It's a scam charge. Why doesn't Norma USA charge hazmat for primer shipments? Because they are not scamming us.
Cosmetics aren't truly Hazmat materials. They are in the category of "Limited Quantities" (black line diamond on white background). Which used to be called "Other Regulated Material." These are consumer goods of a sensitive nature in consumer quantities, limited by weight to 66 pounds per package. Loaded ammunition in packages less than 66 pounds also qualify as Limited Quantities.When my girlfriend's makeup ships for free with the same ORM-D logo.
UPS charges (me at least) $49 per package for hazmat on top of regular freight and fees. You have all the other details spot on. You know when something shows up and that was sent marked properly.Cosmetics aren't truly Hazmat materials. They are in the category of "Limited Quantities" (black line diamond on white background).

Smokeless powder and primers are in a different category, they are one of the true Hazmat materials. For these, shippers need Hazmat training which costs money. Hazmat shippers must have a scheduled pickup account, UPS hazmat certified drivers must make the pickup, there's paperwork involved that is required by the DOT. I'm not sure what the charge is, I don't think it's a per package charge, rather a single charge for making the bulk pickup.
I ship ammo all over the US without hazmat fees...hmmmmmm
I have to "guess" because the one is talking about this, not shipping ammo. I have been buying ammo by mail and then online since they started letting us mortals do so again and never had to pay HAZ-MAT. They always had the ORM-D sticker. Now when I buy powder or Primers it was a different story.I ship ammo all over the US without hazmat fees...hmmmmmm
Still have to sticker it though and only ship by ground freight no USPS either.I ship ammo all over the US without hazmat fees...hmmmmmm
