Try calling them and ask if they ship to Hawaii.
Back in the day, primers, powder and ammo had to ship via slow boat, which is expensive.

Tried calling them. Must be closed for the weekend. But I ordered 1000 small and 1000 large for $130.50 no hazmat fee and 10% off...

Guess we will find out Monday

Since when primers can ship with no hazmat?  Did the order go through?

If somebody is shipping us large primers for 6.5 cents each then I know where my next paycheck is going. That's half what I got them for recently.

Assuredly their website isn't configured to handle the logistical realities of shipping to Hawaii.

Last time I ordered primers we needed to order at least 120k primers to make it worthwhile - this was pre-plandemic. And, it shipped via air freight. I think the fee was around $200.00.

I ordered 4000 primers.  2 case large and 2 case small CCI MAGNUMS for pistolas.. Came via UPS.  I paid about 314.90 with Hazmat.  About $78.75 per case.  Not bad.  But some shops have a caee of primers for $85 each...i would probably buy local next time.
