the FedEx store wouldn't do it and I called the UPS Store and they won't let me ship ammo either. Is there somewhere in the Broomfield Westminster area that will ship ammo for me? I don't feel like driving all the way to the UPS hub in Commerce City.
Really? Didn't know this was an issue. I just got some delivered at my house in Thornton, not sure how different the local laws are...
AFAIK UPS is the only company that knowingly ships ammo.
Don't know if it's changed recently but CMP used FEDEX Ground for their ammo shipments.
UPS and FEDEX stores are not owned nor run by UPS or FEDEX. They are privately owned franchises and have their own rules and that is usually no gun stuff period.
Go online to UPS.com and set up a shipment there, print out a label and set up a pick up at your home (depending on where you are you may have to pay a small fee for pick up service). There is also a UPS hub in Boulder, don't know if that is closer than Commerce City or not.
1, you can do this in your pajamas. 2, shipping direct with UPS online the majority of thetime is close to half the price of what it would cost at a UPS store.
Awesome thanks. I will do this. I already have the ORM-D label on the box.Quote:

Changed on Jan 1st. I had to put the box with a "Y" on all 4 sides and write "Limited Quantities" on all 4 sides.
There are two versions of the new "limited quantities" label. The one without a Y is for surface transport (like UPS ground), the one with a Y is for air transport.Quote:

I've had success shipping ammunition by packing it, printing an online label, and scheduling a UPS pickup.
Edit: The old "ORM-D" labels are still valid as well, we are currently in a phase-out period where either can be used. I like the new ones because they don't advertise the contents.
Just got an ammo shipment and it had the old label. Just picked up my S&W back from service from fedex on 120/Federal too
UPS store at Thornton pkwy and Washington blvd always took my ammo drop offs for bullet boy ammo when he was in business.
I see no reason they would not take it.
I think your problem is asking, just label it and go ship it.
Whenever I ship ammo through UPS at work I just slap the ORM-D "small arm cartridges" on it and I've never had an issue. I haven't heard of any new changes but then again it's probably cause where I work is not an ammo distr or ffl.
They can deliver it damn near anywhere.Quote:

The nearest one is probably the UPS hub in Combat City, 5190 Ivy Street.
All I know is I showed up with a box of 170 rounds with 2 ORMD lables on it and had to use a marker to put the square with a "Y" and print "limited quantities" on all 4 sides before they would ship it.Quote:

Shipping brass is not the same as shipping live ammo.Quote:

Of course I said ammo and he said "no go" and even showed me their written policy. I have a UPS pickup scheduled for tomorrow.
Remembered this post when a friend asked about me shipping him some ammo... Anyone know if there's additional charges when shipping ammo, and what is the round/weight limit?
