Heh, heh...revenge on FedEx

[leelaw]

usps has the same money back guarantee for overnight shipments.

But only an FFL can ship a handgun via USPS.

For longguns USPS is the way to go - much cheaper for USPS Priority than UPS/FEDEX overnight.

It's a little cheaper with UPS Next Day Air Saver... But still $$$$.

I did the same thing. I shipped a long gun using fedex and it ran me about $110 (will never do that again) using priority overnight and it took them 2 days. Filed for a refund and got it within a week. Been using UPS ever since.

NO.

He's not right.

Federal law covers delivery to and by a common carrier. FX and UPS tariffs have required overnight shipping for several years.

Try 27CFR Part 478 Sec. 478.31 Delivery by common or contract carrier.


This section requires you to declare there's a gun in the box when you deliver it to the carrier.

-hanko

Only if shipping to a nonlicensee. Notification is not legally required when shipping to an appropriate FFL holder. However, since the carriers require notification, I would not skip notification unless you don't mind risking payment of any possible insurance claims.
