Firearms shipment - avoid UPS

rhuff · 12-06-2013, 03:25 PM

The hazmat fee on powder and primers has been around for a long time with UPS and Fedex. You can't ship either via USPS. This extra fee(usually $25-$27.00 above shipping charges) will cover up to 48 lbs. of powder and/or primers. If above 48 lbs., you pay another hazmat fee.

Because of this fee, many/most of us that order our reloading components from places like Powder Valley, we usually place a large order, and the savings, and no sales tax(yet) covers the hazmat fee.
