Just got an email from midway USA. They will start shipping ammo to hawaii via UPS next day and 2nd day air.

Wonder if it will  be worth it though. It said there will be an hazmat fee passed along by UPS.

I got one too.  Just to test, I put a 10-round box of 12 ga. shotgun shells in my cart and went to check out.  The product was $26.99, shipping was $23.50, remote location surcharge was $20, shipping protection was $1.95, and hazmat charge was $45.  A total of $122.72 (with tax) for a $26.99 product.  They need you to upload a photo ID.  So yeah, it's super expensive, but I suppose it's an option if you're in a pinch.  I don't know how much the hazmat charge varies with weight, so maybe buying larger quantities might be more worth it.

And no, I didn't complete the order.  BTW, I didn't realize Midway's base ammo prices were so high.  Our local shops are much cheaper if they have what you want.

Was hoping this would apply to primers. However, I added some to my cart and tried to checkout but was told they do not ship these items to Hawaii. Oh well.

Primer's will never be allowed onto planes.  Ammo is relatively stable.  Primers go boom.

might only be worthwhile for ammo that's not stocked locally, low priced, and you buy in bulk.
