The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The UPS site is USELESS on this Ammo does go as HAZ-MAT(ground only)but is marked "ORM-D". Doesn't say you can't ship BP ammo DON'T use a UPS store, go to a "hub". LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Once loaded, BP is simply "ORM-D" like any other ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Smokeless and Black Powder ammunition is handles the same by UPS. However when filling out the paper work, it asks for a description of contents. "Small Arms Ammunition" is all you need to put there. Do Not put Smokeless or Black Powder. After years of shipping ammunition of all flavors and the hassles of new counter people, a supervisor finally said to put as little as I could and meet the requirements. I place ORM-D stickers on top and two sides. They can furnish the stickers if you don't print them yourself. Also some counter people will ask you the caliber and then write it on the side of the box on the outside. 1. don't tell them the caliber. 2. Ask for supervisor if the counter person press it and let the supervisor educate their counter person. When I am asked "What Calibers?" I ask them for a copy of their driver's license. If they put the caliber on the box, it is a shopping list for thieves. If it does not arrive at it's destination, I want to know who I'm going to bill for losses and I have their drive's licenses in case I have to go to court. In every case the supervisor educated them right then and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
