Cholla Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 This is just plain ignorant, The government can have a fleet of nuclear warships without an issue. It can send people into orbit without an issue. Yet transporting hazardous material is out of their capabilities? And yet, private sector companies can do it all day long. Does anyone get the impression that FedEx and UPS wrote the USPS regulations??? And did you know shipping caster beans is prohibited??? Who knew?

That's likely because they set off the ricin detectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 IIRC primed brass is treated the same as loaded ammunition and can be shipped the same way as long as it is packaged properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Loaded ammunition and primed brass can be shipped through UPS. (not USPS) It must be a UPS hub and not a mall UPS/mail center. There must be a ORM-D label on the box. UPS will have them at the counter if you need one. I use to print that on a 2"x4" label in 3/4" tall letters and placed it on the same side as the addresses.

Mustang Gregg Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Shippable doesn't just mean (USPS) mailable. I use FedEx and UPS for ammo, powder, primers. I generally use USPS for firearms because of the usually lower cost. That just my normal way, you can ship differently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of things that can be shipped by common carriers that are nonmailable. I wish the USPS would get with the program and get up to date on this, as primed brass is not a threat to anyone....but they aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I shipped ammo at a UPS hub, they didn't have labels...they handed me a black lumber crayon and I had to draw it on the box in several places. Think ORM-D label Picasso style.

Mustang Gregg Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Phantom, No, I don't ship primers or powder out. I only receive them. I do ship and receive firearms by all three aforementioned shippers. MG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
