I talked to the UPS and Fedex stores in my area and they are refusing to ship ammo or gun parts. UPS will ship a firearm FFL to FFL only, from the local UPS hub, but not any type of gun related parts. My local UPS is considering ANY live ammo as hazardous/no ship without the full meal deal hazmat training and license. No triggers, barrels, stocks, brass or bullets either. Even BB's are on the no ship list! Fedex is just an unapologetic flat NO to everything, even with a call tag.
How is everyone shipping this stuff? Yes, I could fib about what is in the box, but I don't need trouble in my life. Are there other shippers that are willing to do this that anyone knows about? The funny thing is that UPS and Fedex have both delivered this type of stuff to my house in the VERY recent past.
Does anyone know if any DOT rules have changed on any of this for 2021?
I heard that UPS is being or has been sold, is this a result of new owner rules, or is it just an anti-gun type decision of my local UPS and Fedex locations? I do know that they do not have to ship anything they don't want to, even if it is perfectly legal to do so. I also read up on what is legal to ship by ground (ORM-D) as far as small arms munitions goes.
Frustrating, as I have some factory ammo I wanted to sell to help fund a new item, and now seems the best time to do that. For the time being, I am just going to list locally.
Anyone else running into this issue?
