In my location (SW Michigan) the only option is UPS Ground with ORM-D label. Loaded ammo cannot be shipped by US Mail and FedEx requires Hazmat certification to ship.

FedEx doesn't require HazMat in my area. Didn't know they did at all.

FedEx does not charge Hazmat fees for shipping loaded ammo. I have shipped loaded ammo by FedEx for years and never paid a Hazmat fee.

Default Ammo shipping

They do require adult signature from the receiver of the ammo.They charge a little extra for this.

Is the cost prohibitive?

Yes and no. UPS front loads the price so the first 1-2 pds is 10-13$, so 1 50 rd box of 9mm is about 11.50 depending on where it going to and where it's coming from. If you are buying a case ( 1000 rds ) price is 25-30$ approx! You can figure out cost by going to UPS, you need the dimensions of box, weight, zip codes your location to shipped location, residential,insurance, go ground. You can figure it out plus or minus 2$, sometimes they have a fuel "surcharge" depending where you live. Pack it well, no loose rounds rolling around, they will make you repack if it "shakes"? Be Safe,
