Paulj. Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 So if I were shipping a few 50 cal. ammo cans full of linked ammo via ups can I ship the cans as is or do they need to be in a cardboard box ?? ORM-D stickers on all 4 sides of course. Thank's Paul. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVA Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Yes in carboard box, if any room dbl layer cardboard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Side Arm Sams Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 No more ORM-D stickers. They now want the DOT Diamond Label for hazardous materials. FedEx should have an example of what you need. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwana Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 If you are not aware UPS has a very good flate rate pricing by box size (up to 50# per box) My local distribution center had difficulty getting it correct (wanting to charge the standard way - size and weight = $$ for ammo). Go online and do your own labels / pay online then just drop it off. Substantial savings. As stated above go online and Google / print out / attach the new DOT diamond shaped labels. I hope that this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Yup the diamond label, not the ORM-D marked stickers. You don't need to put it on all sides of the box unless you really want to.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulj. Posted January 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Thank's for bringing me up to speed on this. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEW Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 As Bwana above stated the flat rate is the way to go. It's called "simple rate" and is based on the box size with a weight limit. great deal as long as you follow the guidelines. https://www.ups.com/us/en/support/shipping-support/shipping-special-care-regulated-items/hazardous-materials-guide/how-to-ship-ammunition.page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
