Hey all, just a piece of advice for everyone who lives in an apartment. Bruno's sent my primers via Fedex with a signature required, and since I wasn't home they delivered it to my leasing office. Unfortunately, they also put an "explosives" sticker on it, so the people at the office were freaking out that I was building a bomb or something. My gf picked up the package and she didn't tell me about it until later. I'm hoping they don't call the police and search my place, I know the authorities must be on high alert because of the date today.

Do a lot of places put that sticker on the package when they ship primers? I've gotten primers from Midway and Cabelas, and neither of them did that...

I've received primers with "Solid Explosives" stickers on them. I don't remember from where though.

It's a requirement to have the package labeled that way to comply with all the 'hazmat' shipping rules.

If your leasing company asks (not that they have any business), just tell them you are into model rockets and that model rocket motors are solid explosives.

Which is no longer true, but still a good little white lie.

ah come on, how many people REALLY know the difference between flammable solids and solid explosives?
What's one little number past the decimal point really matter?
