Zero bullet price Jump!?!

[Rob377]

At the beginning of May, I ordered 2k Zero 125gr FP for $177 shipped. I'm running low, and I went to order some more today, and they're 211.90! That's a nearly 20% jump in just a few weeks!

Can I have some cheese to go with my whine?

You didn't see all the posts on here telling you everything was increasing? You don't honestly think that copper, lead, brass and nickel prices increasing wouldn't affect you?

It's probably the shipping costs that account for most of the increase. UPS has gone nuts!

My company has a table top booth we use for small shows, dealer open houses, etc. Last fall it was $22.00 to ship it back UPS to Green Bay. Just did it last week and it's now $34. Same box, same weight, same destination.

Makes sense.
Has USPS followed UPS with the increase? They ship bullets via USPS.

I always ship via the USPS when I have that option. They are always substantially less expensive than UPS. With the price of gas, however, I would be surprised if they didn't have a rate increase.

Yeah, but it's not just shipping from them to you. Unless they have a mine & a smelter in the plant, all of their raw materials are shipped to them. Those cost increases are worked into the price of the product.

The company I work for is in the plastics business, we have had two price increases since the first of the year, and we pass all of the shipping on to customers.

Copper, lead, and oil over the last 90 days, as QE2 money gets pulled out of commodities.

I was buying bullets from TJConevera for ~$77/1000 and this last time they have jumped to $92. It sucks.
