Shipping Ammunition question

[AR-Ballistic]

I live in Santa Clarita (near Magic Mountain) and have always been hesitant to ship ammunition because I thought it was a hassle but am starting to warm up to it.Can anyone in my area give me some advice on where I should go to ship ammunition? Is the UPS Center in Sylmar my only option? Thanks, Mike

I usually ship it in the USPS flat rate priority mail boxes.

Can't ship anything explosive/corrosive via Priority because it flies. FWIW, SATS.

10.11 Explosives (Hazard Class 1)
10.11.1 Definition

An explosive is any substance, article, or device that is designed to function by explosion (i.e., an extremely rapid release of gas and heat) or that, by chemical reaction within itself, is able to function in a similar manner even if not designed to function by explosion, unless the substance or article is otherwise classed under the provisions in 49 CFR. Hazard class 1 has six divisions as shown in Exhibit 10.4. No further explanation of the six divisions is provided in these standards because explosives are prohibited in the mail except as permitted in 10.11.2.
10.11.2 Mailability

Explosives are prohibited in international mail. Explosives are prohibited in the domestic mail via air transportation. For domestic surface transportation, explosives are prohibited except for certain Division 1.4S toy propellant devices and safety fuses specifically approved by the manager of Mailing Standards (see 608.8.0 for address) before mailing. A mailable explosive must meet the packaging and marking requirements provided with the manager's approval. A shipping paper is required.

Don't ship ammo by USPS you might get a friendly call from a postal inspector or you may just get a fine. I know of a guy that was shipping ammo through the USPS and has done it for years until one of his boxes got damaged in shipment they were nice and let him off with a warning.
UPS ground is easy to ship ammo with, you do have to have it marked with a ORMD label, i usually take it to the ups store but they may make you take it to the closest hub.
