Open Letter To Midway and Brownell's

I ordered a set of Single Action Army screwdrivers from Amazon Prime.

Why did I order from Amazon and not Midway or Brownell's?

First off, a search for SAA screwdriver set actually got what I wanted at Amazon and got the wrong result from Brownell's and no result from Midway.

Second, Amazon fucking NUKES the gun supply places with regards to shipping speed and that's before you consider that Amazon isn't charging me for it.

But mostly the first thing.

I looked at the gun places first and once I had a brand and model from Amazon to search for, found them readily.  They have the product I was after, but didn't make it so I could find it without knowing who made it.

Back on that shipping thing.  Using UPS or FedEx to take it to the USPS for delivery is a needless extra step that just delays delivery to no good end that costs more than just using USPS door to door.

Amazon just put it in the mail.

Lurn, my pretties.

    I always shop around for the best price and free shipping. I way those factors in.

    I bought a sling swivel stud the other day that was delivered by Amazon this morning. I probably could have bought it from either Brownell's or MidwayUSA, but for a small part like that, the shipping from either of them would have been as much as the part, maybe more. Free shipping from Amazon, so even if they beat the price on the part, they wouldn't beat the total.
