Ammo shipping tips?

[c good]

Looking into shipping some ammo to a fellow Calgunner. Never shipped ammo before. Any tips on who to use to ship and what, if any special steps need to be taken when shipping ammo? Thanks, c good

I've never had a problem using UPS. Can't use UPS stores though. Have to go to local terminal.

Don't use the USPS.

If you disclose that it's ammo, it has to be shipped by an ORMD certified shipping person. This is why all the UPS stores refuse to ship ammo. Same goes for any flammable explosive or semi-dangerous contents.

However, if you ship tools such as wrenches and hammers of any caliber, they don't ask questions. Be sure and use a decent and sturdy box. Box throwers live up to their job title at UPS.
