beltjones Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but this doesn't seem like a reloading topic, per se. If I order ammunition online will it come in a box that says anything like "Ammunition Inside" or anything like that? I live in an apartment and most likely the girl at the office will sign for it, and I'm nervous about her freaking out. I also just don't like the idea of anyone knowing I have guns in my apartment (lest that gives them a reason to break in when I'm not at home). Thanks guys.

ninemmbill Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Depends on the shipping companies policies. The ammo i have received via UPS has had a sticker that said "small arms munition" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansy Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 At least Atlanta Ammo does...perhaps letting her know would be best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLM Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 It has to be tagged per UPS. I've ordered cases of ammo and the company just slaped a UPS label right on the box and the required ORM-D small arms ammo label and off it goes. I don't think there's any way for it not to be marked ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUTO Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I do this everyday - most of us dont put "steal me" or "evil munitions" stickers on it. All thats required is ORM-D which could mean its hairspray or the like. Most folks have their return addresses sanitized as well - ours just says TDS and the address. If your concerned send the company a note asking them to sanitize the delivery. They'll understand....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffWard Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I guess my "Insured by Smith and Wesson" sign gives me away... Also, my mail man HATES me... since 3000 147gr 9mm bullets will fit in one flat-rate box... HEAVY! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Have it shipped to the local UPS counter, then go pick it up yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beltjones Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 Have it shipped to the local UPS counter, then go pick it up yourself. Now why didn't I think of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakshow10mm Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 All thats required is ORM-D which could mean its hairspray or the like. Not completely accurate. The DOT regs state the proper nomenclature is "ORM-D Small Arms Ammunition" or ORM-D Cartridges, Small Arms". No other designation is compliant with DOT regs, which are specific to package labels. Hairspray is to be shipped as "ORM-D Consumer Commodity". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
