Shipping primed brass?

[awp101]

Can it go USPS or does it have to go UPS, etc like loaded ammo?

Thanks!

I'd send it common carrier. I've received primed brass/shotgun hulls frlm retailers through the USPost but IMO most local postal cops don't know their own rules well enough to NOT worry about them doing something stupid...

Would the hazmat fee apply?

Personally, I would label is as ORM-D Small Arms Cartridges and ship without hazmat. That's me.

You can shipped primed brass, but not through USPS...only UPS or FedEx (and ignore FedEx...they are too restrictive). No hazmat fee is required. UPS does say you need to have an ORM-D sticker on the box (I printed one off the net and taped it on), though most just recommend boxing it up and sending it with no external markings. I used a sticker the couple of times I did it, and there was no extra charge from UPS.

Thanks guys!

I've been debating pulling down some calibers I no longer shoot to trade the primed brass and bullets for stuff that I do shoot. If it has to go UPS anyway I'm not sure it's worth the effort to break it down. A wink is as good as a nod, know what I mean?
