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.

You're complaining about shipping charges to Hawaii???

I paid 15 bux for a case of water when I was there.
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.

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.

Great to know, I'll try them next time! Thanks
