Yeah, my UPS guy is getting a work out with 2000 .40 170 gr. bullets, 3000 9mm 124 grainers, 3000 .224 55 gr., 2000 .30 165 gr. and a big package of 9 ammo boxes. And 2000 .45 230 gr are on the way (that should be fun).

Those bullet packages are small but very dense. One of the lead bullet guys I buy from can send up to 2000-3000 bullets in one flat rate USPS box. Even the US MAil carrier gets a work out.

I know what you mean. I just got a shipment of 1000 bullets this morning and it weighed 35 lbs. I don't know what the postman thought, but my secretary didn't like it! LOL She kind of dreads my deliveries ever since I started reloading. She hates them even more now that I'm ordering 325 and 400 gr bullets.
