Having ammo shipped to FFL?

[Rangerscott]

Just wondering if a company would ship an ammo order to an FFL instead of your home address. I want to order a case but dont want it sitting outside the house all day.

I have my stuff shipped to work. I'd bet the company would ship to whoever you want them to ship to, but I'd say you'd need a decent relations ship with whoever that is. Check to see if you FFL is cool with it first.

Your ffl would most likely (and reasonably) charge you for holding the ammo.

No retiree/housewife around that'd be tickled to make $20 to have it shipped to them?

I thought when ammo was shipped you need to sign for it?

I found a nice gunshop with a cool owner. If your ever in town stop at West Texas Military Surplus at 2319 34th st. The owner is Randy and he's super nice. He only charges $20 for transfer fees. I dont think he'll mind. When I ordered my Tokarev, they sent the ammo to him. Im not worried about Randy. Im sure if wouldnt mind if I gave him a call. I was just wondering on the ammo company.

Let me ask this question than. I was wanting to order a case of 7.62x39 (the 1120 or 1260 case). Will it be delivered in a cardboard box? If so then I wont mind it being delivered to my place.

Nope.

I've never had a problem here but the UPS guys usually don't run till later in the day so it never sits outside on my porch for longer than a few hours. You could have the place you are ordering from give special instructions to UPS to drop it in the backyard or back porch. Seems like excess work and effort unless you normally have folks lift your packages from your front porch.

I've also never had to sign for ammo and you can usually get package insurance for like an extra few bucks so if something were to happen they'd cover it.

Have them send it signature only or send it to the UPS or FedEx hub instead of your address. The former will cost you a few bucks more and the latter will let you pick it up whenever you want direct from the carrier

 

[Rangerscott]

Their hub is too far out of the way and I hate signatures since Im usually never home when they show up. AIM contacted me back and said they ship to FFL.

AIM ships to individuals because I've ordered ammo from them many times before and I no longer have an FFL. Just last month I bought 20 cases of 7.62 x 39 ammo and they shipped it right to my house.

I know they ship residential. That was never the question.
