1. Any items such as gun powder or primers will require a hazmat fee of $48.00 + Shipping costs. The hazmat fee is a federal requirement for any items that are considered explosive. We make no money off this fee as it is paid directly to either UPS or FEDEX. If you have paid lower hazmat fees from another seller it is because they get a discounted rate based on their volume. We are not marking up the rate, just merely passing it on. We will combine as many, if not all, of your hazmat items into one package so as to save you hazmat fees if possible.
2. Any non-hazmat fee will be shipped via the cheapest rate possible i.e. USPS, FedEx or UPS. Ammo must be shipped through UPS or FedEx!
