Anyone know of a coated-lead bullet manufacturer that ships via UPS?

Chandler’s use of UPS was one of my favorite things about BBI.

USPS doesn’t even estimate a delivery date—shipping takes at least ten days.

I found that Xtreme Bullets ships via UPS. Plated instead of coated, and slightly more expensive, but I wouldn't be surprised if the bullets I ordered from them today arrived sooner than the ones that shipped via USPS on Feb 20.
 
I've used a lot of XTreme plated bullets for reloading as they can be cheaper than coated bullets depending on their sales. I will say that I haven't been able to pull very many of the coated bullets if I have an issue with my press.
 
I feel ya
Ordered 1000 coated from brass monkey
And they sat in the Greensboro USPS distribution center for around 30 days. The guys at brass monkey were great and rushed me another 1000 and I got them in 2 days ….About 10 days later I got the first 1000.
It’s usually the free shipping at USPS and Fed Ex that bites me on the butt.

Not sure if Everglades ammo sells coated but they have really good plated bullets and FmJ bullets. shipping via UPS is included.
 
I still cast my own mostly. I buy plated and jacketed stuff but my dad left me a pretty darn good selection of molds and I spent years with him loading and casting .
I shoot way more of my cast than jacketed stuff. I mostly shoot handgun though.
