Will the USPS let anyone pay a hazmat fee and send primers ?
To help you out, they said same thing to me which is not true. Print the regulations off their page and go ship it. Here's link you need to print.UPS said the only way to do it as an individual was to find a 3rd party hazmat certified shipper who would ship for you. Sucks
this works I had a local gun shop ship powder for me he charged an extra 50 bucks to do it but it was a large amount so the buyer did not mind paying itUPS said the only way to do it as an individual was to find a 3rd party hazmat certified shipper who would ship for you. Sucks

I am not an authority on this and wish this was true, but....49 CFR 173.59 defines a whole list of items including cartridges, small arms, and powder and primers and many other explosive devices.To help you out, they said same thing to me which is not true.

I stand corrected and educated sir but I would think it would include primers and powder since that is what is in the cartridges. But like you said, narrow way for them to look at it.I am not an authority on this and wish this was true, but....49 CFR 173.59 defines a whole list of items including cartridges, small arms, and powder and primers and many other explosive devices.
As you pointed out, UPS accepts cartridges, small arms (which are uniquely and separately defined) but that does not include powder and or primers (which are defined separately). You are taking the UPS policy which is very narrow and only includes cartridges, small arms and saying that it includes primers. It does not.
If you can find a portion of the UPS shipping policy that includes primers as defined by 49 CFR 173.59, I will gladly admit my mistake.
