New BATF requirement???

It will take a really long time :-).

You could consider it surface, which would be boat.

It was created by the carrier's to decrease internal theft. Their own employees were stealing guns like crazy so they instituted this requirement. Pretty lame if you ask me.

If you knew what went on inside the hub you'd never ship UPS again...lol

I talked to the person that I know at the BATF and he said that there is no requirement at all. I am going to call this guy and get more details. It might be that either he or his BATF inspector/agent is confused with the requirements of UPS and FedEx, which have no relationship to USPS.

Seems like I would leave it at that. As has been said, if that was a new requirement we would already know about it. Having sent a couple guns to hawaii, they do operate under some different requirements for the state but not Feds.

I person I know is in LA, CA. I would still like to know what the BATF is Hawaii is claiming.

Field offices have gone off the reservation before...sounds like this may be something cooked up locally.

Yep, it appears to be the case. One issue is that it is a small office, with little recourse if you annoy the only person who deals with the FFLs there.

I talked to my UPS delivery guy today and he said it is a UPS policy that all handguns they ship go 2nd day air.

This is half right half wrong.

The BOOK says they have to go overnight.

The company makes exceptions for large volume customers for handguns to go 2nd day - examples are Smith and Wesson, RSR, Davidsons, etc.

That is ONLY UPS policy, which is similar to FedEx, but that does not relate to USPS.
