Up until last week,an individual could take a gun to UPS and they would accept it as long as you confirmed it was going to an ffl. Now they will not accept any gun or gun parts unless you have an account set up with them. They will not take a gun from an ffl unless he has an account with them. Fedex has a similar policy. Fedex recently confiscated some guns that were not declared as guns when they were shipped.

Interesting, because when UPS wouldn't take my shipment of a Perazzi yesterday I went to FedEx. They didn't ask anything about what was in the package and none of their check boxes ask that question either. Although, I did show them the FFL for the address. Even after that did the clerk ask what was in the box, so I don't know how they classified it. I do know it was just short of $200 to send it. And I do have an account at UPS. I know they did no training on their new policy because the clerks have no idea of what to do or how to do it. Even when you call in they have no idea and have to put you on hold to ask others what to do. What a mess...

So, for me, nothing has changed at all. Sorry for those of you that WILL be inconvenienced, though.
