The "UPS STORE" is not #1 in customer service

My point was that the way both you and Mike had worded your previous posts, you made it seem that shipping to a non-licensee was always illegal, so that the notification issue was moot.

If that is not what you meant, you might want to check what you actually wrote, and edit if you wish.

(Since my further point was that there are instances where you could legally ship to a non-licensee, but would then break the law if you did not notify.)

Okay, I see where my previous statement could be missunderstood. I meant shipping to a non FFL would be illegal if you did not notify the carrier..I went back and removed it.

One of the first firearms I shipped USPS I told the post master that it was a firearm and he said he didn't care and didn't want to know.

I shipped a rifle UPS last year for a hunting trip. The counter person asked me if there was any ammo with it, I said yes and they said that was against their policy.
So, they gave me a box cutter and some tape to take the ammo out of the gun case and put it in with the bed roll. Just as courteous as you could ask for.

I'm not sure it isn't a different deal about everywhere you go depending on who happens to be working there.
 
dont people still have the ability to have the ups man himself come by in his little brown truck and pic up packages from your front door?

yes I can...fedex too....but I have only tried to do it on returns or when they knew I would have to ship something back(like when they send you a new phone they might need old one back and provide label as one example).

I always figured that was the best deal i could get...not sure if they do less regular pickups or not.....
 
What's often missed in shipping is that when you fill out the shipping form and sign it, you're signing a legal contract.

If you lie and say a package containing a gun contains "machine parts" or something else, you've violated the legal contract.
If the package is lost, stolen, or damaged, the shipper will not give you a dime since you broke the contract.

An easy way out of the far away UPS Depot and the "no guns" UPS store is to simply have UPS pick the package up at your door.
 
The way it was put to me, was that they are legally obligated to accept firearms from FFL dealers. However they can refuse service to anyone else wishing to ship firearms. This apparently is regarding all the carriers. Like I said. Just the way it was put to me though.
 
I don't think that many of you realize that a UPS STORE is a Franchised operation. These, in many instances, were the old Mailboxes etc. So in effect - the policies of UPS stores are not the same as UPS. Because these "stores" are privately owned. Hence they don't accept firearms per their store policy.

When I shipped firearms twice - I got a pre paid package slip via Fed Ex once from Taurus and once from UPS for Beretta.
