I have had problems shipping anything firearm related in my area. If you contact your local FFL they will probably ship for you. Problem with local UPS and FEDEX is that they are independently owned and if they decide not to ship these items nothing you can do.

I have shipped two boxes of ammo via UPS. While I was waiting in lie, I read a wall notice that ammo was , I think it said, "restricted". So after I go up and actually completed the shipment, I asked the clerk about it. She said it means you can't ship over a certain amount of ammo, like I think she said, 500 rounds.
I have also heard of ammo being shipped USPS, but I ain't gonna do it! I do ship brass only via USPS.

Orm D stickers are no longer used.

New Diamond Labels Required for Ammunition Shipments « Daily Bulletin
We ran this story in December, but we figure you guys needed a reminder, as we are now well and truly in 2014. Here's the deal -- ORM D is dead -- you must NOT use ORM D labels on ammo shipments any more. Effective January 1, 2014, you must use the new DOT Diamond Labels instead.

Not sure why everybody is thumbs up on this comment. one it is prohibited and two if something bad were to happen because of the live ammo, that person will be in serious trouble. As a hazmat inspector and hazmat train the trainer qualified there is a reason why we have restrictions on what can be shipped with or even near other items that are hazmat. There are other services such as UPS and FedEx that can do this and it is relatively pain-free. Why would you want to subject someone to harm or even subject yourself to jail time and fines because you don't wanna drive a little bit further to UPS or FedEx store.
I have shipped ammunition many times but these hubs will take powder or primers? I don't know about that
As of this year ORMD is no good it must be limited quantities stickers now

Better get insurance and signature request. Ammo dissappear in the mail now. Don't ask me how I know.

I had 800 rounds of ammo shipped to me a couple years ago through UPS. I logged on to check tracking and it said, "box damaged, contents disposed of" No kidding! Yeah right, that went home with a UPS employee

Its about $25 to ship 5 boxes rifle ammo with insurance. Get a heavy box. Has to ship ground. The smaller the box the cheaper it is.

Could be very dangerous in so many ways but we handle and create ammo like it's no big deal to us

If a ups truck caught fire and had a pile of ammo it could be quite a popcorn popper I suppose. Thats why they don't ship it on planes. It would need more attention paid. Fedex has a shipping training class you have to do to ship it. No thanks. Just use ups
