n00b shipping questions

There is no requirement by UPS Corp. to demand any paperwork. The BATF also says to FFLs to not give out a copy of their FFL to non-FFLs, so the most you might have is the ezcheck printout.

If you tell me where exactly you went, I can see if the person I know of at UPS Corp. is still there and have him call them. He has solved UPS problems for me in the past.

its not a issue now , have the FFL's dealing with it but this is where i went
UPS hub / Customer Center Anderson, CA 96007

the guy told me that this is something new and has had it happen 3 times this week/month , not sure if its asking for the FFL paperwork or that FFL's are not giving it out recently ... not sure ........

Over the years some locations make things up and claim it is a requirement. Corp. can set them straight. I will try to check on this on Monday.

just wanted to update this for someone that might be searching for info...
total shipping cost was 75 bucks for next day air and insurance , my FFL charged me a whopping $0.00 and will be getting all my business this year for doing all this for me she would not accept anything for her troubles

so here is a shout out for "survival country" in Red Bluff CA. Tehama county if you are looking for a FFL

uggggggg just checked tracking and 2 attempts to deliver now and finial attempt will be monday, what do i do if they dont take it ? i am NOT going out of pocket again for 75 bucks and the headache
definitely never shipping again too much stress ....

Yeah you'll be out the bucks. Did the receiving FFL know the package was coming? Do you know if they got a copy of the tracking or are they on vacation?

my FFL was in contact with them on the 16th and i emailed them the tracking info when it was sent on the 17 and just emailed them again to point out the second attempt , still no reply .... oh well its out of my hands and not paying one red cent more for shipping or gas(120 miles so far for shipping) ... i have done all i can in my eyes ....

Well hopefully whoever you sold it to paid for all this mess! I would hope the person receiving is all over their dealer. It isn't your fault it didn't make it there.

buyer paid 50 in shipping i ate the other 25 and gas costs, he is in France right now until the 29 so not sure how much help he will be, but emailed him also to let him know ...

at this point I am just going to try to forget about this deal and let the buyer and FFL's deal with it as I dont think I have any interest in the gun anymore once it goes into the FFL's acquisition book and out of the book to the buyers FFL do I ?

[ugimports]

it's technically yours until it gets DROSd on the other end or if the buyer fails DROS. All depends how you wrote up your bill of sale (if any).

well got a response from the buyers FFL, he went to their UPS Hub and picked it up today.... so finally i can breath easy and spend the $$$ that is left after this transaction that took almost a full month ....lol
