wwillson Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I've heard UPS requires air, but is it next day early, next day, next day saver, 2 day?Thanks,Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 They require next day air and you have to ship it at the UPS terminal counter. A "UPS Store" won't accept firearms for shipment. If the particular counter person you're dealing with is feeling generous he/she may let you slide with next day saver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwillson Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 you have to ship it at the UPS terminal counter. A "UPS Store" won't accept firearms for shipment. Thanks a real bummer because I have a UPS store about three blocks from my house. The terminal counter is about 10 miles away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I've read that they require air because when it's shipped ground they have a tendency to get stolen. Air requires such expedited and tracked handling that scum have less time to see and steal it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_in_Utah Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Yep, Handguns have to go overnight ($$$) because UPS and FEDEX can not take care of their dishonest employees. They will not even allow 2nd day air! I'm sending my new Smith to MA on their dime and yes the label they sent me is for overnight. Loved the old days when ground was acceptable.

2010_FX4 Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 I received 3 new handguns at my FFL dealer in Texas via Fed-Ex 2nd Day Air with no problems less than 1 month ago from Bud's Gun Shop in Kentucky. I also received 1 handgun via UPS 2nd day about 6 months prior to that.Not sure if this is a per state situation, but no problems with 2nd day air in Texas...

G-MAN Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Bud's is an FFL. A FFL can mail a handgun if they want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
