I went into the ups store and asked them about shipping primers. Girl said yup, we ship them all the time. I said its not primed brass or ammunition, just primers in their factory packaging. She said i know what they are, i shoot all the time. My husband and i reload. Im telling you we can ship primers. So now i dont know what to do.

I dont want this to back fire on me if she is wrong. But i have a shitload of primers that i dont need and want to sell. Sounds like UPS girl might do that for you, which would be great. However, I thought that UPS stores weren't allowed to take dangerous goods.

Unless you have a commercial account, I can't see how UPS or FedEx would allow regular citizens to just start shipping "explosives" using that term loosely. I probably wouldn't try to do it without dislosing it either as they could end up banning you or pressing charges.

Michael Armstrong Sharpshooter. Will have to pay hazmat fee. Dumpstick Sharpshooter. The ammo shouldn't be a problem. A few hoops to jump through, but it can be done. The powder and primers will be a problem. I don't think John Q can ship those. I think one needs to be certified by some agency it another. Good luck. Mad Professor Sharpshooter.

What a pain. Without those added, it's not worth sending the shells either so that went from an awesome care package to diddly squat in a hurry. I'll come get your surplus reloading componenets. Post Reply. Insert Quotes…. Similar threads F. Replies 3 Views The purpose of documenting a hazardous materials shipment is to provide the carrier with vital handling and emergency response information to use as the package is transported.

UPS requires the use of a unique multipart shipping paper to easily transport your package through the many exchange points of its network. The shipper's certification statement is a legally binding declaration stating the package has been prepared in compliance with all aspects of the HMR.

The UPS shipping paper includes the certification statement and must be signed by the shipper. In this case, the Passenger Aircraft section should be marked out. Separate from the shipping paper, the UPS Shipper's Certification for Hazardous Materials is a manifest for all the hazardous materials picked up from a single address by a UPS vehicle. Back to Top. In addition, Hazardous Materials are only accepted in the UPS system from those customers who have a daily pickup account and have signed an "Agreement for Transportation of Hazardous Materials" or have those provisions incorporated into their existing customized contract for shipping service with UPS.

With a little referesher, I could probably put together a good set of shipping papers and make sure that the packaging was right. I've been the "designated felon" for shipping stuff like this on occasion. However, you're not quite right about having to join Chemtrek or some other hour service. You can do it yourself, as long as you can ensure that you have somebody that can serve as a technical expert if there is an accident with your shipment and it gets called in.

Quoted: rn You're exactly right with the HM stuff. Face to face in your local area is THE way to go. Cheap, fast, no risk as long as you do a FTF correctly. I wish this were legally possible Better get ready to meet bubba! You are breaking the law! Well, maybe a little further west than you're willing to drive! They are not doing right Plus I doubt you have a 24 hr resource center? Doubt UPS paying for that! The way to "get around" the hazmat requirements is to prime once fired cases and sell it on one of the auction sites.

Primed brass is not considered hazardous material. ETA: Just make sure you send them via ground.
