For anyone reading this, beware that there is some misinformation in a couple of these posts above:
You MUST ship ammo either UPS Ground or FEDEX Ground, and only from a hub. You can't take it to the UPS store or drop it in a UPS Drop Box. Now, maybe some stores violate their own policy. The policy may be BS, but it IS their policy.
Local FEDEX locations aren't supposed to ship long guns either, but I have shipped a rifle to a mfr for warranty repair once from a local FEDEX, and they took it. Shipping handguns for unlicensed folks is prohibitively expensive, because only FEDEX or UPS can do it, and they both insist on Next Day Air or equivalent at minimum of about $50. A dealer can ship a handgun First Class though, or Priority Mail at a lot less cost. But then I had one dealer turn around and tell me sure, he would ship it for me, for $150. **** that.
Ammo also requires adult signature at the receiving end, which is an additional cost. If you have had someone who didn't know that, or who was willing to break the rules and ship for you once without adult signature, consider yourself fortunate. But bear in mind, that rule is in place for a reason.
I have bought and sold a lot of ammo on GB. You just have to use the UPS or FEDEX web site and calculate the cost and include that in your auction listing. Somebody who wants your Carcano ammo badly enough will pay the shipping cost, whatever it is. (Do you have any more by the way?)
Also beware of locales where ammo is NOT ALLOWED to be shipped to a residence (LA and San Fran come to mind, as well as some others like Chicago I believe). MAKE SURE you know what the law is in the place you're shipping to, and it's constantly changing as the self-appointed ruling class communists step up their attempts to control us all.
From the web site of one online ammo vendor:
If you are in Illinois a FOID card must on file before we will ship.
If you are in Los Angeles City, Chicago, Cook County IL, New York State, or Massachusetts we will only ship to an FFL dealer.
If you are in Connecticut a State permit, certificate, or FFL is required.

were supposed to be phased out in 2013 or something, and replaced by this:
But recently as Feb 2016, I've gotten shipments of 22LR, .30 Carbine and police turn in .40 S&W with the ORM-D stickers.
With the latter, you still have to write the words "Small Arms Cartridges" on the box. I've drawn this symbol and written those three words on boxes with a Sharpie at the UPS counter before, and they've taken it. But I scrape these stickers from boxes that I've received ammo shipments in and keep them for future use. Most recently I sent a friend some en bloc clips with surplus ammo in them for a Garand.
