Maybe that's where I saw the price, I've never bought through amazon. I was a dispatcher for amazon and a delivery driver for 2.5 years.Amazon. The jumbo rs or express. Here's how you need to see it. If it WAS 10$. Now add the shipping. I know SPaW has a 15 flat rate. TPS starts at $8.90 for my zip code, UtahAir about the same. Trenier is typically 8-9.
Ammo is best ordered in multiples.. the economics of e commerce shipped products makes it the case that you can get 1-5 tins shipped at the same cost.
With amazon you get immediate processing, immediate shipping and EXTREMELY rushed shipping. You also get a HIGH likelihood of damaged pellets.
Order one tin from tps and with 1-2 day shipping you're looking at substantially more. Inflation my dude.
I can't really explain what the process for packaging is, but I do know that they aren't required to pad anything, they're essentially just a shipping middle man. Whatever is "fragile" gets the stamp and some air bags but everything has to get out faster than it comes in.
