[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Will UPS ship ammo to the mainland

Posted: 9/25/2016 9:21:52 PM EDT

So I've seen some mixed results whether they will or not. Anyone have a firm answer? I know it has to go ground if they allow it, and I've already ball-parked the price so I know it'll be $$. Just need to know whether they will or not.

or is my only option a freight forwarder?

Thanks

From Hawaii, their policy is intra-Oahu only. Whether or not you could actually get it done is another matter. People ship undeclared ammo (among other things) all the time, which is, of course, outside of their policy. I've also seen less than knowledgable UPS store clerks accept somethings they probably shouldn't have.

Years ago I shipped ammo to a mainland USPSA match via FEDEX. I had to go to their airport location, not one of the small shops. It helped that they knew me since that is where I had to go when I had explosives (det cord, detonators, shaed charges) shipped in. The hazmat fee was very pricey.
