Hey Eddie, good to see you post! nononsense poster up the shipping requirements for ammo. We have a place in town called United Package Express, and they are an authorized UPS, and FedEx shipping hub. That's where I ship ammo from. It doesn't really cost much more than for me to label and ship it, and they are up on all the current requirements. I thought they were some chain store, but looking on the computer, it looks like they are a one-off outfit. Maybe you have something similar near where you live. If not you'll have to take it to a UPS or FedEx hub. Take care, and have a great 2021!
Save yourself some money on the consumer commodity stickers, and use a sharpie to draw it on...
Thank you so much, I didn't know. This is a big help.
Thanks for your help, we are doing fine here. Not paying much attention to the quarantine. Drove 130 miles to spend Christmas with three generations of family. Who knows it may be our last get together for awhile. Logging is still going strong here because of the huge fires we had. Some areas are clear cut for miles. Stay safe and be careful on those haul roads! Eddie
I didn't know that, thank you. Daughter will be happy to get some ammo. She is retired Air Force with 25 years active. Absolutely no ammo in the Colorado Springs area, not even the B.X.
I was thinking that Jan 1 the ORM-D label was being dropped, and a different label requirement was needed,
I posted the transition notice on AtE a few days ago:

Where can I get the ORM-D labels? Is there a pdf or such that's printable?
The ORM-D labels are only good thru the end of this year. The black and white triangle, which is the consumer commodity symbol is what you need to use after 1/1/2021. Look at the thread below. I just draw it on the box with a sharpie.

Ok where can I/we get these labels?
I have some ammo I'd like to sell but want to be prepared to ship ASAP before hand.
All these restrictions are a real PITA.

500 labels for $31+ shipping? Don't need nearly that many and certainly don't have that much ammo to sell. lol
That's why I just draw the symbol with a sharpie, never had a problem....
Made you a quick jpeg, should be able to print and cut out.
Thanks, it's people like you that are an asset to this forum.
I have been told that myself,,, sort a. Don
Happy to help.
