UPS Ground, marked in compliance with Fed Law (ORM-D Small Arms Ammunition or some new funky symbol). Must be dropped off at the UPS Depot or handed to a driver. [This is combo of Fed Law and UPS Regs.]
Note: Same deal if you decide to use FedEx Ground. Illegal to ship thru USPO.
ETA: No idea if there is any CT law wrt shipping ammo. I'll leave that answer to a CT resident.
Diamond Labels Will Replace ORM-D Labels on Ammo Shipments
The days of the “ORM-D: Small Arms Cartridges” labels for ammo shipments are numbered. The Dept. of Transportation (DOT) is phasing out the current ORM-D ammo labels, replacing them with a larger striped diamond label that does not mention “Small Arms Cartridges”. This change is designed to harmonize U.S. shipping rules with United Nations standards. You can start using the new “Limited Quantity” diamond labels for ammo shipments immediately, but they are not mandatory — yet. You can continue to use the old ORM-D “Cartridges, Small Arms” labels until December 31, 2013. As of January 1, 2014 you MUST use the Striped Diamonds.

Does UPS have the funky symbol when you go to ship? if not where do you buy it?
