I've heard about four different variations on the new UPS rules for shipping guns. Does anyone know the correct, short version of what's going on with them.

It seems spelled out here .. https://www.ups.com/us/en/support/shipp ... earms.page

Reading it carefully, you don't take them to a UPS Store. You have to schedule a pickup which I THINK means you have to have an account with them. I could be wrong on that but when I shipped ammo they would not take it at the store. I had to call in a pickup order and they came to my house and got it. I have a UPS account so all it required was a call-in. I did have to label the package with the hazardous materials stickers. It was only 75 pounds of ammo which ain't a lot.

I just shipped a gun UPS to get it rebarreled. They did it but I was told they were changing policies on shipping and so is fedex.
I was told that part of the problem is major thefts in larger cities by employees. A local shop here told me two of their ordered rifles were stolen coming to Wy from Salt Lake in one week.

I purchased a 9mm pistol online. It was shipped to my FFL but never made it. After waiting out the UPS investigation the company sent me another one and it made it through.
