I'm ignorant I guess, but how did anyone ever ship a gun without a pre-printed label anyway? Every gun I ever shipped I took to a UPS shipper, who was also an FFL holder. They weighed it, printed out everything to put on the package, I paid them, and UPS picked it up next time around.

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.

I discussed it with a UPS rep yesterday. He said the new policy is in response to unserialized "ghost guns" being shipped individual to individual bypassing FFLs. Both fedex and UPS have found undeclared guns in shipments. I guess they must run them through scanners like at the airports. The post office will still take a gun if you show them a copy of the receiving ffl. The problem is most ffl holders will not send out a copy of their license to a non ffl.

I take any packages to my local UPS shipper at a hardware store. They measure the package and weigh it, print the label, give me a tracking # and off I go to pay at the sales counter. They don't ask what is in the package. I always purchase insurance to cover the cost of the item. We'll see what happens next time I need to make a shipment.

I’m a bit surprised so many folks on this thread tell these couriers what they have in their sealed packages. I do not recall ever being asked by FedEx or UPS, and if I was, “mechanical apparatus” was enough said. Flag your package as a firearm and you are just asking for a lost/theft claim.

If you don't tell them it is a gun and they find that it is,you will lose your gun. Both UPS and Fedex have confiscated guns and turned them in to the ATF. The UPS rep showed me the internal email they all got this past Monday. They are not allowed to take guns or gun parts from anyone who does not have a UPS account. All guns have to be declared and shipped to an FFL.
