Brownell's shipping code
I wouldn't have been any help either. When someone asks me for a discount I just ignore them. I doubt Brownell's is trying to make money on shipping. The shipping quotes are automatically generated based on what the carrier is going to charge them to ship it.Customer service chat was no help

If you really don't like the shipping rates, order it from China where shipping to the US is subsidized by the Universal Postal Union.
The US withdrawal from UPU was rescinded after a new negotiation of terminal rates. Rates from China did go marginally up, but it still costs more to ship a widget across the US than it does across the Pacific and through the US.For sure, shipping rates have gone insane under Bidenomics.

As for your final claim, I hope it is not true (if you have a link to a reputable source, I will read it). It would just be one more example of making it harder for US companies to compete. Stacking the deck in favor of commies? OK, now that I wrote that, it does sound like the Biden administration. Then we got Mitch McConnell and his Chyna wife...

After getting tired of the insane rates I started using a kitchen scale and buying the postage online. You get commercial rates that way even for flat rate boxes. Those shipping rates are comparable to years pastFor sure, shipping rates have gone insane under Bidenomics.

You are wrong. I didn't ask for a discount; I asked whether the shipping cost was correct..
