It's only an internet forum, I wouldn't let it burn me up if I were you. People say and do things they wouldn't normally do in reality just because they can without any ramifications of significance.

UPS "STORES" are not true UPS hubs, they handle UPS shipments and can set there own rules. You can find UPS "stores" inside Staples, Office Max, MailBoxes Etc., Office Depot, etc. To ship ammo, gun parts, full guns, etc., you have to go to a UPS Customer Service Center or a UPS Hub. If the counter person gives you any grief, stop them in their tracks and get the manager, all the instructions to ship these types of things are fully outlined in their own regs. There is also a sticky on the forum explaining these things.

USPS - a non FFL can ship bullets or cases, not loaded ammo. A person can also ship a long arm to a person in the same state or to a FFL in any state.

UPS and FedEx - a non FFL can ship loaded ammo, gun parts or assembled guns as long as you do it by their regs. Again a person can ship a long arm to anyone not prohibited within their state or a handgun or long arm to any FFL in the US.

So, I had decided to ship a small amout of ammo to somebody today in exchange for items I really needed. I had read that UPS and FedEx both accept ammo packages, USPS does not. I placed the boxes of ammo into a plain cardboard box, taped everything nice and neat, and placed ORM-D small arms cartridges stickers all over the box as we are supposed to do. Now all I had to do was drop off my package at a UPS store, right?....wrong.

UPS stores won't accept ammo or any guns or gun parts.

When the FREEP did THAT become policy?!?!

I've NEVER had a problem with UPS Stores and ammo... of course, I haven't shipped any in at least 2 years, either. I notice UPS still DELIVERS my ammo with no problems.

Maybe you need to let a TSA agent come over, and give you a slow dance, and get to third base with you, before it'll ship.

I believe the OP was talking about a UPS Store that is not a UPS Customer Service Center or a Hub. These UPS "Stores" are like franchises that are general shipping places and they can set their own rules. I have never had any problems shipping from a Customer Service Center or a Hub.

Ammo is one thing - tag ORM-D for sure.

As for parts, unless they open the box of "car parts", how will they know? I'm just saying... Make sure you play by the rules where jail time could be involved for breaking said rules. What's the worst that can happen - UPS returns the package to the sender?

JasonK007, did you always live in Perkasie?

I've lived in Quakertown for 1 year and Lansdale for 1 year but had spent 30 years of my life in Perkasie. It seems that everytime I move away from this little town, I end up moving back.

Rep to you but you should not call it something it's not.
Call it machine parts.
That is what they are.
Happy Holidays!

And people complain when I say I wont ship ammo to them or add too much for S&H. When i got to drive an hour out of my way to do it, costs add up.



On the side, anyone need .30 remington?

^^^^
This,
Every time I put up ammo for sale, I try to explain that I have to drive to the UPS hub or create a UPS shipping account to ship ammo as well as leave work early to get to the HUB.
Driving and my time cost money, so I always say FTF only, only to get 5 people telling me how easy it is to ship ammo and that if I would ship it they would buy it.

Bah, not for me.
