Shipping a stock- UPS/***???

[JayR01]

I stopped by the local UPS store today for an Amazon return and ship a stock to get painted. After the return was complete, she asked for the name and address- custom gun coatings. She asked if it was a gun- no. What is it- stock only. She stepped away for about 5 minutes and came back to tell me UPS didn't ship any gun parts.

No need to argue or rant, so I left.

I had no idea UPS, or any carrier, wouldn't ship gun parts. This has to be politically motivated, right? I thought complete guns were the issue, not part. Very unfortunate and frustrating.

Started last year around Sept for UPS and before that for Fed Ex. Just ship it USPS.

I went through the same thing last year. Some UPS stores will some won't. USPS is the least hassle and the cheapest.

I don't ever put the complete name of a gun smithing or barrel business on the address. For this example, I would've just said custom coatings …it's the word gun in their address that caught her attention.

I just shipped a chassis and told them it was golf clubs , what they don't know won't hurt me , LOL

Unless they lose it and then you are out the money as you didn't disclose what was in the package.

You shouldn't have to lie to ship a legal product in this country. If there are special handling requirements resulting in reasonable fees, I get it, but not because a carrier doesn't like a particular product.

They are regulated by the government so get your Congressman involved.

Wouldnt work but good luck. LOL Ship with USPS and no need to lie.

Why ? If they lose it they have to pay , how would it not work ?

Receipts and weights etc. Not going to argue with you about it but would never recommend anyone do that especially when you can ship them somewhere else perfectly legal. Just asking for problems.

It's down right crazy. I like to use UPS because they never lost a package and deliver on time. Since UPS started the new system UPS stores will not accept firearms anymore.
We have THREE Business accounts with UPS.
Regular shipping
Firearms shipping
Firearms Parts shipping.
Now when I ship Firearms or Parts UPS picks up at our business and charges more to schedule a pickup even though they drive by every day.
