    Default where to ship ammo in Broomfield area?

    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.

    The UPS hub is the only place. And you'll need this:

    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.

    BTW, the ORM-D lable is dead.I shipped ammo out last week and even checked the website but look here. http://www.fibrebox.org/Calendar/Det...x?EventID=3215

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

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

    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.



    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.
