The most economical way to ship brass is in a flat rate Canada Post box. The one normally used is $20 and it is limited to 5 kgs. A second larger size is available at $22 but with the same 5 kg weight limit. This is good for anywhere in Canada. We will use this or custom package items for shipment, whichever is the more economical. The normal flat rate box will hold +200 rifle cases or about 125 M-H bullets.

The flat rate shipping is for each order, so it will not apply to every item, only to the order. The weights for the brass are listed in the description, so it is possible to estimate the weight and confirm if you will be below the 5 kgs/package limit. In some rare cases, while the weight will be less than 5 kg, the volume may prevent getting all the brass into the normal flat rate, if this is the case, there may be an additional charge ($2) for the next size up. If the weight of the order is above 5 kgs, then a second $20 flat rate charge would apply, however except for orders with heavy bullets, 5 kgs is quite a bit of brass.

Bertram is a boutique manufacturer and rather than making tens of millions of cases, they may only run 50, 000 or 100,000. This means that their set-up costs are higher. However, these small runs means that cases no one else makes (or has in stock) are available. In addition, cases are priced in $US and when this is combined with with shipping, duty, etc, the landed cost here (in $CDN) is significantly higher. At a time when others have no stock, we are able to provide the brass you need.

The flat rate boxes are actually the least expensive option, although in most cases there is a lot of wasted space in them. Unless we are shipping a single bag/box of brass to a point near to us, using a more compact custom box is 10 – 20% more expensive, for postage, than the flat rate boxes. So while they do waste space, flat rate boxes are the most cost effective way to ship in Canada.
