I really like AAC and PSA’s ammo in general especially for 300aac but man the shipping is outrageous! Until you guys get flat rate or free shipping on your ammo I’m shopping with a competitor that has free shipping and no out of state sales tax. I mean at least offer free shipping over >or = X amount of $$
Welcome to Biden’s America. Ammo is heavy and shipping is getting more expensive. As for sales tax, that was a USSC decision and not on PSA.

It seems flat rate up to certain weights. Some of us will add enough to the cart to keep shipping low enough to stomach, and just order in those quantities.
Also, from time to time, PSA offers free shipping on ammo for certain amounts; just keep an eye on the daily deals emails
The ones with “free shipping” really is not free shipping. It’s just built into the price. As with a lot of things you buy nothing is going to be guaranteed each and every time from the same exact person. That’s why we are all free to shop around elsewhere.
There are some items that I will purchase from PSA on one order. But a month later on another order I will purchase it elsewhere. You just got to go with where you’re happy spending your money at.
The majority of the time though I will get it from psa. If it’s $5 more from PSA than the other guy I will still pay them the five extra. They’ve been scratching my back for so long it’s not a big deal.
When Biden put a halt to US oil production on his first day in office that meant you were going to pay more for anything delivered by a truck, plane, or train. This is the world we now live in. You may think you will get a better deal elsewhere but you won’t. 
Maybe one day PSA will have a “Prime Membership” and a fleet of PSA trucks.
i absolutely need a PSA Prime account!!
Nah flat rate isn’t usually tiered hence the name flat rate shipping now you usually don’t get it unless you spend over a certain cm dollar amount but that’s beside the fact. Their shipping is MUCH higher than it should be. They’re overcharging with their shipping costs to pad their lower ammo prices. Either way you look at it $318 for a case of 9mm with “bulk” packaging is not a good deal when lots of competitors are 50-60$ LESS for federal or CCI
My beef is they’re not exactly “Americas Ammo Company” when they’re offsetting their prices with shipping costs. And their “sales” or deals aren’t really sales it’s often the same price as normal and just labeled as a sale or deal. 
Their shipping is not MUCH higher. Its in line with what i pay to get ammo shipped. Ammo requires hazmat stuff also. @GamecockOperator worked at UPS and can offer his knowledge on it. As @SuperPredator said, add a box to your cart and check shipping, then add another and do it again. Eventually the shipping will jump.

PSA and all dealers play with the shipping vs product pricing but the math is the math no matter how you skin the Kat.
Now someone chime in and tell me I’m comparing apples to oranges because ACC is superior to the others listed.
I say this with the upmost respect to the admins, some of you tend to have on blinders… just sayin’
Us poor folks have to shop, but we WANT
to give PSA our business.
How can we find a way to help each other?

Step one? GET FJB OUT come J20 next year…
Yes this!
Also that’s about the totals I was seeing here on PSA and other sites. I didn’t have the $20 off coupon though. Something I find interesting is the tax and shipping seem to be nearly identical for you and I. PSA isn’t like bass pro shop high but it’s up there.
I like their ammo, firearms, their patriotism and how they’ve remained for the most part a company for the people not the military industrial complex. They do tend to listen to their customer base.
You know I completely agree with you on that but the point is this -
PSA ammo cost more delivered to my front door than the competition… period
Is it cheaper for you guys because most of you live in SC.
I’m in Alabama, shipping on 1000 rounds is
$27.49 without the $20 off
I totally agree.
I hope the powers that be see this “hey we should look at getting standardized flat rate shipping no matter how much you order shipping cost is the same!” then maybe people will order even more AAC ammo
Same price for me and i live in Ohio
Oh the powers to be see this and they are very good at listening to the customer.
Give me 1000 rounds in a plastic bag inside of a brown box.
I don’t care if you reduce the ammo cost or the shipping but get it to me where PSA gets my money and not the competition.
Especially now that vista outdoors is owned by a foreign company
Right, and you know as well as I do once we become energy independent again in 2025 or so I would imagine the prices of the others will drop as well. The thing that I try to keep in the back of my mind is we all need to realize that PSA absolutely and unequivocally drove the reduction on the prices for the comps you posted. Ultimately they are selling at a price point they can reasonably produce it for. If not for them we all would still be paying around $500+ for the apples and oranges MaxxTech like before they broke the market.
I’m not trying to be disrespectful or be a straight up fanboy @jammo I just think we have a tendency to forget what they’ve accomplished.
