I had a big cart full of items last night and when I went to checkout a message popped up saying "due to rising shipping costs we are no longer shipping to Hawaii" blah blah blah "must send to freight forwarder".

What a pain in the ass. Shipping gets charged to me anyway, what do they care about rising costs? I already sent a letter to customer service and I got a lame automated response of their new Hawaii shipping policies. 

Since customer service didnt help im gonna try their social media pages to get a human.  I'm hoping some of you guys can join bugging them to so they reverse this new policy. (Not sure how long it's been in effect I havent ordered in a while).

Now im all sick im missing out on $2 AK mags ☹

really?  I just had a rifle, ordered from PSA, delivered to my FFL today, via UPS Ground.

must've just gone into effect the last couple of days?

Did you have ammo in your shopping cart?

they dont ship full size AR or AK mags

yeah, when I went to check-out for my rifle, I got all these warnings that because I live in a communist state, they would delete the other-wise-included 30rd window PMAG, no discount or compensation.  I checked their shipping restrictions, and it says the usual about "No Handgun Magazines with a Capacity over 10 rounds", but I wanted that rifle at that price, Free Shipping (ironically), so the mag-deletion wasn't a deal-breaker for me, got "sufficient" mags already.  It's an annoyance.  Didn't feel like arguing that point with "Corporate".

I ran into this too recently. They won't ship anything to Hawaii without going through a freight forwarder. BUT I don't think that applies to FFL items!

So they won't ship me a rifle kit but they'll ship me a lower or a complete rifle.

SEC recently became a PSA dealer.  You may want to check w/SEC too see if they can bring in your guns.  PSA won't ship standard cap mags even though SEC sells to LE, however you might just save on shipping and support a local business at the same time.

no just mags and small parts

Government like that kinda makes you want to buy more of them there “assault weapons,” don’t it.

especially the ones with bayonet lugs, and that thing that flips up over the shoulder!

Ah!

Another M14 fan perhaps?

We are so lucky to live in paradise. Our government officials protect us from mass murder with 30 round mags. It happens every day, right? It's a huge problem here.

I guess that's why all my friends and relatives have moved away to other states. They were terrified of being killed by ak47 rifles with 30 rnd mags.

I'm also lucky that our government officials have stopped me from buying cigars by mail order. They always know what is best for me. The fatalities from fine cigars are staggering.

Yep, when that little pissant signed that tyrannical bill preventing us from buying cigars or pipe tobacco, that was actually when I knew I’d be getting the off this rock in due time.

Acts like this make it perfectly clear that we are considered inmates, not citizens, and that the junta perpetually allowed to rule here - the communist plantation owners who took over from the preceding colonialist bunch - are as dangerous to our safety as the Khmer Rouge was to Cambodians.

They’re just more incremental.

much to my surprise, PSA did include the 30rd window PMAG with the rifle shipment.  despite all the check-out warnings and disclaimers.

Well that sucks. Last year I was attempting to purchase some 10rd. MKIV mags at a good price.  Couldn’t get the buy completed.  Contacted Josiah at the arfcom PSA industry forum.  He told me they were drop shipped and the vendor wouldn’t ship them here even though they were legal.

So I actually just placed an order a few days ago and it went through.  Got few 10rd AK mags and and a Romeo8T for super good prices.  It didn't ship yet but I got my fingers crossed

Things are worse than you think.  PSA will deny you buying magazines in-person at their retail stores in a different state by checking your ID and checking their online compliance page for your home state.  Vote with your wallet, don't shop there until they change their policies.  This reddit thread was about a Maryland resident trying to buy magazines at a PSA store in South Carolina.  Maryland's law is you can possess, but cannot buy hi-cap mags in Maryland.

PSA now denying IN-STORE buying of magazines for people from ban states?

 I was traveling south on i95 and stopped at the PSA store in Florence SC. Picked up two 15rd magazines and a 10rd - Proceeded to the cashier.

Cashier asked me for my ID, to which I presented it. She then said "Maryland, oh boy" - Looked at a sheet and said, "I can only sell you 10 round capacity magazines because you have a magazine restriction". To which I laughed, and asked if she was serious, unfortunately she was. I didn't argue or debate it, I just wrote them off immediately as Anti-2A.

PSA will never see me as a customer again, just a heads up for MD residence hoping to get magazines.

*Edit* - Take note of the multiple replies in this thread of those who have been denied a magazine sale in person at a PSA retail store. Do with that as you wish, I hope you spend your money elsewhere.
