    Default Ridiculous RAM

    Just been quoted nearly R900 to ship 1 x boxed pistol from Durban to Cape Town with RAM!
    Only 1.3kg...
    Does this sound right??? Has anyone shipped recently?

    Just paid R669 for one from Middelburg to Benoni. So sounds like a bargain.

    I was quoted R600 from Ermelo to Rustenburg.

    Considering they are are the only courier company licensed to do so (And the cost of these licences and insurance and headache's etc) it seems fair?

    A few months ago they quoted me just over R700 to courier small pistol primers from Pretoria to Cape Town. The package weight was 400g.

    Their prices are never consistent.
    They quoted me almost a R1000 for a pistol from JHB to CPT (private seller to me). But when a gunshop did it to me, it was like R600

    Prices they quote on the website and when you phone in also always differ. Remember that Dealers also get Dealer prices on shipping.

    Its called Monopoly pricing.
    The crazy part for me is except for the price.
    If you supply a home address and your not there at time. They will give to your wife or even cleaning lady that opens the door. There were several of these stories mentioned on forum.

    Last rifle they brought down for me. I had delivered to dealer in Parow. Guy arrived with normal RAM bakkie. Not even the usual slightly armored one.
