I have a small quantity of live centerfire rifle shells that someone out of state expressed interest in buying. I checked the UPS web site to determine the shipping cost. When filling out the information-- destination, size and weight of package, what was being shipped, etc.-- I wrote, "1 Box Rifle bullets." A note popped up stating that this item was prohibited. I deleted that entry and instead wrote "Ammunition", and I was able to complete the form to show the shipping cost. I apparently could have then printed the shipping label.

I don't intend to proceed with the potential sale, but I am curious why my attempting to ship a package containing "ammunition" didn't raise a
flag.

You found a UPS Store employee who does not know their policy. The ones who denied shipment of ammo are not making up their own rules. "tut" spelled out how to properly ship with UPS but it's laid out clearly on the UPS website if you wish to read it direct from the source.

I have an account, do the paper work at the house and take it to the UPS hub. You also need to put the 4" black and white hazardous material triangle on the outside of the box.
