Fedex Or UPS

[BANE]

UPS. I've had to many things go wrong with fedex and there a pain to deal with.
Granted UPS has lost and had a few boxes messed up but they always fixed the problem right away.

Q: May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U.S. Postal Service?
A nonlicensee may not transfer a firearm to a non-licensed resident of another State. A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. The Postal Service recommends that long guns be sent by registered mail and that no marking of any kind which would indicate the nature of the contents be placed on the outside of any parcel containing firearms. Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun.

[18 U.S.C. 1715, 922(a)(3), 922(a)(5) and 922 (a)(2)(A)]

Q: May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by common or contract carrier?
A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by a common or contract carrier to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm.

[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(2)(A), 922(a) (3), 922(a)(5) and 922(e), 27 CFR 478.31 and 478.30]

No matter how much you take a firearm apart the "receiver" (the main serial #part of the gun) is still a firearm. As a matter of fact the "receiver" is the ONLY part that is considered a firearm. The rest is in fact just parts.

Here it is from USPS too, USPS Firearm Shipping Regulations -

Not according to their website,

UPS: Shipping Firearms

Firearms (including handguns) may be shipped only through a UPS Scheduled Pickup Account (specifically, Daily Pickup, Daily On-Route Pickup, UPS Smart Pickup®, and Day-Specific Pickup), or through a UPS Customer Center (counters at UPS operational facilities). Note: Firearms (including handguns) are not accepted for shipment via, UPS Drop Boxes, UPS On-Call PickupSM, or at locations of The UPS Store® or any third party retailer.

Unless you have your own UPS account. I have shipped long guns from a UPS store to a gunsmith, but only after pointing out that I had printed out my own labels on my own UPS account. I did have to take my AR to a UPS service center, but that was due to excess value. I was claiming $2000 value.
