UPS Changes to Gun Shipping Policies

[6.5 forever]

Updates please...

Can scopes, rings, etc...be shipped UPS?

Thanks

I shipped one and it was returned to me from the manufacturer thru UPS.

Yes you can ship a scope as a private individual through ups. It’s on their site as not a firearm part. Rings? Not sure how they would twist that but if selling with the scope just list the scope and ship it.

Rings are metal fittings. Lol

If just selling rings it's cheaper and faster to send them USPS small priority box.

Scopes, rings: Yes.

"Etc"? You'll have to be quite specific.

And they're not reproducing, so thank God for that.

Unfortunately you are wrong about that.

A buddy of mine shipped a rifle UPS at a Staples store a couple of weeks ago. No problem.

FORUM BOSS: Folks, here is the current UPS policy. Read it yourself. It says Gun shipments are only allowed from Federal Licensees.

How To Ship Firearms | UPS - United States

Information from UPS about how to ship firearms, which are considered a special-care shipment and require some extra steps before packing them up and shipping.

Then your buddy didn't tell them what was in the package, it was prelabeled and he dropped it at the wrong place or he got real lucky.

Today UPS shipped AR-15 Upper. No problem....and yes they knew what was in the package...and not lucky...they knew from the start.

Yes you were lucky because they didn't know their own policy. Should not have shipped.

 

[Rob01]

Bullshit ! He told them it was a rifle. The clerk said, No problem.

Then it was the third one and the people didn’t know their policy. Not BS.

Also companies can still ship them so receiving an AR upper is not news. It’s from individuals.

This is getting out of control, if it is a legal product a carrier should be required to accept and make the delivery. They are regulated by government agencies supposedly for the benefit of the people and commerce. It is time to stop this nonsense. The anti-freedom crowd has bred and bought their way into the governing majority.

Look how the media has been corrupted. Should we just accept that we can now be governed by corporations (carriers and credit card companies) rather than a government founded upon the U.S. constitution? Is that what we want?

It is time to protest this backdoor, corporate censorship of our freedoms. An in their-face campaign. Stand up now or kneel later.

I totally agree, BUT! what do you do when across the country the majority is voting against us. I am near 70 Served 4 years in USMC and I have never been more worried about our country. Gary

I took an AR upper and some ammo to UPS this morning…this sign was on the counter and confirmed by the UPS agent……very apologetic, but that’s their position.

USPS is cheaper anyway.

People, the current UPS policy is online. Do NOT make misleading assumptions because a buddy recently got away with something.

Here is the policy, from the UPS website, 4:25 pm 11/21/22:

Shipments containing Firearm Products are accepted for transportation only from shippers who are federally licensed and have an approved UPS agreement for the transportation of Firearm Products.

additionally:

UPS accepts packages containing Firearm Products for shipment only as a contractual service and only from Shippers who are licensed importers, licensed manufacturers, licensed dealers, or licensed collectors (as defined in Title 18, Chapter 44 of the United States Code) to authorized recipients, as outlined in the approved UPS agreement for the transportation of Firearm Products.

Exactly right. I voted, and lost again....

I will ditch UPS and FedEx. USPS doesn't pick up at businesses ( i think) so they are caught.

Also will try to do the same on incoming packages. It ain't about the $$$

Later

Sent a resizing die to Forster last Friday at a UPS shipping store. Address said something about gunsmithing. She immediately asked if it was a gun part. Her story was that UPS is not FFL authorized to accept or ship gun parts from the public.

That was her explanation, she did ship the die when I explained it did not fit on any type of firearm.

I have visited with our postal service delivery guy, he laughs about delivering gun parts all the time.
