Hell, NV isn't that far, just drive them there! Visit the facility, hit a casino or whorehouse - make a mini-vacation out of it.

It's a lot of work and a lot of cost for materials (certain boxes) + shipping overhead, very rare to find a gunstore that can do it or would. Except for panic times like right now, there is no profit in it. Places to look would be a lab, moderate to large ammo manufacturer, wholesaler, distributor, etc. to find someone that is hazmat certified to ship. And most of them may not help...
I did love my double sided hazmat boxes. You could pack 150 pounds of shit into a 12"x12" box and it would never break....
Maybe call Denver Bullets?
Before Greg Satre passed away, he shipped the ammo he manufactured to a lot of places.
The new owner might have some advice.
Shipping ammo is different than shipping powder or primers. Primers not in a casing. If already pressed into the casing, it can be shipped in just a flat rate box. Then if the powder is put in and a projectile, it has to be shipped ORM-D. I'm pretty much done with the researching and am probably going to sell the primers. Keep your eyes open in the next month as I will be selling them here.
Just to tease, there could be 10,000 federal hitting the trading post soon.
10 primers? I've got $0.30 cents set aside right now. ;)
First of all ORM-D does not exist any more, all US shipping companies have now adapted the international marking standard of a black diamond with black tips for shipping ammo. Ammo can be shipped by anyone via any ground service other than I believe USPS.
Primers when shipped as bare primers fall under hazardous shipping rules and require the licensing and all that jazz.. However, some guy over at the FALFiles claims that you can ship primers if you go directly to the local UPS hub itself and create the shipment there, he claims that they handle the hazardous shipping part and that he does it all the time, that does not seem to jive with what I have read elsewhere but at the same time I've never tried it. The UPS Hub for the Denver area is at 52nd and Ivy in Commerce City.
Shipping symbol that has replaced ORM-D, you can literally just draw this on the outside of the box if you like or save this image to your computer and print it out on a piece of paper and tape it to the box, I belive the minimum size of the diamond is supposed to be 4x4 inches unless the packaging does not allow for it.:
