Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted March 22, 2013 Super User Posted March 22, 2013 Wow, what a pain in the butt. I never expected it to be so difficult. Hazmat training required? I expected to pay a hazmat fee but not be certified! LOL Any of you guys ever shipped ammo? Quote
mtaag3 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Who told you you needed an Hazmat license? Basically box it well and market ORM-D and you're good to go. I've shipped thousands of rounds and it's not difficult. It does have to go ground though. http://www.ehow.com/how_6606920_ship-ammunition-via-ups.html Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted March 24, 2013 Super User Posted March 24, 2013 I have shipped ammo all over the country, nothing more needed than the ORM-D label. If someone is giving you a hard time about it, get some one else on the phone. Both UPS and Fed-ex ship it for me no problems. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted March 25, 2013 Author Super User Posted March 25, 2013 Good deal, thanks fellas. I hate getting people on the phone that don't have a clue. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted March 25, 2013 Author Super User Posted March 25, 2013 So, just so I'm clear... This is a bulk pack of ammo. Wrap it, put it in another box, tape it up, put the ORM-D tag on it and take it to UPS. They will give me a price and then ship it? There's no interrogation about what is in the box, etc? Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 What he said. I've sold quite a bit of my stock awhile back. UPS Ground with an ORM-D sticker. Thats it. Who told you you needed an Hazmat license? Basically box it well and market ORM-D and you're good to go. I've shipped thousands of rounds and it's not difficult. It does have to go ground though.

Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted March 25, 2013 Author Super User Posted March 25, 2013 Any rough idea how much 1000 9mm rounds would cost to ship from your experience? Just a guess is fine. Quote

mtaag3 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I believe it should be lass than $25 if you go ground. Just try and shove it in as small a box as possible. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 The weight will get you. I'm going to guess about 30-35. Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted March 25, 2013 Super User Posted March 25, 2013 Hope you don't have to do that just for shipping primed brass..... I just threw it in a box and shipped it guy got it in 4 days. Quote
mfairchild95 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 I ship ammunition and reloading components for a living. I do have "hazmat training." You guys are correct. Loaded Ammo: shipped ground, ORM-D marked. Primed Hulls or Cases: shipped ground, no markings needed Powder or Primers: Must have proper Hazmat paperwork and markings (and the "hazmat training" they told you about) Quote

I have not figured out those regs, but thats how it is. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted April 18, 2013 Author Super User Posted April 18, 2013 It's all good, I actually ended up at a training about 10 minutes from the guy's house I just took them with me and we exchanged in person. Better than shipping Quote
