I need to send one of my pistols back to the manufacturer for some minor repairs and upgrade. I understand that I can't ship a firearm through the US Postal Service and must use UPS or FedEx. To my knowledge there are no legal regulations on such a shipment (other than must be to a licensed manufacturer etc.) but that UPS and FedEx have their own policies and rules, including using overnight service at outrageous prices.
Is there some justification for using overnight service besides profit? The manufacturer implied that they receive many pistol shipments by regular ground service, so how would UPS or FedEx know what I am shipping? Are there penalties for mistakenly shipping by regular ground service. So what do you folks do?
Thanks!
Tom
