Schedule a pickup??!?

[skyjerk]

So I call Fedex to find a location near me from which I can ship a rifle.

The guy tells me that there is no such place and that I have to schedule a pickup.

Huh?

Well thats bullshit because I dont know how much this box weights etc.

Is he full of shit?

I dont know how Fedex is with guns but the UPS store will not ship anything for you if they know its a gun even though they do ship guns. We always just drop them off at a UPS Hub.

Yeah. I spoke with someone at the main office and they said I can drop off at that location.

All better now.

with UPS a firearm is suppose to be declared, so you can not drop them off at a drop box or UPS store. Not to mention that MOST of the UPS stores and FEDEX drop points do NOT get reguler pick ups. Pick up is based on the number of packages sitting there so if you do drop a firearm off there then it very well could sit there for a couple days. NOT a good idea.
