    Default Shipping ammo

    I'm looking at shipping a very small amount of ammo through the mail. I'm doing a small trade of ammo for collection purposes more than anything, and need to ship out about 40rounds of .308 in two little boxes.

    How should I go about this? I hear that the regular post office is a big no-no, and I'm left with FedEx and UPS.

    What do you guys recommend, and how much am I looking to paying for shipping?

    Pack the box, go to Ups.com, there's a link to calculate costs. Screw the post office.

    I don't think ammo can go through the USPS, all my long distance ammo purchases come through UPS. FedEx is $$$

    UPS is the only reasonable way to go.

    I recently sent several boxes of ammunition to someone in the Pittsburgh area and the cost was less than $12 bucks. I use UPS at least three times a week for my business and highly recommend them.

    the man is right, you must mark the box ORM-D onn the outside.

    USPS cannot ship ammunition.
