I own a lot of M-P molds and I can say both the molds and service have always been first rate. But today things have reached an all new level! I ordered a mold on the 28th - I just recieved notice that the mold is Out-for-delivery! HOW does that happen???!!! Simply amazing and a new record for me I think! Hell, it takes 10 days for Midway orders to get to me in Mi from Mo. This mold made it in 4 days including order processing time from Europe- just fantastic! Looks like I am casting this weekend

A couple years ago I bought some stuff from a guy I know in the Czech Republic. He had to disassemble the items and sent the stuff in 2 separate packages. He shipped on a Monday and I had them in hand that Thursday. I still can't believe it.

MP Molds has better shipping and customer service than Amazon. That man and his team cant seem to wait to push molds out the door. I have always been happy with them.

I love MP molds, they have always been fantastic. I suspect the shipping is more a factor of superior foreign postal service...

I have had the same experience with MP and if I remember correctly he uses DHL for shipping. For some reason they are better than the others and get stuff shipped quick!

The only thing better than M&P shipping is their product.

My one problem with MP Molds is they are too pretty to use! I honestly wish I had a mantle to display a couple sets of his brass molds on. Currently have a brand new .44 SWC mold on my bench that I’ve been too busy to use.

It is good BUT at $31.00 shipping per mold (~40% of last purchase) let's not give him all the credit.

Even with the shipping, brass MP molds are less than aluminum Accurate molds (which I have several and will buy more) or NOE. Plus they have the solid or hp options. I own one NOE hp mold and it's not as easy to cast with as the flat bottom MP hp molds.

Make no mistake: I consider my MP molds the best I own. I’m just making a statement that delivery performance is certainly partly attributable to top-tier shipping performance, and that we are certainly paying for it.
I also have RCBS iron and NOE and LBT aluminum molds. MP are the best!

MP has a great mold and delivery times are great, I wish NOE was as efficient, I really like their molds too. I've yet to order an Accurate mold, their website intimidates me for some reason.

Mihec's molds used be kinda pricey during the old group buy days but after a couple dud Lyman molds (undersized even with their spec'd alloy) I moved to strictly Accurate, NOE and MP.
Even more so now Lyman's are costing more for some reason than MP Molds. Hmmm. Oh, Bidenomics.
