Ammo shipments have a sticker on them. Small arms, I believe.
many versions, should be same rules, but not always
I have a Fed Ex account, and I buy and ship guns and ammo. I also have a C&R FFL and can and do receive C&R guns at my house, and have shipped C&R guns direct to other C&R holders residences.
As far as ammo is concerned the shipper must apply a "Limited Quantity" sticker (NOT the old blue small arms ammunition sticker...that one is obsolete). Limited Quantity can be perfume, ammo and even some other item if I recall.
My local Fed-Ex driver is usually the same guy for the last couple years and yes....he does scan the backside of my Virginia Drivers license which has a barcode. It is a Fed-Ex rule, not the drivers choice and he has told me that by doing so he has confirmed that the package (whether gun, ammo or perfume) was delivered to the addressee in person exactly to the labels airway bill.
I don't personally have any problems with this "rule" as it protects Fed-Ex, their employees, me and my family and I don't worry about porch pirates because things are not just left on the porch.
Heck...even Lowes and Home Depot scan my drivers license after I put in my phone number for military discount so no big deal there either.

From what I have been told from a couple different drivers after a while they recognize company names and addresses.They may not know exactly whats in the carton but they have a real good idea!
Thats even if the company uses a separate identity to send or receive items.
I'ma step way out in traffic here and surmise that anyone who has the ability to order ammunition over the internet has a gov't issued photo id . . .

I really don't have a problem with this even though I've never had to do it. As long as it gets to the right address and is undamaged and correct it's ok with me.
ive had mine scanned..if their ever was a problem id want to know who recieved it..iv had an empty box delivered before by ups and everbody wanted to play stupid..took a week to get the money back even with insurance...cheap insurance to me..

I could care less if they scan my DL. It gets scanned at Walmart when I buy ammo there, also if I buy a bottle of wine there. The gun shop scans it when buying guns or ammo. All the grocery stores scan it for liquor purchases. Everybody else looks at it more than I do............ Just asked the question that I did for a friend.
You’re gonna have to explain how that statement relates to presenting an ID to receive an ammo delivery . . .

Our civil division was the in SO building for many years, and the oddest thing about my orders was that they were only in case lots. Worked funny hours and would sometimes sign for their stuff if I could, although I did refuse to sign for cars and had a deputy sent in from the road for those.
I used to have ammo delivered to my office in the courthouse before then, and once they just left case on the counter of another office due to lunch. Now that we are all in one building again, I just let our receptionist know and she takes care of it if I am not there.

OOPS !
Its been so long since i have had ammo shipped to my house i forgot about the sticker
That's not correct. Primers and powder incur a hazmat fee and the shipper must be approved by UPS. Up to 66#'s of ammunition can be shipped UPS ground with no hazmat fee, provided the new ORM-D sticker is on the box. There are other UPS and State restrictions, so you better know the rules and State laws.

FedEx
I have had to present my DL to the FedEx driver when receiving primer or powder.
UPS leaves the same items and drives off.
I have learned not to order items from companies that insist on "signature required" and ship by FedEx.
I have to go to the post office this morning to sign for a Lee crimping die that I ordered from Amazon.

I will pay for yours if I can watch you attempt to board an airplane, present it to LE during a traffic stop, or enter a federal courthouse using it . . .

Got to have a DL or some sort of state ID card anymore. I inadvertently showed my Retired Military ID at the airport. They wanted my DL, not that military stuff.
