Hi All
Well this week has left me a bit on edge.
I had some excess ammo and I figured I could sell it to pay some bills.
No Prob.
All of the people I sold it to are very nice and a pleasure to do business with.
The problem is the shippers.
I ship through Fedex. and since I have had issues before when shipping guns I figured I better get all of my ducks in a row with this.
So I called Fedex. Nice lady tells me I can ship ammo ground. Cool
Fedex website says it has to have an ORM-D sticker but no Hazmat fees. Cool I will just get stickers at Fedex.
So my wife and I load up 4 boxes of 640 rounds each and head to Fedex.
Once there I find they dont carry the ORM-D labels there. (lady is very nice and helpful but she didnt have stickers)
So we call the Fedex hotline. I ask lady if I can just draw the orm-d label on the box and she says yes but since it is going ground I can not drop it off at the Fedex station.
Drive all the way back home. Did I mention gas is $3.11 for the cheap stuff up here.
Get on fedex website, make an online account and set up pick up which may cost me an extra 4 bucks per parcel.
Oh well at least I learned something today about shipping stuff over the computer.:banghead:
:banghead: 
See ya All and thanks for letting me rant.
