Does anyone have a Brownell's shipping code you can PM me?

I'm trying to order a $60 item but they're asking $16 for shipping.

Customer service chat was no help, asking me to order before they could 'try to do something'.

Brownell's shipping code

I wouldn't have been any help either. When someone asks me for a discount I just ignore them. I doubt Brownell's is trying to make money on shipping. The shipping quotes are automatically generated based on what the carrier is going to charge them to ship it.

If you really don't like the shipping rates, order it from China where shipping to the US is subsidized by the Universal Postal Union.

For sure, shipping rates have gone insane under Bidenomics. When I ship at the PO, my standard reply when they tell me what it costs is: "I just want to ship it, not buy the truck."
As for your final claim, I hope it is not true (if you have a link to a reputable source, I will read it). It would just be one more example of making it harder for US companies to compete. Stacking the deck in favor of commies? OK, now that I wrote that, it does sound like the Biden administration. Then we got Mitch McConnell and his Chyna wife...

ETA - I did find this:

USPS is done subsidizing Chinese package shipping

In addition to greater accuracy and fairness, the president’s initiative for higher prices can lead to higher capabilities, more efficiencies and better services.

The US withdrawal from UPU was rescinded after a new negotiation of terminal rates. Rates from China did go marginally up, but it still costs more to ship a widget across the US than it does across the Pacific and through the US.

Unfortunately I check Amazon, and when I find what I need I add things to my cart until I qualify for free shipping and then order at that time.....including firearms and auto related, always check for made in America.
Yeah it pisses me off to go Amazon, but hell EVERYTHING costs a fortune now FJB!

Yep TAX plus shipping leaves no savings over local purchases anymore with a few exceptions here and there and with local there is no wait time. Just bought a bunch of car goodies and buying local saved me $62 and I hand picked all I needed in only two stops.

After getting tired of the insane rates I started using a kitchen scale and buying the postage online. You get commercial rates that way even for flat rate boxes. Those shipping rates are comparable to years past

You are wrong. I didn't ask for a discount; I asked whether the shipping cost was correct..

The (U.S.-made) item weighs less than a pound.
Distance from Grinnell, IA to San Antonio - 1060 miles. shipping quote for standard service was $15.99.

You are wrong.

ok, thanks
