Howard: don't despair. Just keep enough in house so you can ride until the next shipping offer. And keep collecting that brass!

talk to me a bit about sending back the brass. how much did it cost to ship? how big a box did you use?

Just ship it using the priority flat rate boxes. Depending on how much brass you have will determine your shipping cost.

If you use a flat rate box the cost has nothing to do with how much brass, as it is not dependent upon weight.  They were rather shocked at the post office at how heavy the box was.  I used the medium size flat rate box, the one that is about 4" wide but long and deep.  It cost $12.65 for me to ship 41 pounds of brass in it.

i need to step up my brass hoarding game pronto

Good retailer and nice prices.

running some numbers...

$12.65 shipped

$2.50/lb brass credit price

5# of brass credit "lost" to shipping costs

36# of brass sent effectively applied to order

$90 effective credit

 

technically the bigger flat rate should be more cost effective...

11x8.5x5.5: ................ 514.25 in3 @ $12.65 = 40.65 in3/$ (41# actual)

13.625x11.875x3.375: 546.06 in3 @ $12.65 = 43.17 in3/$ (43.54# est)

12x12x5.5: ................. 792.00 in3 @ $17.90 = 44.25 in3/$ (63.14# est)

23.6875x11.75x3: ...... 834.98 in3 @ $17.90 = 46.65 in3/$ (66.57# est)

Fairly good return for getting exercise bending over to pickup trash

true

question is what the local metal recycling place will give me per pound of brass. would I get a better rate of return? need to find out.

I heard it's about $1.00 a pound at the recycle yard

I called my local yard when i started saving brass. They said $1.47 per pound.....I obviously went with freedom after that

well, at least I know where I can dispose of the .22lr cases I have then

 

I just noticed on the USPS site... there IS a weight limit for flat rate... it's 70#.

 

edit: see my post #12 for why that might be important.

I sent 50 pounds of brass back in a large flat rate shipping box which cost $17.45.

 

At $2.50 / pound the brass credit was $125. Less $17.45 shipping netted a $107.55 credit against my order.

 

Now you know why I'm a Brass Whore.

You can't send back .22 LR. They only accept calibers that they reload. See their list.

I meant my metal recycler place.

I know FM doesn't take .22lr.

My pardon. Then you're right; 'something' per pound is worth more than in the trash bin. 

good info , thanks guys 

never did get to gathering/packaging my brass today. paperwork filing took WAY longer than I thought, and I thought I was going to murder someone.

Wow I got confirmation from USPS that my brass got delivered yesterday and this morning I got an email stating my credit for it has been applied. Way cool!!! NOTE TO SELF - keep bending over to pickup brass

Thanks ordered 500 45acp

Just placed an order for 115, 124, and 147 gr new 9mm to try out in the new PPQ. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks!

One more day for free shipping...hope everyone who needs ammo takes advantage!

I got my shipping notice today. Now I'll just have to wait and see if the trailer delay bites me again.

There must be a really good House Of Ill Repute (or diner?) in Hodgkins IL. The trans-con trucks never seem to get through there in less than 24 hours. My order arrived there Sunday 9:26 AM and hasn't left yet. Scheduled for Friday delivery.
