I've got some ammo up for sale on GB. Haven't shipped ammo in several years. someone asked for a shipping quote to texas (from VA). I went to the UPS shipping calculator site, put in all the info and the quote was $27.48. Does that sound normal? Seems high but maybe that's what it costs.
I'd be shipping two mostly full boxes of 50, 45 colt ammo. total weight 6lbs. dimensions ~ 4" x 5" x 7"
just making sure I'm not missing anything and that there isn't some secret better way to ship.
thanks

Re: shipping ammo
I'd say add a few bucks to what ups estimates , covers in case it's more.

Re: shipping ammo
UPS ground. It helps to cut down a small box so the ammo boxes just fit inside, and tape it up solid. They measure WxLxH plus weight to come to their shipping cost.

Don't forget to add the square with black triangles thingy. https://www.ups.com/us/en/support/shipp ... ition.page
Re: shipping ammo
ok, thanks.
I just wanted to see if you thought $27 sounded like a 'normal' shipping cost for 2 boxes of ammo. I'm not sure how accurate these shipping calculators are.

Re: shipping ammo
Better add another $5.00. It is required to have the ammunition signed for and that costs another $5.00…
