Shipping primers

Reading through the sticky about shipping ammo and I'm a little confused. If I'm reading it correctly, I can ship primers as ORM-D with no further hazmat requirements or labeling? Basically follow the same procedure as shipping loaded ammunition? I have 5000 primers I would like to list for auction but don't want to have create a problem shipping.
Thanks in advance.

    I have never shipped primers. But believe they are considered, hazardous material like smokeless powder. Because of this, special handling is required by the common carrier. They add a Hasmat fee, over and above their normal exorbitant shipping charges.

    Besides being * around by them, because the primers are considered Hasmat. Somebody is going to have to pay, the additional Hasmat fee. Either you or the buyer.

    Primers can mass detonate t hey are hazmat
    Ammo will not mass detonate. Better reread the regs

    Loaded ammunition is not subject to HAZMAT charges, but a $33 HAZMAT charge is imposed for shipments of primers and/or powder from FedEx and about the same from UPS.
