What companies ship ammo to Alaska?

@AK Troutbum I've flown AK Airlines but ammo has always been in a locked gun case. Can ammo just be in a brown cardboard box? Or when you have others fly up with it are you also sending a pelican case or something similar too?

Just has to be in the "original manufacture's packaging," doesn't need to be locked, can just be in your regular luggage. I've even taken two flats of 12 ga shells, taped them together, and checked them just like that.

Thanks fellas. This thread is gold trying figure out the best methods of getting ammo in SW AK.

Yeah don't do the mail thing - didn't know and did that once. Luckily I didn't get in trouble. It was unfortuante too - I got an empty box that had gotten wet and fallen apart. Apparently it had fallen into some liquid and when they picked it up the ammo fell out of the box. The empty box was in a bag with a note that said any banned items had been confinscated. I was happy it wasn't worse and had to refund the guy his ammo *gunbrokergonebad.
I haven't done this but was told that Sportsmans and Cabelas wont do ship to store which is ridiculous if that true since they are already shipping ammo - anybody able to confirm or refute that?

Sorry to dig up an old post but if one is moving to Alaska and has alot of ammo is it economical to use one of the services reccomended like Carlile or Span Alaska?

Alaska Marine only allows 100lbs. Im going to have to find another way to move all my other gear as well.

Carlille MyConnect is the way to go. I regularly ship 45 lb boxes that cost $23.96 to Anchorage.

What did you end up doing? I have a lot of ammo I need to get up there and driving it across the border isnt an option it seems.

UPS, FedEx, and USPS won't ship ammunition to Alaska.
So either get a pallet barged up, or pay out the nose for someone willing do do it. Or buy local, like everyone else.

You need to ship it to them via UPS or FedEx.

Your local UPS store will not ship hazardous material/ ammo. But ammo can be shipped for their UPS HUB. A person can go to their UPS "HUB" to ship ammo privately to someone. You do not need to setup an account (when I did it.)

I havent made a move yet, but trying to decide for next year in May. If the border isnt an option then either drive on the ferry or use one of the services listed I guess are the only 2 options.

Are you already there or planning on moving too? What part of Alaska?
