Shipping Ammo

Of course, flying commercially with checked ammo is no problem at all :/

yep, and no hazmat or packaging requirements

My experience with a small package, 40 rounds, was that as soon as you put that hazmat placard on it, very few stores will even want to touch it. Like others said, it may be a manager power trip of not wanting to deal with it, or they may just not be willing to admit they don't know their own rules as well as they should. The lesson I learned was call ahead and make sure they will accept ammo. I ended up at a Fedex warehouse and a guy there helped me out because he could see how ridiculous the runaround was they were putting me through and he knew what needed to happen. It can be a PITA for sure, but sounds like some others have it figured out.

I was tempted to remove the label and ship it as 'books' or something but the reason for the placard is so that it doesn't go on a plane, it goes by truck only, so keep that in mind if you decide to go that route. Plus at some point in label generation they do ask 'is there anything hazardous?'.

Same experience. Decided it wasn’t worth it..
