Conejo Kid #51342 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I have come across some 10 mm primed brass (not loaded ammo). Can I ship this through the mail (USPS, Fedex or UPS)??? I have 650 pieces of primed brass. Thanks, Conejo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusta B. Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Must be marked ORM-D & good luck finding a shipper. Much easier to de-prime & ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 My limited knowledge has me agreeing with both of the above. Be ready to pay some HazMat fees to your shipper. 650 primers cost anywhere from $12 to $30, depending on where and when you bought them. Hazmat will probably cost $25-30. Just my .02 ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Irish Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Righto about the has-mat fee vs cost of primers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drover Dan, SASS #47291 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I have ordered and received primed shotgun shells from http://www.ballisticproducts.com/ without haz mat charges. I'm sure it was UPS as it was a fairly large box. Haz mat on primers, haz mat on powder. But no haz mat on primed shells. It must be some quirk in the laws. Now, if that applies to just business I don't know. Drover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drover OR, I could be wrong. there is a posibility that loaded ammo, primers, etc..... might not consitute a hazard. I hope somebody reading this thread can tell us. thanks ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outlaw Gambler Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 A week ago I called FedEx and inquired about shipping small arms ammo and primed brass. My specific question was, Is there a haz mat fee attached to this shipment of these items. I was told no there was/is not. All I have to do is ship via Ground and mark the side of the boxes as ORM-D. So I ship three boxes marked this way for the standard ground fees and all were delivered as scheduled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Buffalo Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I get primed brass from midway USA without hazmat fees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rio Brazos Kid Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Quirk in the law, but that's how it is. Primers by themselves require Haz-Mat - Cannot be shipped by an individual. Requires licensing. Primed cases or hulls, no Haz-Mat. - Packaging restrictions apply. Powder by it'self requires Haz-Mat - Cannot be shipped by an individual. Requires Licensing. Loaded ammo does not require Haz-Mat - Packaging restrictions apply. RBK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal TKD, Sass # 36984L Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 A week ago I called FedEx and inquired about shipping small arms ammo and primed brass.

So I ship three boxes marked this way for the standard ground fees and all were delivered as scheduled.I also checked into shipping powder, primers and primed brass recently. For primed brass and loaded ammo it has to be marked ORM-D. Primers and powder have to go through a hazmat shipper. You will need to be prepared to pay the hazmat fee, the shipping costs and the fee that the hazmat shipper is going to charge you for the box. All told I was looking at about $85 to ship 8 pounds of powder. I know this guy and he told me, he would give me a break on his box. Local Hazmat shippers are sticking it to us. Worms gotta eat too.

Seamus McGillicuddy Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Cause powder is so much safer with a live primer behind it & a bullet seated in front.......... Seamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Empty cases(no live primer)and bullets can go USPS. All else is 'common-carrier'. ORM-D is a no cost HAZ-MAT label. The shipper will have them for you. Private party, can NOT ship primers or powder....... LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
