Cheaper to buy stripped lowers local, than anywhere online?

[na4now]

I'm assembling an ar style pistol, for my latest project. My last build, the stripped lower from spikes, took 4 months to arrive. This go round I thought I'd just order a few stripped lowers, so I wouldn't have to wait for future builds.

I went to PSA and put 5 forged lowers in my cart. Shipping on them is $35 total. Im a member at Precision, so I called them to see how much the ffl transfer would be. $25 PER lower....and that's a greatly discounted price for members. Pelican Pawn in Denham charges $25 for the first, and $10 for each after.

If I went with Pelican Pawn, the average $$ for each receiver is $120 after shipping and transfer. That's about $10 a piece MORE, than if I bought these local.

Any suggestions?

Check with Jason with Pelican. He's a sponsor as well. I'm sure he will chime in soon plus he has an outstanding relationship with PSA.

That'd end up being more than Pelican in denham. Either way, it's cheaper to buy local, and pay sales tax. Doesn't make much sense.

Our normal charge is $20 for the first and 10 each after. If your getting 5 lowers from PSA I will do them all for $30.
Just ask for me.

I got lucky and on of the local drug reps has a ffl. So he gives the DRs free transfers and cost in guns
