Regulatory
Shipping
How physical ammunition is shipped after redemption.
Carrier
All ammunition shipments go via UPS Ground. This is not a preference — it's a requirement:
- USPS prohibits shipping ammunition through the mail
- FedEx has restricted ammunition shipments
- UPS Ground is the standard carrier for commercial ammunition shipments
Air freight is not used for ammunition shipments.
Coverage
- 48 contiguous U.S. states — all states except Alaska and Hawaii
- No international shipping — U.S. domestic only
- No P.O. boxes — UPS Ground requires a physical street address
Packaging Requirements
All shipments follow DOT (Department of Transportation) regulations:
- Corrugated cardboard boxes — sturdy outer packaging
- Limited Quantity labeling — diamond-shaped marking per DOT 49 CFR
- No air eligibility — packages are marked ground-only
- Weight limits per package per carrier requirements
Delivery Timeframes
UPS Ground delivery depends on distance from the warehouse:
| Distance | Estimated Delivery |
|---|---|
| Same region | 2–3 business days |
| Cross-region | 3–5 business days |
| Coast to coast | 5–7 business days |
These are estimates. Actual delivery times may vary based on UPS operations.
Age Verification at Delivery
Federal law requires age verification for ammunition purchases. Our delivery partner verifies age upon delivery:
- 21+ for handgun ammunition (9mm)
- 18+ for rifle/shotgun ammunition (5.56 NATO)
The recipient must be present and meet the age requirement to accept the package.
Tracking
Once your order ships, tracking information appears in your Portfolio. You'll see the UPS tracking number and can follow your shipment's progress.
