I LOVE Getting packages marked ORM-D!

I love it too, but when it finally arrives it's always smaller than I imagined and hoped for .

My UPS knows me pretty well by now. Every time he sees an ORM-D anything he figures he's got a stop at my apartment complex.

Always a smile when he sees me...cause I'm smiling back...we know what's coming.

I like it too but I really hate it that now along with the ORM-D they are putting Small arms cartridges on the same label.
It's a strong invitation for theft.

But why do they put ORM-D on shipments of Remington Gun Oil?

ORM-D is also used on aeresol cans too.

ORM-D is also put on select cosmetics as well. Wife and I came home to a box labeled ORM-D and I was much more excited than she. I figured it was a gift from a family member or something. Turned out to be an AVON box. Can't recall if it had any aeresol in it or not but probably did.

Haven't seen such a package since January. Its not for a lack of trying I can assure you. The sites I buy from still say out of stock and no backorder or simply out of stock. A bummer for sure. Anyway the hunk of a UPS driver is no more. He has been replaced by a lady. So no eye candy for me. He sure looked good,muscles flexed while carying 2160 rounds of 5.45x,39. He will be missed. Any way back on track I don't think I'll see ORM-D on any packages any time soon but you never know.

Really...AVON?

ORM-D:

The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 49 Part 171.8 defines a Consumer Commodity and those items with exceptions provided in the 172.101 table, of limited quantity, and conforming to the definition of "Consumer Commodity" may be marked and sent ORM-D. There are weight and volume restrictions for all ORM-D packages which vary by hazard class.

Here's a link to the 172.101 table if you like to see the list of materials that qualify for hazardous materials labeling = ORM-D.

I love that 2 cases of .22lr were at my door a couple of days ago. I don't love what it did to my credit card, though.

Other Regulated Material-Dangerous Basically just a label for things considered hazardous that can go through the mail.

You are going to have to trade in that love of ORM-D for Limited Quantity.

Most people think mail and USPS are synonymous. USPS prohibits the shipping of Small Arms Ammunition Cartridges. FedEx and UPS are your friend.

Yes, turned out to be AVON. A yellow ORM-D sticker is much easier to see from the front parking lot than forest green on cardboard.
