What's the deal if I wanted to ship ammo? I have 100rds of .40 and that's a caliber I don't own and I'm not interested in owning. With ammo being what it is I'd like to offer them up but if shipping is a huge hassle then they can sit on the shelf.
Trade it. You'll find plenty of takers. And no its not a hassel. I use UPS, label it as "drill bits" and ship it. I think you can use USPS as well (though I'd check). That would be cheaper as you can use those flat rate boxes.

Ship it UPS as what it is. They'll slap on a sticker that says ORM-D (Other Regulated Materials - Domestic transport only) and you're good to go. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ORM-D

I've shipped ammo via UPS.......... I printed the ORM-D label and stuck it on before I got there, but as JF posted, they will put one on there for you.

This is the critical part to shipping ammunition. If it is 50 caliber or less, or 8 gauge or less, UPS will take the shipment in a sturdy box marked with a ORM-D, Cartridges, Small Arms label on the outside of the box. UPS does recommend using this label as opposed to a regular ORM-D label from our research and inquiries to UPS themselves. Part 172, subchapter E states the label should be affixed near the shipping address location on the package. By placing it here, the carrier will see it as they direct the package to the correct location during shipment.

You can ship ammo via UPS Ground.  You need to declare it, but UPS Ground will accept it and get it wherever it's supposed to go.  FedEX Ground may have the same deal.  Biggest thing is you can't send it by air, but you shouldn't have much of a problem except the expense of shipping.

 8)  i have heard that pawn shops are making good trades on ammo for guns.  Ammo easier to sell.

Sorry dude, RL caught up with me, I've been on a job the last few days, no time to think about this. I'd intended to get to the USPS monday, but it'll probably be tommorow. I've been stupid busy, which is good, because I'm getting paid. I'll stick it in the smallest box I can, and email you the amount. Chill though, we're talking small dollars here.
