Shipping AMMO

[sportingman]

Just wondering how many people here either ship or receive ammo person to person. I have been trying to find a shipping company that will transport some ammo (box or two),but have come up empty.

DHL, canpar... a few other couriers

Fedex seems to be cheapest by far.

I checked with fedex, and to ship ammo from me to you, they told me they do not do it.

"Division 1.4 consists of explosives that present a minor blast hazard. Examples are common fireworks, toy caps, empty primed grenades, and some small arms ammunition."

Small Arms Ammunition (except for .50) is Hazard Classification Code (HCC) 1.4, Division "S". If properly packaged they shouldn't have a problem.
