UPS and shipping a rifle.

[Thorsen]

I was under the impression that I could ship a long gun via ground through UPS. Just got off of the phone with a UPS rep and she told me that I have to ship it overnight and that I also have to take it to a main shipping hub.

Is she wrong or am I wrong?

Handguns must be overnighted. Ground is perfectly fine for rifles.
You have to take it to the hub; no shipping firearms from The UPS Store.

You can also mail rifles. Mark

Handguns must be shipped overnight according to rules of the common carriers like UPS, FedEx etc.

Handguns shipped by A FFL using USPS can be shipped Priority mail or Express mail from what my FFL tells me.

It does not have to be overnighted.

I shipped my rifle. Had to make a UPS account online, free tho.

Just box it up, print a label, and have the UPS man pick it up at your door.

Make sure to insure it and require an adult signature.

You sure it isn't federal law too, Sam? I remember reading something on the F-Troop website about handguns and overnight but this could be wrong.
Also - I wasn't aware FFLs could do that. Thanks for the info.

I have a form the PO gave me to fill out Ill have a look at it and see if I can find a Digital version on the web and link to it.
