Anyone Here Use Brownells "Edge" Shipping Program?

For $49.95 you get free standard shipping for every order for a year. Of course it's not really free or they wouldn't charge $49.95, but it still sounds like a good deal.
Plus, if you want expedited shipping, they deeply discount it if you're in their Edge program.
I "think" this may be a great deal if you buy a lot of stuff from Brownells in a years time.
That being said, anyone here use it?
Yes, I realize, one would be more likely to order his gun stuff from Brownells alone with this shipping program...so this is a form of canny marketing, but I think maybe, a very good one for both parties.

I use it and I order from Brownells about once a month.
For me it has paid for itself on the first three orders. I like it. It is like Amazon Prime Shipping for gun stuff
Also, when new products come in, Edge Customers are the first to know about it.
Just my .02,

LeonCarr,
Thank you for your response.
Yeah, it's a very good deal even if you buy just a few times a year, especially on ammo.

No, because they've had a coupon code for free shipping for >$150 orders for several years now. I can usually wait on buying something cheap until I buy something else more expensive until I get the free shipping, and if I can't wait, I'd have to have this happen a couple times a year before Edge would save me money.

CleverNickname,
You have admirable discipline that saves you money.
Me, when I want something, I don't have your patience.
So, if I buy a gizmo and a gadget here and there, the "Edge" program looks like it would work for me.
Now, I have to see how much gun stuff I buy internet order in a year's time.
I do remember buying a few small items that cost less the shipping charge and found that supremely galling.

Yikes!
Your approach to shipping is something I wish I could do.
I just bought a Sopmod B-5 FDE Bravo stock from them and of course haven't yet signed up for the "Edge" program (paid $7.95 shipping) and absolutely couldn't wait for $150.0 worth of purchases to add up in order to take advantage of the free shipping.
sigh...

Abraham thank you for this post. I somehow had missed finding out about Brownell's Edge program. Amazon Prime for gun stuff...cool!
