I've shipped handloaded ammo to a buddy. You absolutely have to declare what's in the box, and the box must be marked "ORM-D" on multiple sides. Oh, and you goto the UPS depot, not some retail outlet.

I've had lots of non serial numbered/non ffl parts shipped to me via usps, FedEx, and ups.

This guy is completely full of crap.

Though, what he's talking about is more specific than ammo - which they probably already know all the local laws on.

While I see your point, I can still believe that UPS is erring on the side of caution while they try to figure out all the legislation involved in being a courier for this type of thing.

So they’re happy to ship me 80% AR15 lowers, along with the jig used to cut the fire control pockets. Plus all the other parts to build the AR15.

But not a machine that can cut the fire control pockets for me?
