Shipping guns?

[CWB]

What are the new rules for shipping a gun.
I know I have to send it to a FFL license dealer with paperwork, but does UPS or FedX require to be shipped from a FFL Licensed dealer?
Or can a person take it in to UPS or FedX with proper FFL paperwork and ship it myself?

FedEx and UPS won't allow you to ship it. You still can ship rifles and shotguns (not handguns) through USPS though. Or have a local FFL ship it for you but that usually adds to the cost.

If you wanted to ship UPS you can use a service like Shipmygun.com. They allow you to package and label it and drop it at a UPS hub to ship it out.

I've shipped shotguns worth north of 20,000 via usps and never had a problem. Fed ex was not good and ups flat out sucked! Now with the new rules it's pretty obvious ups doesn't want shooters business.

Yup true about the rifles/shotguns only and not pistols through usps. UPS new rule as of October 22 was no shipping from individuals for anything firearm related even parts but scopes are ok.

Both UPS and FEDEX are a no go unless you want to risk things but no declaring contents. (Shipper needs to be an FFL with a specific contract for shipping forearms.) USPS was easy. Place an AirTag in the case. You can easily find the UPS and FEDEX rules in this regard with a Google search.

Maybe what's happening is that BlackRock and Vanguard are both in control of FedEx and UPS. And maybe BlackRock and Vanguard don't want anybody using UPS or FedEx except Black Rock or Vanguard companies.

Or something along those lines....

What a load of conspiracy bollocks

Not sure what any of that means but I don’t think it’s any deeper than the usual liberal policies and trending anti gun.

They allow FFLs to ship pistols but not individuals.
