UPS now Requires a Preprinted Label to Ship Firearms

[tom tutwiler]

Every time I've sold and shipped that gun, I've had to have the receivers FFL in my hand prior to shipping said gun. It's send to my email account digitally. I download a copy for my records. PS. I don't have an FFL. In a few cases the receiving dealer has requested it come from an FFL and if he does I tell the buyer he is paying for that additional service. It normally works out. PS. I used to ship via UPS but it was a PIA and so I ship USPS only. I've never been asked what was in the box other then declaring that it wasn't and explosive, liquid etc etc. Guess I will find out soon as I'll be shipping a gun to my stock guy in the next few weeks.

Assuming the stock guy doesn't have an FFL please let us know how this transaction works out for you.
Thanks!

He has an FFL. I think all stock guys do. I think they are in the Gunsmithing category and all gunsmiths have to have an FFL. Ditto for engravers. They have to have an FFL also and log the firearms into their books in case the feds come knocking on the door. PS. I know a few guys who refinish stocks on the side. They don't have an FFL, because they only receive wood and not the metal work.
