It depends on the store. Some of them will do it. Some of them claim they can not, and soak you another $20.00. Be very careful dealing with stores and their hazmat policy. SOME OF THEMwill tell you one thing and then do another. If your not going to make large purchases of the caps and primers, your better off to just picking them up where you can. Remember as you travel around the country on short trips, stop at some of these gun shops and little sporting good stores. You'd be amazed at the bargins you can find in them. Lots of times, they have items that have been sitting on a shelf a long time, and they will make excellent deals to sell it (as I well know).
