Ammunition restrictions name only Chicago, IL as a place that cannot be shipped to. Not otherwise restricted for Illinois on that page.
Most of Illinois: a FOID or Concealed Carry Permit plus a driver license or state ID, one matching the shipping address. Chicago, Chicago Heights, Cicero, Evanston, Norridge, Schaumburg and Thornton: ships only to a registered FFL with its FFL on file.
To legally possess firearms or ammunition, Illinois residents must have a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card, which is issued by the Illinois State Police to any qualified applicant.
Any resident may purchase ammunition from a person within or outside of Illinois if shipment is by United States mail or by a private express carrier authorized by federal law to ship ammunition.
Any resident purchasing ammunition within or outside the State of Illinois must provide the seller with a copy of his or her valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card or valid concealed carry license and either his or her Illinois driver's license or Illinois State Identification Card prior to the shipment of the ammunition.
Ammo may ship to an Illinois resident only after the buyer gives the seller a FOID card or concealed carry license plus an Illinois ID, and only to an address on those documents (official source).
Chicago: Chicago repealed its own ammunition possession section in 2013, so the state FOID shipping rule applies. Many retailers still exclude Chicago addresses by policy (source)
