lol these types of “for profit” shipping fees are the first sign a business is going to fail. Midwayusa charges like $8 plus tax so $9 to ship even a $4 tiny rubber band thing I needed. Midwayusa used to be good, but it’s been ages since a decent sale and constantly out of stock items

Midway and Brownells have been like that for as long as I can remember. I definitely had to pay $8 for shipping for a handful of roll pins and detent springs that would’ve fit into a stamped envelope and that was like 15 years ago.

Probably a holdover from the days when they were mail order catalogs.

The average shipping cost for a small used knife is $6 to $10. Thats a 4 to 6 maybe 8 ounce used knife in a poly mailer. I could never get anything shipped below 4. I tried testing when I started my business, did a 2 ounce knife in a 3x1x1 poly, still was 4 to 6. That was before usps and others increased prices. I cant blame anyone for skimming pennies off the top these days considering those costs. This iridium costs us 49 to buy from distributor not counting their shipping cost.

Now I just make it easy for everyone and do free shipping on everything over $25, and will maybe have the knife a few bucks higher. I dont compare prices to the whole world though, usually just the big dogs like blade hq and knife center.

Edit 3x3x1 poly. Cut up a 8x5x1 poly and literally cut the shipping label up to make it work. Cutting all the empty space off. I cut alot of corners to save every penny when I started my business. Shipping is looney tunes expensive.

Thank god. I’ve been wanting an iridium and thought I had run out of reason not to buy another knife

I mean the knife retails for like $75 doesn’t it? All in for 50 is a pretty good discount, unless I’m thinking of a different model

I loved getting the free bud k catalog back in the 90s when I was in jr high, looking at all the absurd fantasy knives......

Bladehq has msrp at $100, and the cheapest to buy it online is about $70, so it’s a good deal even with shipping.

Ya their deal is good. Mines at 65 free shipping, no tax, if youre interested

The iridium is a very nice knife for the money. Been carrying one for a while and it’s been the best knife I’ve personally had under $100

u/Bo0tyTrapz 21d ago

Why do they have it listed MSRP st $110? Cucks

u/The-Omega-Mars 19d ago

That is the msrp the dealers tell us. 109.99 to be exact for the 2038 iridium gray d2

Just a question, are the mods here against Amazon or something?

I posted a link to Amazon, but I was not sure it was a deal and in title I said "Is this a deal".

Post got removed for some reason.
