Well since this thread is so derailed I'll add my 2 cents.
By the time i get in the car and drive to wherever it is I"m going I'v espent more than shipping would have been. Now if it's someplace I was going anyway or if I can bundle my trip together with another stop it's mitigates that some but time and gas are $$$$.
About the hazmat, make friends. We buy a lot of stuff and it think it's 48# that you can ship on 1 $25 hazmat fee. Do group buys and max it out! I'm fortunate that we in Oregon and Washington have a locak message board where we're really tight and it's no problem finding 3 or 4 guys who can and will buy that much and share the shipping costs. If you don't have a message board like this you should really consider putting one up yourself. Local, like minded guys you can meet and shoot with and help move and pray for and with is a really big joy in my life.
