sending ammo in the US
#120847 - 11/12/08 01:33 AM

Any suggestions would be appreciated..went to UPS last evening to mail a box of .470 ammo to a member of this site--they would box it for me but would not allow me to send it with them..

What/who do you guys use??

Did you go to a UPS STORE or the actual shipping facility/terminal? I have found that the UPS retail stores will not ship ammo or any other hazardous or firearm related stuff. You have to take it to the UPS terminal/facility and they will ship it.

Last week I sent over 100lbs of loaded ammunition to someone here in the US.
I had to label it properly and ship via UPS

Look here for a simplified guide to shipping ammo.

Also, as I've had a good relationship with my local UPS store owner, he took my properly labeled crates of shotgun ammunition and put them through the system for me.
I didn't have to go to the shipping hub.

Cheers

Here is the story I got yesterday..

Even though the UPS store up town said the ditribution center would not mail it either, went there anyway..and they DID mail it..they told me as long as it was under .50 cal it can be mailed by UPS..

Thanks for your help

That's why I no longer use UPS. ( for ANYTHING)

Their policies are more restrictive then the Federal law. They have an anti-gun bent and have ever since they sold a large part of their shares of stock to foreign companies.
I use Fed-Ex.
The don't even ask what's in the box unless it's going out of the country.
