How does one ship powder/primer to Alaska? (help needed) I'm trying to find out how one can ship powder and primer from lower 48 to Anchorage, AK. What are my options? Thanks.

Re: How does one ship powder/primer to Alaska? (help needed) I THINK you can just ship it. Declare what it is. Pay the ORMD (Hazmat fee) and call it a day. A phone call to UPS will probably give you the answer you seek. A buddy of mine just shipped 200 rounds of .357 sig to his brother in Ga. He lives in Wy. He paid shipping plus like $9 for ORMD fee. No other issues other than declaring what it was. That's what he told me.

Well....it will not be cheap. Shipping powders & primers will NOT fall under ORM-D classification (which includes stuff like hair spray & small arms ammo). Primers are a separate HazMat classification unto themselves, and I believe that smokeless powder is shipped as a Flammable Solid. We're talking REAL HazMat stuff here. If you do not label/package/ship it properly, you will be legally & financially screwed. It must go by a HazMat carrier (such as FedEx or UPS), not the US Postal Service. Shipping HazMats legally is NOT a job for amateurs (such as myself, although I took IATA training years ago). Even the type of cardboard box you use makes a difference (in terms of whether the shipment is legit or illegal). You may need to go through a special freight handler/shipper, in order to avoid any legal hassles. I personally would not ship these types of materials in the lower 48 by ground, not to mention shipping them to Alaska by ground or air. Too many nit-picky details. :36_1_30:

Re: How does one ship powder/primer to Alaska? (help needed) contact a fisherman who is heading north from oregon or washington this spring.
