Do any of you guys know if the wood crates that the 1950's Yugo ammo came in can be shipped UPS without packaging the crates in cardboard? I may be looking to sell some of my ammo if it doesn't become a pain in the butt to ship it. Thanks in advance!

I believe that you can ship it in the crates but IIRC UPS charges an additional "wooden crate" charge.
If your going to sell some shoot me an e-mail and "Lets make a deal!"

All the Russian 54R that I bought from Sportsman's Guide came shipped via UPS in the wooden crate. I don't know if their were additional charges for that. I don't believe there were; I didn't see any additional charges.

I'm also interested. Let me know where you're located and what you're asking and we'll see what we can work out. I'm in SE Michigan.

last time i shipped some romy 8mm in the wood case they charged me extra, was like 8 bucks or something stupid like that - and it said on the bill the charge was because it was not in cardboard. And the same applies to the metal tins inside the case, if not in another box they will nail ya for a fee. hope that helps.

Im in phoenix, AZ and always looking for some yugo 8mm (especially to cover what i just blasted today for Easter )

Post your price, quantity, and location you might be able to sell it without shipping it.

I got my cmp 30-06 and it was just in the wood crates with the labels stapled on.

cmp doesn't use ups. They use Fedex, and I think they work out a deal with them since they ship so much of it.

The reason UPS charges more is because it can't go on the belts and has to be hand carried/carted around the building if it's not covered in cardboard - so I was told.

 

[MuzzleMonk]

Yeah, I was told the same thing by a UPS regional sales guy who came by our office. Stuff not in a cardboard box isn't put on their conveyor sorting system so it hand carried, slower, more prone to loss, and could be upcharged.

Damn, it was me.

This new format with the "similar thread" links that show up at the bottom of the page some times got me.
