Well I finally sold my last HArdigg gun case and sold some(700 rounds) M193 rounds. I read up on Federal laws to ship the ammo and Fedex requirements. I even called them and they said I was good to go after the ordnance sticker and packing the ammo correctly, to drop it off to their hub. I show up and they refuse to ship it for me. I was told I had to have HazMat Training which is required to qualify to ship all Hazardous Materials. Ammunition is a Hazardous Material. No Drop-Off, package must be picked up by FedEx.
So I did some more research when I got home and UPS was more willing to help me out.
1. Pack ammo within a sturdy cardboard box, gross weight limit of 66 pounds. . OK just 31.1 pounds
2. Print ORM-D label, cut out and tape to a least one side of box. DONE
3. Take package to a UPS Customer Center only - NOT at Drop-Off Box, The UPS Store, Mail Boxes etc., Sonic. Might be a good idea to have the UPS Hazardous Material Support Center number with you -- 800-554-9964. Varied success with UPS pick-up at your location.
Wish me luck tomorrow, I drop it off in the morning and hope it goes smoothly. Also do not lie like others have suggested to me, it is a felony if you do and get caught so dont.
As for USPS Shipping of Ammunition is Prohibited, you will be lucky not to get arrested asking them about it.
Ammunition (Cartridges, small arms) is a nonmailable hazardous material. "Under no circumstances may any nonmailable hazardous material, restricted matter, or perishable matter be deposited for mailing."
