That's what I thought also.I thought UPS and FedEx both recently changed their rules making it about impossible to ship a gun? Like to do so requires an account with them and the account holder has to be an FFL.
Yeah that is a good question.dumb question but how would they know what you are shipping?
From what I understand it just needs to be sent from a Hub. It’s my 1911 that will be making the trip to see Allen MThat's what I thought also.
When they ask, machine parts...Yeah that is a good question.
Yep.I thought UPS and FedEx both recently changed their rules making it about impossible to ship a gun? Like to do so requires an account with them and the account holder has to be an FFL.
Might work, but they can be pesky curious. For a handgun you may get away with it but they will possibly open or scan an obvious rifle box. Stupid I know.When they ask, machine parts...
And when it disappears?When they ask, machine parts...

A box of machined parts.And when it disappears?
Have you used them lately?I have good luck with UPS. Fedex is what I use if I don't want my package to get to it's destination. I'd ask Allen M what he recommends since he obviously ships and receives firearms with some regularity.
Have you used them lately?
Looks like there is a service out there ship my firearm, may use them as a last resort? Other option is to visit some friends in Indiana and drop it off in person.Not to ship a firearm.
The downside to 'don't tell' is, if their policy does indeed place restriction on your shipment of a firearm that you don't meet, the insurance won't matter because should they lose your shipment or it is pilfered and you declare what was lost they will not honor the claim. Similarly, if somewhere along the way it is discovered that you have shipped something in violation of their policies, I would expect they would not proceed with delivery to the end destination and may require some jumping through hoops to get your shipment backdumb question but how would they know what you are shipping?
Agreed, although I must say some packages I have received from UPS appeared to have been thrown out of the freighter aircraft as it passed overhead at 36000 feetA box of machined parts.
With my 40+ years of shipping firearms and then with a business that shipped a dozen or more tools through USPS & UPS packages six days a week. And tons of ammo and reloading componets that have been delivered.
Never once and I repeat never once was one lost. Arrive squished, Arrived late, Yes on occasion but never lost.
