FedEx and UPS both technically prohibit shipping consumer fireworks through their regular ground services. They’re classified as hazardous materials (UN0336 for 1.4G) and neither carrier accepts them for standard ground shipment. If you get caught they’ll either refuse the package or blacklist you.

For 1.4G you need to use a hazmat-certified freight carrier. There’s actually a good breakdown in the Transport section here on the site that goes through carrier options. Might save you some trial and error.

1.3G is a whole other ballgame – that requires DOT hazmat endorsement, proper placarding, the whole thing. Stick with 1.4G unless youve got the licensing sorted.

If your buddy is close enough driving might honestly be easier than dealing with shipping headaches lol.
