looking to buy some 20ga once fired hulls

Have a brand preference? What do expect to pay? How many do you need?

not Remington, 7.00 a 100, 300

I can probably come up with some Winchester "USA" once fired. You wanted 300 if I read correctly. Give me a zip and I'll get a freight rate from the post office.

Curious what shipper you guys use for hulls. I tried to ship a couple hundred 28ga to a guy on SGW for the cost of shipping only, and USPS refused to ship them after asking me what they were - I said "empty shotgun shells". They said "so, ammunition?". I said " no, they are fired, empty shotgun shells" - they said " shotgun shells - so it's ammo - nope, we can't ship ammo". We went back and forth and they finally said nope, we're not shipping it.

Went down to FedEx and shipped it there, they didn't ask - was going to tell them I had plastic tubing, if they asked.

It ended up being almost $20, way more than I thought.

There's no definition on the planet that could classify an empty once-fired hull as ammunition.

However, since we all know you can't fix stupid, I avoid the exact situation you just experienced by always telling the carrier that I am shipping plastic tubes.

They never ask anything beyond that after hearing my answer and they always ship.

The USPS Regional Rate Boxes always ship cheaper than a similar sized box with UPS or FedEx.

Here's what I have, let me know where you want them shipped and I'll get a rate.

Found some. Thank's for the replies.

Sorry for being dumb here, but - do I need to use their box, or can/should I use my own box, then ask for this "Regional Rate" when I go into the store? Is it a fixed rate based on the box size, or based on the weight?

I've got a couple hundred once-fired Win AA 28 ga hulls and boxes I'd like to ship to someone on SGW who can use them, but don't want to screw up the process and make it cost more for the recipient.

Thanks

The Regional Rate Boxes are available at your local Post Office branch office. They are not something you create yourself. I usually grab a half dozen so I have them on hand when needed.

Great, thank you! I'm pick some up so I can ship my "plastic tubing".
