    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.

    However, UPS and FedEx will only accept ORM-D (household good which are considered hazardous materials) for shipping at their hubs.

    The nearest one is probably the UPS hub in Combat City, 5190 Ivy Street.

    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.
    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.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    Shipping brass is not the same as shipping live ammo.

    The funny thing is I shipped a gun at the Fedex store on 120th today and they were fine. I have shipped a half a dozen guns from there in the last several years. I had the ammo too, in a separate package of course with the ORM-D small cartridge label on it and it was all but shipped when he asked what it was. 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?
