Pyramid shipping charges

Anyone have thoughts about Pyramid's shipping charges or am I just being out of line here? Just ran the numbers for shipping 12 tins of FX .30 cal pellets to me here in Hawaii. Pyramid charges $55.50 for shipping from 44139 to Hawaii via USPS priority mail. I could ship the same 12 tins from 44139 to Hawaii for $29.95 retail according to the USPS online postal calculator. I'm sure Pyramid also gets quite a discount from USPS retail rates as a volume shipper. Granted, Pyramid packages their pellets very well but a few pieces of foam can't cost that much. Thoughts?

I feel the same way.
I am also Im HI and the shipping charges never jive with the carrier rates.
The free shipping deal only applies if your on the continent.
I usually have to pay around 250$ total for my orders of 7 tins of JSB from airgun depot.
I order only from them because Ive gotten sevral destroyed tins from PMA, and others. They always pack them in the foam cutouts and get to me in top shape.
I often put them in my cart only to see they want $100+ for shipping. When I check back later the same day or a day of two later the shipping options are always lower.
Just ANOTHER 'Paradise tax' smh.

Other than it isn't a deal. The price they charge for the 3 more than covers the cost of the 4th.

Tekton tools shipped me 65lbs of wrenches to HI for free, and many other very heavy things. Amazon shipps me heavy stuff all the time all for free-
If your spending 200+ in goods there ought to be an option for free or less than $50-$100 for shipping. It obvious that the math aint mathing.

Such is island life. Buy bulk and do the "buy once cry once" technique.

You should've see the price to ship a 4 cylinder compressor air freight from China to the mainland usa....

Have you tried Trenier? They have great prices on pellets and shipping packages are individually wrapped in a bubble envelope.
Never an issue with bent/damaged pellets.

I live in Alaska. Most free shipping excludes Hawaii and Alaska. Airguns of Arizona is great. Shipping is expensive if I just buy online but if I call they are glad to put the order in a flat rate USPS box and a $55 shipping cost becomes $15. That is good business.
