I have never shipped ammo but in the last few weeks I have had a friend sell some ammo for me on gunbroker.
He has had a fit trying to ship it out from the UPS main hub in Bristol Virginia. They told him he had to have a contract with them to ship the ammo, advised him they would ship it one time but never a gain. Please explain to me exactly how you go about shipping ammo. It came to me via UPS and was never taken out of the case it was shipped in. |

Problem is, most UPS hub employees don't know their own rules very well, so you end up having to do this little song-and-dance to get them to ship your ammo sometimes. |

Easiest way:
1. Open a UPS account online. Time: 5 minutes and a credit card 2. "Prepare a shipment." Time: 5 minutes 3. "Schedule a pickup." Time: 1 minute 4. Print out this label, cut it out, and stick it on box: 
5. Put box on doorstep for UPS driver. Get on with life. I do this all the time. Works flawlessly, and you can substitute "FedEx" for anywhere it says "UPS." |
