When you care how your pellets arrive.....

Hand wraps all of the tins in their own bubble envelope and is still cheaper than the big stores. Buy 4 get 1 free still evens out to Jeff's lower priced tins when you get none of them free. At the big store prices you really don't get a free one.
its actually buy 3 get the fourth free with free shipping on over $150. which is pretty good when you're talking lead.
 
Yeah I made a mistake. Midway had something in stock a while back when it was hard to find anything in stock. There was no packing material and everything was all banged and bent. I called and complained and they sent me a replacement order the same way they sent the first one all dented up. I cleaned everything up and sorted through 1400 pellets. TWICE. That was a lesson learned.
Amazon's the same way.
 
This was a package I received from Midway about a week ago. 3 of the 8 tins were open with pellets all over the package. Of course 2 tins were mrd shallow base and the other mrd deep base. To Midways credit, when I called they shipped out the 3 replacement tins that same day. When they arrived only 1 of the tins was open.

Knowing how USPS, FedEx, and UPS handles packages, its a wonder that those pellets arrived safely, in just padded envelopes.
Seems like not much padding, to be honest.
Pyramyd uses very thick and dense foam, with cicular cut outs, and is almost bullet proof!
If pellets arrive damaged from Pyramyd, its probably the shipping companies fault!
Glad those arrived safely!

The padded envelopes is better. Theres plenty of padding because each envelope is folded over and taped doubling the padding. He also puts extra layers of cardboard on the bottom and top with brown pack paper in-between.
I had 5 tins pellets of 20 cal JSB stacked in foam squares and the weight of the stack collapsed the bottom tin damaging the pellets. I've had the same thing happen with sleeves of 10 177 pellets. In both cases the vendors replace the crushed tin but I've never had damaged tin from Trenier. And I've ordered 20 plus tins from him at least 7 or 8 times. Trust me, the envelopes work better.
