Another stupid UPS question

They ship fireworks and ammo - I don't see how gunpowder is worse.

Mark it with the appropriate HAZMAT markers and ship it.

I think some UPS locations accept ammo, etc. and others do not. That may explain the apparent discrepancy. Check for a location that handles the "hazardous" stuff.

That goes for FedEx too. Go online and search for a location that accepts Hazardous Materials. It's probably going to be a main regional hub. It most likely has to go ground anyway too...
