shipping ammunition via UPS Ground

[dobe77]

I think I understand the requirements, but I thought I would see if anyone with knowledge on this subject could comment.

• UPS Ground only
• Ammo cannot exceed .50 cal
• Weight cannot exceed 66 lbs
• Must be marked with a Limited Quantity Hazard Label (black & white)
• Double boxed

I will probably print the label from a googled pic from the internet and then tape it to the package.

Thanks.

Sounds about right. Will add that UPS stores, at least around me, won't take ammo shipments. It must be shipped at a UPS Hub

Not double boxed. Double walled cardboard. (Regular cardboard) I could be wrong, but I’ve shipped thousands of lbs. lol

Make sure to use a UPS hub. Stores wont take it

If I am using a prepaid label, can I hand it to a UPS delivery person?

I just know that my driver acts grumpy sometimes when he drops off a box or two.

When Winchester issued their recall that's what I did, so I would think that would be fine.

Thanks for the reply. That is what I will try.

Mine says "ANOTHER BOX OF AMMO! YOU SURE DO BUY A LOT!" but I think he's trying to be funny, not grumpy.

I don't remember if it was my UPS driver or my FedEx driver, but one of them used to say, "Got some more gun food for you!"

Yeah, now that I think about it, I believe it was UPS. We also have a sign on our front door that says, "If no answer, ring dinner bell at corner of garage." That's so we'll know if somebody comes to the door when we're out on the deck. He used to ring the bell even if I had met him at the door just because he liked ringing it.
