In last couple weeks sold two S&Ws to members. One was S&W 38sp 6” barrel. This gun going 120 mile north in Ohio, same state. Cost me almost $45 with insurance to UPS to buyers FFL. Just sold a 29-2 NIB and had my FFL ship, gun in padded case and presentation case sent empty to avoid damage in transit. Cost me a little less and my FFL is making a buck. He is able to ship USPS. Last week shipped a Rem 14 rifle to Texas by USPS priority mail and was under $40 with insurance. I would bet Amazon and the like are not paying those rates. As everything else the citizens get to subsidize big business.
