Local score!!!!!!

toad67
Just picked up 23,500 primers locally for $700. Mostly Federal 205/210's, regular and match, with a few CCI's mixed in....Don't need them, and wish I could legally ship them... I could pay for a nice Alberta moose hunt....

    Agree, check auction site you could make your money back by selling only a quarter of what you bought.

    Good score Todd. I had a few thousand from long ago and just donated to my local shooting club which I am a member. I looked into selling but looked like to much trouble for a few thousand.

    A regular guy like me can't legally ship hazmat, by what I've heard. Supposedly you need to go to a class and become certified, and use the appropriate boxes. Ammo is easy compared to primers and powder. Makes no sense to me though...

    I think through the USPS you are correct, but I think you can ship Fed-Ex or UPS with proper declaration and fees.

    Besides, it sounds like give-away time. :)

    Shipping Requirements for Hazardous Materials
    Powder and Primers must be labeled and shipped HAZMAT and require a Hazardous Material Handling Fee.
    This is not an opinion but cold hard fact. All sellers shipping Powder and/or primers must be HAZMAT certified and have the license. A fee is imposed by each individual shipping entity per shipment. 

    Failure to comply can result in large fines and potential imprisonment.

    Best.

    My thoughts exactly, ok I can send LOADED AMMO through UPS but have to have hazmat, license or whatever for "primers?"

    We have shipped hazmat stuff in the past without any licensing on our behalf (though not specifically primers or powder). We asked at the main terminal (not a UPS/FED-EX store) and they inspected and labelled it appropriately. I payed the larger HAZMAT fee and out it went. Everything was declared and I made sure I had all my CYA stuff on there. Seems to me that they take on the HAZMAT licensee role in this case. I don't know. Shipping and interstate law is largely why I have opted out of dealing over distance except incoming... Too much to keep track of in my shrinking memory.

    The terminal took on all responsibility for the Hazmat because they did the inspection and labeling. The difference is twofold; you asked and they performed, complete with the appropriate HAZMAT charges. As I have usually stated someone always has an exception.

    In general though, most folks simply drop off their packages, pay for the shipping, saying nothing to the counter personnel about HAZMAT if there is that application. Based on the millions of packages handled each day by each shipper, it's doubtful that they inspect any sizable number of packages unless there is a clue of some sort. Be that as it may, I'm not one to be willing to test their inspection routine.
    Best.
