I have started using Berry's plated bullets and really like them. I read a post where someone was reluctant to order from them because of the increased lead time note on their website. I just placed an order on March 17th and it was delivered today e days later. The bullets were packed very secure in plastic boxes, inside a heavy cardboard over pack, inside a USPS next day package. This was their standard shipping, I didn't pay extra for the next day service. I am very pleased with the packaging and the fast shipment.
