Just returned from Las Vegas.  Got there on  a Road Trip from Seattle in 3nights and 4 days.

Friend was changing job locations so I went for the ride. 

Drove down on I-5 not 101 so we missed all the crab and bigfoot stuff. The Wife wanted some Bigfoot dolls or whatevers.

Nothing to be found on I-5.  No bedbugs in the overnight stops either.

Did find lots of Ammo at Wal-Mart and sent home 750 rounds in 100 round boxes.

Went to Bass Pro and bought More Ammo.  Hopefully here by this Saturday.

At Vegas, ended up getting the Wife a bling Bersa 380 and me a not listed Beretta 92 Compact.  Both should be here

by the end of the week, I hope.  Wife also is getting a New Netbook PC (under $200 at Target) and several items of jewelry.

Got the guy at Zale's to go down from $365 to $261.  Hand carried that back and gave it to the Wife.  She liked it.  Gotta keep Her Happy. 

Found out the MegaBucks is no longer a Buck a spin.  Turned into a Penny slot.  Took my money anyway.

Window mounted GPS are OK, but still need a common sense in case of Ooops.

Got upgrade to First Class on last leg back to Honolulu.  Sweet. 

Sounds like a great trip.

How did you ship the ammo back?

Ammo came home via USPS Priority Mail.  "If it fits and is under 70 pounds,it ships"

To be nice to the Wife, I split it up into 2 medium sized boxes with other stuff I got for us.   So it cost me $5 more.

Had I put all the ammo in one box it would be still sitting on the curb.  Wife isn't into heavy lifting, even if
the box is under 70 pounds.

First boxes got home in the first week I was there.

I suppose some more are here as I got notice to pick up stuff at the PO.

I expect the rest to be here by the end of the month. Parcel Post, Not Priority Mail.

What?! I thought you couldn't ship ammo via airmail.
Now I gotta go vegas too.

As far as I know, it's not legal to ship ammo via priority mail.

Well, I thought I knew it was illegal but after reading up more on it, I may be wrong.

Very nice purchases.  I love that about when you go to vegas.  Buying all kinds of stuff at cheap prices.  Then you mail it home cause its cheaper.  Then you get home and about 2 or 3 weeks later the boxes come and you open them and its like christmas again.  Stuff you went buy and send to yourself, but what a wonderful feeling.

As far as shipping ammo goes, if its all legit, im doing that next time we go up!!

According to the link you provided, ammunition is not legal to mail. (USPS)

Thanks for the clarification.

there was a service that someone mentioned on the job the other day that will load up pretty much anything you can fit on a wood pallate for $200, and as far as I know the restriction on ammo is only for air shipping. They use it for everything from engines to sand bags, and even some weird oversize stuff like drive shafts. I gotta ask about it again. thanks for the reminder!

Let us know.

I'm sure a bulk buy on ammo would work for some of us here.   

+1 on bulk ammo

The service my buddy mentioned is

http://www.shiptohawaii.com/


unfortunately there are restrictions on what can be shipped

    Perishable goods
    Goods requiring protection from heat or cold
    Goods worth more than the maximum allowed declared value ($5000)
    Artwork
    Antiques or museum articles
    Fragile items such as glassware or ostrich eggs
    Jewelry, furs, precious metals
    Stocks, bonds, cash, cash equivalents
    Coins
    Stamps
    Hazardous or dangerous materials (including anything flammable, corrosive, explosive, infectious, or radioactive)
    Firearms or fireworks
    Tobacco
    Liquids in quantities greater than 1 gallon or that are not packaged properly to prevent leakage
    Live animals or plants
    Cars
    Boats
    Motorcycles
    Golf Carts
    Tractors
    Surfboards

Who knows though maybe if someone were to talk to them they might make an exception.

^^^Ostrich eggs?  How about regular chicken eggs?

That list is pretty much everything I wanted to ship

Yeah, Ship To Hawaii is garbage as far as a gun lover is concerned. 

What we need is a freight forwarder.  The same way that gun stores operate.

I know the trap club periodically does bulk buys direct from Remington.  I participated once... got a god price on the ammo.  But, since I didn't score any better with fancy Remington than with Winchester Super-X, it was a 1-time thing for me.
