around here - the only way to ship UPS is a drop off location (the nearby "customer service" office is now a small drop box outside the truck garage) - like a CVS pharmacy - or a UPS store- not sure what the limits are on package size. Fedex has a real service site, I set up an business account, and they are okay to deal with, but I actually rarely use them

i have mostly used USPS Priority for shotguns and have not had any issues -
I have used PirateShip.com for two years and it saves a lot of $. Almost $1000 since using them. I always have used USPS by printing a ship label and sit on pins and needles as John Davis pointed out waiting for the delivery.

I am going to try Victor's method but also thought that UPS would not take any firearm, pre-printed or not.

Victor, do you take your shipments to a UPS designated shipper? Or to an "Official" UPS center?
