So why are we all paying a hazmat fee then?

The last powder (HAZMAT) delivery I received, I watched the driver toss the box up on the stoop from a fair distance and let the box just hit the bricks. Somehow I got the feeling that my HAZMAT fee wasn't being well utilized.

HAZMAT is just more shipping BS that separates buyers from their money. A lot of people are making good money on this useless regulation IMO.
 
Good video. Something our govt (in their infinite wisdom (or lack thereof)) put in place I am sure. "Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a congressman, oh, but I repeat myself." Mark Twain from about 125 yrs ago. And, they have gotten no better, mostly worse.
The right way. The wrong way. The state way. The county way. The city way. They all get worst.

Yeah this is right....just another "tax" on the shooting industry.
I do enjoy reusing or recycling the boxes with all those labels on though....keeps most of the neighbors from striking up dumb conversations, haha. So at least I'm getting some benefit right?
 
A quick search of FedEx and ups accidents will show you that almost all of them were a result of hazardous material. In the Everglades it was oxen generators. If I was a carrier and I had lost planes to hazmat I would either stop carrying it or increase cost🤷🏻‍♂️ Some hazmats are worse then others but most often it's the combination of more then one.
 
If memory serves correctly. Bill Clinton did this to make supplies more expensive. No all carriers got on board at the same time, until they seen the wind fall money coming their way!
 
Post 9-11 regulations. If you buy in volume part of that fee pays for the paperwork to deliver a notice to your local PD/SD so they have you on a list of places to approach with caution in case of fire and to put them on alert if you're nut getting ready to start a revolution.
So you saying that since I ordered 8lbs of powder last year the local fire dept. got a notice with my address in case of fire? I find this hard to believe because we have fire fighters in the family. Actually just had the fireman's ball and drank some cold ones with the Chief. I am going to ask him and see.

Remember it's the internet......not everything you read will be the truth or apply to your particular AO.🤪

I can promise you our rural FD receive no such notices.
 
I have a question for Butter Bean since I know you like the 7mm STW, sorry for posting here but I didn't where to post, the question is what brass do you run in your STWs? I don't think ADG or Peterson produce any, I am using Nosler when I can get, I think it is a little better than Rem., Win., or Fed. What do you have the best luck with? Thanks Gene

You can always PM him. That way your chances of getting a response is greater...just a thought.
