Selling and Shipping Ammo

[stan5677]

I know I'm wrong but I've shipped FedEx and just packaged everything good and tight so nothing rattles

Above will all work 99.9% of the time, but if there is a shipping problem or claim you’ll likely lose out. Since UPS was so clear in the website description about how to do it, I simply followed their instructions and wasnt trying to hide anything…and of course got denied. My local gun shop shipped it for me, i’ve been a customer there for multiple decades and the owner knows my face, so he was more than happy to help me. It worked out but I wont be making a habit of it—not worth the hassle.

I know this an old thread but I just dealt with this and it's a PIA. Don't trust folks at the stores. Ups store guy told me you had to have an FFL, FedEx lady told me it's federally illegal to ship ammo. I just printed off that diamond and setup a shipment for UPS from the house and declared it as "cartridges" and they picked them up just fine.

I have a couple friends that just ship it through USPS and say it's fragile and has glass
I'm not that brave

I may or may not have sent and received via USPS many many times without issue. The cool thing is they'll pick it up from the house for free for Priority Mail or Ground Advantage.

I can see why a person maybe would with the prices UPS charges. I'm done shipping ammo cause I doubt I'll be able to sell it for what I'd need to get to justify the cost

A UPS service center near me refused to ship a box of 100 game king bullets. I sent my brother a box of fishing sinkers the next week. They're infringing but only because the government is threatening them. Financially they love to ship lead.

I shipped two boxes of ammo via UPS a couple weeks ago and the cost was $12.95. That seemed reasonable enough.

I think sometimes folks get confused between the UPS store (which absolutely won't accept firearms or ammo...knowingly) and UPS Service Center.

I was at my local UPS Service Center a few weeks back to mail a package and asked if there were any changes to their ammunition shipping policy. I was told no change...can ship ammo (cartridges - small arms) as described in the UPS policy.

UPS Store prices are MUCH higher than UPS Service Center prices. You are paying for the middle man at UPS Stores.

You can ship a shit ton of lead bullets in a USPS flat rate box. Lead is not on the no ship list.
