Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

What is going on with UPS?
I usually ship guns registered mail, but the USPS has been such a nightmare past year or so I figured I'd give UPS a try.
Took it to the HUB (not a UPS store) the actual HUB. They absolutely wouldn't take it, said I had to have an "account" or some horse shit.
Called Dan May, who the gun is going to, he had no idea what they were talking about. He's getting guns through UPS regularly from regular folks like myself.

I believe it’s due to this rule they have now
Quote:
UPS accepts packages containing Firearm Products for shipment only as a contractual service and only from Shippers who are licensed importers, licensed manufacturers, licensed dealers, or licensed collectors (as defined in Title 18, Chapter 44 of the United States Code) to authorized recipients, as outlined in the approved UPS agreement for the transportation of Firearm Products.
To transport packages containing Firearm Products, the Shipper must enter into an approved UPS agreement for the transportation of Firearm Products.

and possibly the person you ran into. Since the rules have been getting stricter, I’ve had better luck sending Registered or Priority Mail at a supportive post office, buying the label from Pirate Ship.
