Shipping ammo within the US

[PARA45]

What is the easiest way to ship ammo within the US? An FFL is saying shipping ammo is complicated, but wouldn’t say how. Thanks!!

UPS Ground has always worked for me.

Any issues declaring what is it, or special handling?

I ship ammo all the time with zero issues. My pack and ship shop seals it up and ships via FedEx

The biggest issue is finding an employee at the store who doesn’t look at you like a heroin dealer when you state what you’re shipping.

I’ve always shipped ammo via UPS ground without any issues at all.

If I do the online print label, there is a box where either it's a drop down menu or I type in "limited quantity small arms ammunition". Nothing special to it as far as cost or anything like that.

It's been a little while since I shipped, but super easy.

I've always read on here that a UPS store won't do it. Customer service center only. I don't have one of those within 100 miles. The one a mile away stopped doing it a couple years ago.
I've got some oddball ammo I've always wanted to try and sell but haven't tried yet for that reason.
22 jet, 5mm rim fire and a couple others.

I just experienced this the hard way. UPS has changed its system and shipping ammo must be done through a main customer service center.
I don’t have one close either-in fact they closed the one that was here. After dealing with my local ffl friend and a couple strangers on gunbroker, it seems FedEx is the best current option. I have not had occasion to send with them but have received multiple pkgs and they have been seamless. Good luck!

Schedule a pickup.

FYI, UPS Stores won't even sell you an empty box if you mention it's for anything gun related. Has to go thru main center.

not so. find a UPS Main Center NOT a franchise store. Then stick on your ammunition decal easily found online then easy!!!
