Default UPS now Requires a Preprinted Label to Ship Firearms

My local UPS terminal told me Friday that I cannot ship a firearm unless I now have a pre-printed shipping label- even if it is being shipped directly to an FFL holder. In the past when I sold one of my used firearms I could ship to the buyer's FFL holder with no problems.
I asked why this is now required- the answer was several Senators put a stop to shipping because of "ghost" guns.
The senators?

Any time I ship a gun, such as last Friday, I go directly to the UPS terminal at the Hartford/Springfield airport, and print my own label.

Our local UPS requires all guns be shipped from the main terminal which is in the most inconvenient part of the whole county. Stupid

The Zanesville terminal UPS folks did not offer that. They said someone with a UPS account would need to print a shipping label
This also includes gun parts??
I will again check Tuesday

I use the Post Office. Cheaper and I can insure it.

The last time I shipped UPS, they wanted a copy of the FFL document to prove the address was to a FFL holder. What does it say on their UPS website?

They can’t completely legislate gun control so they are going to try and regulate and impede any and all gun commerce. Do you think the criminals care about what they do?

They say gun control is about safety and keeping guns out of the hands of criminals. But the laws and regulations are nothing more than an assault on law abiding gun owners which do nothing to promote safety or stop criminals.

I got a FedEx account and print my own labels of my home printer, easy as pie and the rates are cheaper than what you get at the FedEx store or drop off point. It also allows you to redirect signature required packages to a local FedEx store. Easy no questions asked.
