Just tell the postal office your shipping it to antifa headquarters , they will probably do it for free.
Not supposed to, but I bought ammo and primers and they both came in flat rate boxes
Same here. Didn't think you could, but did recieve it in flat rate. Wasn't marked either.
That's what usps gets for handing out free shipping materials. I've received a lot of stuff via ups that was packed with usps materials.

No go on USPS. I have used UPS before. Need's to have black and white Limited Quantity diamond. Also needs to go to a UPS Customer Center (counters at UPS operational facilities), not a UPS store.
I know two guys that survived having the freight they were flying burst into flames and burn very vigorously. They got the airplane on the ground at night, at an airport that had not been attended or lit up. The controller was able to contact someone to come out and turn on the runway lights, which came on only shortly before their landing of a smoke filled aircraft. They were only a few minutes from certain death.
Undeclared, improperly packaged hazmat kills.
Pilots that have had an uncontrolled cargo fire inflight and survived is a very small fraternity.
Don't ship undeclared hazmat.
People on other forums have had ammo that was shipped via USPS in violation of their rules simply disappear. The Post Office will NOT return it to sender due to the improper shipping method.
I believe it's more than a violation of rules, pretty sure it's a felony. The same is true for fedex and UPS or whatever -- if it ends up on a plane, or attempted to be loaded onto a plane, it becomes a big deal. Definitely make sure the person you are shipping with knows how to deal with ammunition.
FedEx you have to call and schedule a drop-off at their facility. UPS you can just show up and ship at a customer center. Note that a customer center is a hub with a customer counter NOT a retail UPS outlet at a mall or whatever. UPS will have the labels and everything you need, much more pleasant to ship through them than FedEx.
A side note for UPS -- they say the max weight for ammunition is 66lbs but if you go over 50lbs by a single ounce it will go from being a $20-100 shipment to being $150-400. Learned that the hard way.
A few delivery companies are shipping ammo. This is a big problem for me. There aren't shops where you can go and buy the ammo for your hunting rifle in my country. This is why I had to spend a lot of time searching for a delivery company ta could ship ammo. Luckily, UPS deals with such parcels, and also it is an excellent delivering company. Most of all, I like that they have an extraordinary package tracker. If your parcel is coming from abroad, you can use the tracking system to get a notification when it is situated when you request the location.
