Sending ammo Fed Ex

[spec4]

Can anyone walk me through sending about 150 rounds of 20 gauge shotgun ammo by Fed Ex to a relative in TX? Their web site is confusing (at least to me).

Do you have a FedEx Office nearby? I would take the ammo in there and ask them. I would assume they know how and what to do to ship in right. FedEx ships my ammo I buy from bulkammo so I know they DO ship ammo. -Jason

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just send them the money to buy it locally?

What Uncle Harley said↑↑↑↑ Even if you got it Cheap, Shipping Prices?????

When I asked my local Fedex they said No! They would not ship ammo. I am not sure if that is that stores policy over all. They said it was.

Ups has always been the easiest for me to ship ammo through. Mark it with the proper ord (has changed I believe but you can Google and find the printable ones needed) I went to several FedEx stores and they were a pita. But again so are some of the ups locally owned stores but the hub don't give a care they ship it no questions

This with some clarifications ^^^

You no longer use the ORM-D labels, they've been replaced by a white diamond with black line through it. I print them and tape them on. UPS will ONLY ship ammo if it's dropped off at a hub, or you have a regularly schedule pick-up route and it's given directly to the driver. Anything outside that is outside their policy/rules.

FedEx has similar policies but from my understanding their hubs can be very picky about sticking to their policies so you may get more push-back when trying to ship fedex.

Thanks for the tips folks. I'll give the UPS hub a try.
