Shipping Ammo

[Ty17]

First of all, not sure if this is the correct place for this but I'm don't really see anywhere else it should go.

I see a lot of ammo for sale in the classifieds. How are you guys shipping it? I'm assuming UPS. Can you just box it up and use pirate ship or some other labeling company? I called the UPS store and they told me I can't ship ammo through them. I have some that I'd like to sell and will post it if I can figure out shipping.

Has to be shipped with the proper hazardous placard (can print online or probably get from UPS) and shipped directly through UPS, not through a UPS store. It is against pirate ship policy, so you “can’t” use them.

I have read that. When I called the UPS store they told me no though. We don't have a real UPS location within an hour of where I live so it's not really feasible for me to call them.

The closest real UPS "hub" is like an hour and 15 minutes from where I live unfortunately. Maybe I just won;t be shipping ammo. I'm hoping someone has figured out a different solution. It's crazy that I can ship a rifle or shotgun directly to someone in state with USPS but can't ship ammo.

Just list it for local sale?

Worst case, someone in another state sees what you have and offers to help you figure out a shipping option.

The UPS Store is not UPS. They don't accept it but UPS does. Do you or your wife work someplace that uses UPS? If so just ship it from there. Make sure its in a box with the Limited Quantity placard.
