I saw on this forum that Carlile Connect will ship ammo from Tacoma to Anchorage. I got together with Mac and he did some research and I did some research and put together a plan to ship 50# of ammo to Tacoma. I got lined out with Carlile Connect and Mac sent the ammo to Tacoma. I had to prepay Carlile for the shipping which was about $26.00+ change. They texted me today and told me it had arrived. I was particularly impressed with the boxing and packaging Mac did as it was solid as a rock.

I would do that again, not for just a box but it was several boxes. I just want people to know it’s actually possible and Mac did a good job holding up his end.

Thanks Mackay!!!

Good News. Shooters who are friends and/or guys who simply trust each other should be putting together massive orders.

Thanks for posting that. That's a downright reasonable price.

When you are getting set up with them, they will want dimensions and weight, and they will give you an approximate charge. They will give you an account number and when it gets to Tacoma you prepay. When it comes in they will call you to pick up. Pick up is down on first St, not over by the airport like before.

I rarely go to Los Anchorage but a shipment of ammo would give a reason to fly to town!

Let me know if you need a local runner. That isn't far from where I work, for better or worse.

Thanks for posting this Caribou Jack!

How it works is that the ammo is still shipped and insured for free to Carlile in Tacoma WA., as part of the purchase. Then you (just as Caribou Jack described) as the customer/receiver who has the account with Carlile pay the rest of the way with Carlile. With Caribou, I did a fair bit of testing of different box sizes and stuff, to try to make it as economical as possible. It still needs to be sturdy and well packaged since it has such a long journey, and we are not in control of who handles it and how.

Bottom line is that I was actually surprised at the price. I thought it was pretty darn reasonable considering the amount of ammo shipped. There are numerous ways it could be done, including a couple guys going in on an order together on their end.

It looks like a very good way to get ammo from Idaho to Alaska.

Any idea how much 10mm 200 gr HC ammo boxes would fit in a 5 gallon bucket, how much it would weigh and shipping rate ?

Mackay, just a thought, but since you have found a work-around to get your products to Alaska, it might be a good idea to make a note of it on your website.

Also I am in serious envy of that frog-sticker in the picture.

Best to you.

Why in a bucket?

Seems like it’d be a very inefficient packing method.

Think so ?

We've been using 5 gal buckets to ship all kinds of stuff to my brother in Oregon and back for many years via air cargo and never had any issues

obviously we can't ship ammo by air cargo but I don't see why it would be a problem for Carlile, ammo remains in original boxes, just packed tight in bucket and newspaper fills the voids and lid is snapped on with a tight fit and duck taped securely

I'd go for a bucket full of 10mm & 9mm ammo

I think the bucket would be protective, but not the packing efficiency* for orthorhombic boxes of ammo. But, yeah, it would work.


*lots of voids.

These should work !

gonna pick some up and see how many boxes of 10 mil I can pack in there, I have a 1000 ct box of 180 gr JHP S&B ammo to test with, along with another 1k of misc ammo boxes of different sizes, looks like it's gonna take quite a bit and will be heavy
