Primer shipping question

[x10]

OK guys yell at me for not doing my on investigation but I've been covered up this week

I have some primers for sale and a guy wants me to ship them.

As a non business private person what is the proper way for me to ship primers to another Indiana resident

When I order primers/powder, etc. they always send it UPS. I think you have to pay a haz-mat fee as well.

+1 Hazmat

An additional ~$23.50 or something like that.

I HATE ordering primers...the shipping fees kill you. lately its been hard to fine large pistol primers so I didn't have a choice.....

We usually try to go in on a group buy so you can split the haz-mat fee. Then it doesn't hurt your pocket so much and you can usually get pretty good deals at online retailers.

Years ago, did not have the hazmat fee...times change, not alwasys better

Keep checking

There is a hazmat fee for shipping primers but there may also be some sort of licensing requirement. I saw this tossed around on another forum and I recall there was talk that the shipper has to be registered/licensed/ something. There was definitely talk about large fines for violations. Use caution!

DRob is right. Call UPS first and ask them. I seriously doubt private citizens can ship these-------but then I could be wrong. Never hurts to ask.

There are UPS guidelines for HazMat shipping on their website, but it doesn't look good.
