    I don't have anything to say negative about Midway or Brownell's. I buy from both, but only Brownell's give an FFL a discount and I buy about 90% through them..Edge membership is like $48.00/year and free shipping....I get two business day shipping. I used to wait until I got a big enough order to help spread out the S/H, but no more. If I need a $3.00 item, free 2 business day shipping. When I buy primers/powder, it helps......don't know why but sometimes they wave the hazmat fee too....

    On the FFL discount, is it just for 07FFL’s? Just wondering if my little old 03FFL C&R is worth anything.

    Midway has been screwy with shipping but it’s not Amazon so they work with what they have UPS, USPS, FedEx. Brownells is the same but I have had better luck and they fund pro 2A groups so I go there first if I can’t find it local.

    I get their cheapest shipping and it always comes in 1-2 days. I am about 8 hours from where they ship from though

    I think that UPS had a computer system melt-down and couldn't accept parcels, and maybe thats why it got transferred to the USPS.
    Sig Sauer ships Fedex Smartpost and most times it takes a week to a week and a half from New Hampshire to DFW area.

    I would believe so....I don't get a discount on every item. For example....the Midwest Industries upper receiver rod is $ 94.95 and my price is $ 85..99. Great tool...I have one, btw...

    What ever you do don't order from Optics Planet. It takes months to get a order.
    They dont do a good job at all (on purpose more than likely) on letting you know whether something is in stock ready to go now or if it will be available in weeks. They should have a more noticeable backorder stated right on the page for all items that are not in front of them ready to ship. Case in point, if I didnt click on some tiny link under the add to cart, I wouldnt see just how long this item would be estimated to ship. I guess 7-9 weeks isnt a backorder in their minds. This is only one example but more often that not, their website is littered with these type of "in stock but not really in stock" items. Definitely wonder if Botach and OP have the same owners.

    I've ordered from Optics Planet a few times. Mainly when I'd rather save some bucks and know it will arrive eventually.

    Free shipping is free shipping. I’m not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I think Amazon has spoiled us with the expectation of expedited deliveries.

    Aint that the truth. I ordered an air purifier and it was delivered in 2 hours.
