Anybody know what they charge for firearms shipping? I've looked on their site and I can't seem to find it. I'd rather not have a surprise shipping cost. Thank you all for reading.

I thought I read recently some bad reviews about them. I just searched and found rating of 2.5 stars from 113 reviews.
Usually before submitting an order most sites have a place to see shipping charges by your entered zip code. I am not sure about palmetto.

Sometimes....

Sometimes you have to practically check out before you see the shipping and it's got to show in the total. you have to do a lot of work to get there, but if I think it's like adding fees after buying a car I nix it.
 
I've used Palmetto State Armory for the purchase of both firearms and ammo. I find them to have very high standards. I researched AR's for several months before ordering a complete upper and complete lower from them. I ordered the items separately when each was on sale with free shipping. PSA has sales every week. If you are patient and wait for a weekend special, you can get good deals. The quality of their products, at least as far as my experience,is outstanding. I'm not in the habit of making recommendations about outfits but I have no reservations about PSA.
 
I try to buy items when they are "free shipping" offers. But like many companies, you have to go thru the whole order/check-out phase to know the real charges. Mine have averaged around $20; no surprises.

They seem good to go to me. Alot of people at my lgs recommended them to me with my search for a good ak platform, makes me feel pretty good seeing that their psak47 is made in America, and with that I can justify paying 700 plus for an ak.

I've built 2 AR's with all PSA parts. Most of the orders had free shipping but a couple didn't. Best I can remember the shipping charges were shown somewhere in the "cart" during checkout but before actually buying the product. In all cases shipping was IMO very reasonable. Everything I've ordered from them has been packaged extremely well and even UPS would have to put some effort into damaging it.

One completed upper I purchased from PSA came with the barrel canted slightly putting the A2 front sight to the left. I sent them an email and had a shipping label sent to me with instructions on how to send it to them. The upper was gone a total of two weeks before I got it back in perfect condition. I realize they messed up but they owned up to it and fixied it at no charge to me. I'll definitely buy more stuff from them.
 
If I recall, it was $17 for the shipping when I ordered one of their PSA Classic AR 15 lowers. That was 2 years ago. Or maybe it was the complete upper. I ordered them several months apart.

Like others have suggested, just go through the check out process. They will show shipping before you complete the order.

I put together a half dozen prior to Nov 2016 for an average of $443; an example. I give them 5 stars, so far(although I don't see me making any more in this lifetime). Joe

So give or take after the transaction processing it'll take a few days to get here

So far that's been my experience. It's only been a few days at most before my order shipped and that was on a complete upper. The website says they build them to order and it can take up to a couple weeks to ship but that's never been the case for me. Maybe I've just been lucky? Orders that I've placed for parts were generally shipped the next day.

Good deal. I'll be ordering asap.

Not so much a fan of PSA, though I am a pretty patient guy.
I ordered a AR pistol lower on Dec 19, and here it is Feb 19.
I made three phone calls, minimum wait to talk to a human being 30 minutes up to 45 minutes. Forget about emails, they never answer those.
One call after a month it was "in shipping, we'll send a tracking number". A week later I called back for status, they replied "gun was sent to your dealer". What happened to tracking info? OK, please call the dealer for me. They did, the lower was never received.
OK, "we'll track it down and find out where it is". I called back on Feb 2nd, "the gun was shipped to another FFL and he thinks it's his and we're having a hard time getting it back". LOL, really? :rolleyes:
My fault for not asking them just to ship me another lower since they seemed to have a bunch of them advertised for sale, at $10 less than what they charged me. :eek:
I haven't called back in the last 2 weeks due to being in the middle of a move to a new house.
Their CS is severely lacking, imo.
Not a total debacle as they did ship my upper in less than a week. :)
Maybe I should have paid a little more and dealt with a company that has a decent CS dept. :cool:

I recently order a complete blem Magpul MOE lower from them and they shipped it promptly and it looks great. All I could find was one tiny scratch on the side of the reciever...but you had to really look to even notice it.

I've toyed with ordering that Taurus PT111 Gen 2 they keep listing in their email blasts for $209, pretty good price.

Only downside I can say about PSA is they send you a ton of emails...I think at least 2 a day w/ their daily deals. But CDNN, Buds, etc are all email happy as well.
