Shipping question?

[alingo2001]

I need to ship 14 boxes of 9mm to my dad. He can't get it where he's at. I don't have the cardboard boxes that it came in, just the 50 count boxes. What can I ship it in? What do I need to label it as? Where do I need to go to ship it? I'm in between Smyrna and Mboro so that may help on the where to ship part.

Thanks.

You can ship ammo via Fedex Ground or UPS Ground.

It only has to have prominent marking (not on shipping label, but on side of package) saying:

ORM-D

Small Arms Ammunition

I'm pretty sure there is no additional paperwork necessary.

I don't think you can send via USPS at all, but not 100% sure about that.

Just pack the individual ammo boxes in a sturdy box with as little wasted space as possible, pack chips or paper in the unused space tightly, and tape the crap out of it so that everything holds together.

Can i just write ORM-D and Small Arms Ammunition on it or do I need some sort of label?

Again, AFAIK, you can just neatly write it with Sharpie or whatever.

I used to carry handwritten ones when I was a FedEx Ground guy; lots of things are ORM-D, not just ammo.

Worst case, just take your package in, and absolute worst, they give you a label or make you redo it....

If I'm wrong on any of this, please repost ... but I don't think you'll have any probs.

Sending firearms is another matter, as neither FedEx or UPS will necessarily live up to their own printed rules!
