shipping ammo

[Lancem]

Didn't know where to put this so I figured I'd go fishing here... Anybody know the rules on shipping ammo? I'm thinking probably only UPS and has to be marked class C explosives? Can anybody link me to some facts?

Thanks!

You should be able to ship through UPS and fed ex though. I know USPS wont allow it

Ammo shipped in UPS' system, in it's orginal manufacturer packaging is marked ORM-D. Other Regulated Materials.
