UPS now Requires a Preprinted Label to Ship Firearms

[John Allen]

I tried to ship a gun yesterday through the post office. It was going to an ffl but he would not send a copy of his license. The post office would not accept the gun unless they saw a copy of the receiving ffl. Just more bureaucratic nonsense.

The UPS hub people tell me that the policy went into affect on August 22nd.
This sounds like a board of director's policy change to me. You know the corporate creeps at the top that domino to every new and weird social movement out there. Here's the sign they have posted on the window at the hub. But, like I said before when you call this number they do not know what to do either. This WILL stop gun violence; target the people who have nothing to do with it. As far as ghost guns go, that's an ATF issue and all UPS would have to do is turn those people over to the AFT and eliminate that group, so I'm not buying that either. But, I'm sure the guy had to say something to appease your inquiry. It will be interesting to see if they come out with an official statement as to why they did this.

Why do you have to tell usps its a gun in the box, they never ask me what was in it when i ship a gun. I do ship to ffl dealers only when i ship and always use usps.

I run into the dealer I’m sending to not wanting to send their FFL with their funds from time to time . I’ve had several that wanted to see ours before they’d show me theirs . I tell them you’ll recieve a copy of ours in the box with the gun and you won’t recieve the gun if you don’t email me theirs or send a paper copy with their funds . 99% of the time they comply after I say that . Some dealers without a doubt have become super anal about sending their license .
