RacerX1166 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 What's the consensus on the most economical way to ship bullets, these days? When I did it, the USPS had just amended their 'if it fits, it ships' to include a weight limit, so looking for suggestions. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 You have to really Over Pack them, though. I shipped some bullets out, and got into trouble with the packaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shipped some bullets out, and got into trouble with the packaging. Yep. I bag them and wrap several layers of tape around it. Put in box, label it and then double tape every inch of the box with heavy duty shipping tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExStreetWalker Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) If the mass of bullets have free movement in the box you're going to have problems. They need to be packed in there so they can't shift around. The weight limit is 70 lbs. Edited April 15, 2019 by ExStreetWalker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best packaging jobs I've seen yet is from Brazos. Bullets are vacuum sealed in a heavy duty bag and a layer of 1/2" thick foam material placed between each of the bags. No movement and the fully loaded box (50-60 pounts) arrived fully intact. Outside of box was taped also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78Staff Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 My mailman hates it when i order bullets, b/c I usually order 5-10K at a time. About as much as I hate hauling them from the front door to the loading room I suspect lol. USPS Flat Rate is the way to go, unless you happen to have some sort of shipper/freight account access.
