Quoted:
I just went to the USPS because I knew it was going to be the cheapest way to ship 500 rounds of 9mm fmj. They are loose rounds. However I put them all in a box.....shook it well so they would settle into place.....shook it again......then packed it supper tight with about 10 feet of bubble wrap so when you shake it you barely here anything move. then i taped every seem of the thing and went to the USPS store.....set it on the scale......said no it was not ammo......printed my sticker off.......and dropped it in the chute. Now im worried...........should I be? Why would you lie about that?

| AFAIK, it is ILLEGAL to ship any explosive or flammable material via the USPO. I've checked this with three separate post offices, and always had the same reply. Ammunition MUST travel by courier, and must be clearly labeled as such to avoid potential hazards (I'm sure you've seen the ORM-D label on ammo. cases before?) If you ship hazardous materials by post, and it is discovered, you're facing Federal charges: and if the hazardous material causes damage or injury to anyone, you're going to face additional charges for that. |
