Hmm.... USPS box sizes...

12" * 12" * 5.5" = 30.48 cm * 30.48 * 13.97 = 930 cc

930cc * 11.34 g/cc = 147,176 g == 324 lbs...

That seems too heavy to me but .......

In any case, it's cheaper than FedEx!


They have a limit of 70 lb per box. That'd be about 2200 .45
bullets, a bit less than 3000 .40S&W bullets, or a bit more than
4200 9mm bullets. I usually order 1000 at a time so my parcels
aren't all that heavy.
