shipping powder

[foxx]

How difficult and/or expensive would it be for me to ship powder to someone?

I have powder for sale (cheap) in the classified section, but do not know how involved it is to ship

I think I sent you a PM about the Varget. Check your messages. Anyway, I believe I've done this before….but it's been several years. I think it has to be shipped ground, UPS (United Parcel Service…you know….the Big Brown Truck) a has-mat fee of something like $23.50, if I recall that right, and you have to mark the package with a proper sign on the side so that the shippers recognize it as a hazardous material.

So, in addition to the standard ground shipping cost, the has-mat fee applies. Go to the UPS has-mat site and you can't really find out anything specific….but they give you a phone number to call. BTW, you can't ship it from a "UPS Store", but you have to go to a UPS Hub. For me that's easy as I live only 20 minutes from a hub.

For you….I dunno how far you live from a hub. Also, I don't know if Fed-Ex ships this…..but I would think yes???

I tried calling UPS Hazmat Support... closed till 6:00 am Monday. Will see what they say and get back with you Monday.

If anyone knows more, plz chime in. thanks

I'm pretty sure that you need hazmat certification to ship powder and primer. It's not something that the average citizen is allowed to ship.

I think you're right, Bharada. I gave up on the whole idea.
