I have never shipped ammo but in the last few weeks I have had a friend sell some ammo for me on gunbroker.

He has had a fit trying to ship it out from the UPS main hub in Bristol Virginia.  

They told him he had to have a contract with them to ship the ammo, advised him they would ship it one time but never a gain.

Please explain to me exactly how you go about shipping ammo.

It came to me via UPS and was never taken out of the case it was shipped in.

I've shipped ammo several times recently via UPS from a UPS Service Center (aka hub), and I don't have an account.

Any UPS hub will ship ammo from anyone, as long as it's packaged properly. Problem is, most UPS hub employees don't know their own rules very well, so you end up having to do this little song-and-dance to get them to ship your ammo sometimes.

Easiest way:

1. Open a UPS account online.  Time: 5 minutes and a credit card
2. "Prepare a shipment." Time: 5 minutes
3.  "Schedule a pickup."  Time: 1 minute
4.  Print out this label, cut it out, and stick it on box:

5.  Put box on doorstep for UPS driver.  Get on with life.

I do this all the time.  Works flawlessly, and you can substitute "FedEx" for anywhere it says "UPS."
