I read this title in the voice of the professor from Futurama. My life has never been the same since that damn cartoon.

Hi folks. Before you guys do this, you should find out what the actual shipping charges would be. The actual shipping charges will increase as the amount of ammo ordered increases. If their only option for shipping ammo to Hawaii is 2nd day air, the shipping charges are going to add up quickly. Also, the hazmat fee may cover a single order, but there may be limits on how much ammo can be included in one shipment. I can see if you wanted some kind of specialty ammo that's not readily available here, but for bulk ball ammo, I don't think you'll come out ahead.

A better way may be to approach a dealer to do a group buy for 2ahawaii members-maybe a dealer who's on this forum...just a thought.

I rememember hearing about clubs in Oahu that do a snailmail group buy for ammo in Oahu once or twice a year. I don't see it advertised anywhere which leads me to believe it's completely a private affair.

This guy is right. The more ammo you order, the higher the shipping and Hazmat fee become.

BTW sorry if I sounded so negative in my previous post. I think that a group buy is a great idea. Just that for this to make economic sense, you guys should explore other shipping options like seeing if they are willing or able to ship via UPS freight. Or taking advantage of their free mainland shipping and having them send it to a freight forwarder on the west coast. Anyways, good luck.

If anyone is really interested in doing this type of thing, I'd suggest you call up West Coast Shooting Supply and see if they can do it. They are in Cali and could handle the freighting last time I checked.

About a year ago, I was looking into freighting some ammo over here but the kinds of quantities needed made it unfeasable. If you want to deal with getting it shipped to a freighter on the west coast, I found a company that will do that as well. Not many of the frieghters I contacted would handle ORM-D items.
