in need of ffl for ammo xfer

[rtodd1586]

So I have been trying to get ammo shipped to me for a few weeks and ups is giving me a hard time saying it needs to get shipped to an FFL. Any takers?

 

[K31]

WTF?

 

[Qbeam]

Is there a firearm with it?

 

[JWGuns]

That doesn't make any sense.....

 

[lx1x]

bs... unless you are underage and the sender ask for id for verification.

 

[rtodd1586]

Thats what I said ....I am trying to get ammo shipped to me and UPS and FedEx are saying they will not ship friend to friend that it needs to be shipped to an FFL......i have talked to their main office and they said it shouldnt be a problem to ship and they cant understand why the hub in columbia, SC wont do it...

No firearm involed....i quoted their website and the person shipping had a print out of their site saying they ship ammo.

How much ammo did you order???


Seriously though, something doesn't make sense.

Dayum. It must be the high capacity ammo that I keep hearing about!

You should not need an FFL for ammo shipment.

Is your friend shipping it with the Hazmat fee? He should be able to do it provided it goes ground shipping and hazmat is taken care of. Someone will chime in shortly.

You might need to look into the laws, and send them on to some of their supervisors. Mentioning that you are getting a bit impatient, and unless they can come up with a law stating that the ammo needs to be shipped to a FFL they will be hearing from your lawyer might help. That is if your story is as told (does not make sense as I have received 2000 round of ammo from them in the last month).

I bought it from a family member , he had his military id with him and everything else needed to ship ammo...it is only 520rds. All in the original box

 

[shaddydan]

USPS will ship it

 

[rtodd1586]

Im going to email the corperate office and make sure I have it forwarded, hopefully that will help

 

[zombiehunter]

Also you DO NOT NEED a hazmat to ship ammo, only explosive components. Otherwise keep us posted on this, I'd love to see what happens/happened.

Is he using a genuine UPS facility to send the ammo, or a franchised store front. Another poster had the same problem, and it was solved when he shipped the ammo from UPS hub. Those guys knew the law and policy, mom and pop's may not.

So, You are behind the ammo shortage...HMMM !
Shoot me a PM and I'll have some of my guys (JR Trucking) go pick it up for a small cut!

It must be shipped from a HUB/Sort Facility. Ammo cannot be shipped from a UPS Store.

You just need to pay the hazmat fee.

You just need to pay the hazmat fee.

There is no Hazmat Fee for shipping loaded ammunition.
