UPS Stores are not the same thing as a UPS Hub/Distribution Center

I don’t think you’ve ever been allowed to ship ammunition at a UPS Store, I’ve used my local UPS hub many times and never had an issue.

A lot if it has to do with Federal HAZMAT shipping regulations. One of which mandates specific training for employees who are involved in accepting the shipment. Maybe the UPS store owner doesn't want to deal with that mess.

THIS, the satellite stores won't deal with shipping ammo, or lithium batteries or etc. due to the Hazmat requirements. You have to take it with UPS (and generally FEDEX also) to one of their hubs and fill out a small form they have.

I got an email for FedEx “dangerous goods” hotline, it’s dghotline@fedex.com

Here are my questions and their answers:

Thanks for shipping with FedEx.

So I got real answers (except for the rates ,there seems to be an infinite loop in the website software).

Now I need to go online to schedule a pickup.
