All orders containing gunpowder, primers, or percussion caps will charged a $20.00 hazardous materials charge per shipping box with these items. If shipped by air, then primers, percussion caps, and loaded ammunition will be charged $30.00 per box. Gunpowder cannot be shipped by air. Powder and primers can be packed together on ground shipments for one hazardous charge provided the total weight of the order (including packaging) remains below 70 lbs.

Ammunition shipped to Tennessee addresses or picked up at our location will include a 10% TWRA tax per box.

Licenses and regulations

Export licenses for international orders are required in order to send firearms or ammunition components. To obtain an export license we need the following items: An order for the goods desired, and an import permit for these items or a letter from the government of the destination country stating no license is required. You may be required by the U.S. Department of State to obtain the license for additional items. We suggest large orders which can be broken into smaller shipments since a license is good for 48 months or until all goods have been shipped, whichever comes first.

Back To Top

Proof of age

You must be 21 years of age to purchase reloading components (powder and primers) and ammuntion from us. Fax, e-mail, or snail-mail a copy of your drivers license to us for this purpose. If you are already a customer, please include your customer number. We will place this copy on file for future orders. Email a copy of your identification to id@midsouthshooterssupply.com.

What is that extra charge or credit on my card?

At the time your order is placed we retrieve only enough money from your credit card to initially cover the merchandise and the "estimated shipping cost" which is computer generated. Only when the items are pulled from the shelf, put in a box with packing protection and wrapped, the actual shipping weight is known. At that time the order is invoiced, and depending whether the estimate was high or low, we either issue a credit or seek the additional funds. Please note that the estimated shipping cost might become inaccurate if the order contains big items that need to be shipped in multiple boxes. If in doubt, please give us a call and our friendly phone staff will be happy to assist you with any questions.

Why don't you just charge a flat shipping fee?

Companies that use flat rate shipping are making lots of additional money at your expense. They can profit from portions of the shipping fees which aren't necessary, but are charged anyway to give you that "flat rate." We only charge exactly what it costs to get the package from us to you.
