yeah.
place ammo in sturdy box, unmarked.
take box to UPS store or the like.
tell clerk you are sending copper coated lead and want tracking and insurance.
bing a bang a bong..task complete.

Re: easiest Legal way to ship ammo
if it is marked ORMD can I just take it to ups or do I have to have an account with them. Thanks for the help so far.

Nope, just mark it and drop it off and pay for the shipment.

Another thing. If you aren't already, go to a UPS or FedEx dist. Facility instead of a retailer who sells their services. Usually more knowledgeable about the actual policy.

have had people get all nervous until you get a supervisor. No big deal. They do it all the time.

Yeah I couldn't remeber the designation for the 50cal stuff though. I used to have all of it memorized when I was working with k&a ammunition LLC since I did the shipping.

Re: easiest Legal way to ship ammo
The little UPS Store packaging centers here will not ship ammo or ANY gun parts. Not even a scope. I have to go to a USP hub to ship gun stuff. Just throwing this out there for others to know.

Re: easiest Legal way to ship ammo
I just shipped some and I do have a UPS acct, just like everyone said label it correctly-I just did so w/a sharpie. UPS rep said I have to take it to a hub or hand it to a driver, she said you could not drop it off at a UPS store, I handed mine to a driver and no problems.
