Anyone know how to ship ammo?

Slap an ORM-D label on the box and ship it.

Where do you get this label? UPS has been no help to me at all on this so thanks for the help.

I shipped some &^*()^ ammo back to Winchester. They sent a pre-paid postage label, and they just required I write on box in big letters with marker "ORM-D" Do not believe there is a separate label for the initials.

Pack it up, write ORM-D on the box, and ship UPS ground.

I get from that publication that ammo CANNOT be shipped USPS.

341.21:c. Small Arms Ammunition. Ammunition is classified as a Division 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4 explosive, depending on the degree of hazard. Ammunition that is regulated as a Class 1 explosive and designed to be fired from a pistol, revolver, rifle, or shotgun, as well as associated primers and blank cartridges (including those designed for tools) and propellant powder for use in any firearm, is prohibited from mailing.

I found a Federal Ammo box in the garage with the ORM-D label on it. It was a case of 1000rds. I'll use it and take it to the UPS Center, I think this will work. Thanks everyone

Here is a site that you can print the ORM labels if you want.

ORM-D Labels for Shipping Ammo - Military Surplus Ammunition - Military Surplus Ammunition and Handloading - ParallaxBill's Curio & Relic and Military Surplus Firearms Forums - Message Board

Ammo can not be mailed through the USPS (mail) it must go through UPS or Fed EX. If you use UPS you need to take it to a official UPS shipping hub not one of the UPS stores which are privately owned.

I go with FedEx.....consistently cheaper than UPS

You can either print off an ORM-D label or write it in black marker and draw a box around it.

I Print out my shipping label ahead of time, and drop it off at nearest FedEx. They bill my credit card in about a week for whatever it cost - it's usually just a tad higher than the shipping calculator estimates.
