[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1018379, member: 30743"] The UPS store is separate from UPS and has a company policy that says they won't ship anything to do with firearms. If you want to ship UPS you have to go to one of their service counters, they'll ship it. It's perfectly legal to ship a gun to a gunsmith for repair and for him to ship it straight back to you, Fedex, UPS, and the post office will all do it. Occasionally you'll run into an anti-gun employee working the counter that will try and refuse to take it, some people just get hysterical when you mention "gun". It helps to have a printout of the section of the company's manual detailing their policy to keep them honest, that usually takes care of it. I once had a UPS counter employee refuse to ship one in Meridian MS, getting the manager involved didn't help until I called the gunsmith and had him talk to the manager. He quoted the exact reference in their shipping manual and had the UPS guys look it up, they finally admitted they had to take it. This happened in Mississippi so you can imagine it could be a problem in more left leaning areas of the country. That's the only time I've had a problem out of many that I've shipped. I don't make a habit of telling them it's a firearm, you're not required to and it's really none of their business. If they ask I tell them I'm shipping it to a gunsmith for repair. If they know their rules they'll realize it's OK. [/QUOTE]
