A couple of weeks ago I had to send off some parts for a potential job. A piece of steel I had turned to fit a Remington 700 receiver and chambered (literally just a piece of scrap steel) and a rectangular delrin block that I had machined with some slide serration style cuts. They gave me a very hard time about this, being "gun parts" (I had listed them as "machine prototypes" on the packing slip). I finally got to ship them, though.
Today I went to ship off a scope I had sold. I put it, with the mounts, in the box and taped it up and brought it in for them to pack it in some protective media and ship it off. About halfway through the paperwork, they inform me that they won't take it because it's a "gun part". Despite my insistence that it's no more a gun part than a hand held astronomy telescope, they were steadfast in refusing to ship it because it goes to a gun in some form.
Just a heads up for anybody trying to ship through the UPS retail stores. Don't expect any common sense or mercy.
