PDX Airport hub.

FedEx Ship Center - Portland, OR - 5159 NE Cornfoot Dr 97218

There's also one near Swan Island,
FedEx Ship Center - Portland, OR - 4344 N Port Center Way 97217

but if i go that far, I prefer UPS. Actually, I prefer neither, but I feel less penetration from UPS.

shipped my Ruger 9mm to the factory by UPS---no problems

When I have shipped Fedx or UPS I have had to go to a company owned location. The UPS and Fedx locations in most neighborhoods are franchised stores not owned by the shippers. You need to go to a company owned location. You can call the number listed on their web page to find the nearest company location that accepts firearms.

Ya, if you declare it s firearm, some franchise owners get weird.

Don't declare it a firearm, you don't have to.

Though the shape of a boxed rifle can give it away sometimes.

I shipped a pistol from the FedEx in Cornelius, Or with no problems. The ladies there were helpful.

It's got to be a shipping center, not a FedEx Kinko's or UPS Store.

It is none of their business what is in the box, so long as it is not on their list of no fly materials like damaged batteries.

Correct, however it may be advisable to get the correct amount of insurance on the shipment to cover the cost of the firearm. I always do.

I have used both Fedex and UPS stores, not hubs to ship a firearm. Neither asked, nor did I declare it was a firearm. I used fedex for a couple of pistols as their nexday services tend to be less expensive. I simply requested the next day and insurance. Nothing less, nothing more.

Oh, I get a kick out of it when they do ask you to declare what it is. This usually happens when they are inputting the insurance.

I usually state, "valuable mechanical instrument".

FedEx at Cornell by Costco has accepted handguns, shipping back to Springfield Armory... No issues...

I can ship USPS Priority Mail if someone ever need some relief from serious high shipping costs for pistols.

I shipped a handgun to a Texas FFL through the UPS hub in Tualatin. The local UPS store would not accept it.

It is not a bad idea to declare what it is, as it gets better handling. The FFL got it early in the A.M. on a 2 day shipment, when usually it is scheduled by end of day.

My experience, just for more info.

We ship guns with them everyday, and receive guns from them every day. The counter people are most often complete idiots as it pertains for shipping guns. Rifles ground freight OK. They will tell you that you have to ship handguns via next day air...but all of mine show up 2nd day from Fed Ex. Don't ask, Don't tell.

UPS rules are the same. USPS wont take handguns. I prefer not telling people whats in the box, makes it more of a target for a thief...

This x100.

I would never tell someone even at a hub or franchise that there is a gun in the box. I've worked at UPS for 5 years back in my college days. Guns, and Apple products were the most targeted by employee theft.

This is why some manufacturers, I wish more did this, have a simple mailing address. Like "Return Center" instead of Remington, as it was easier to target known addresses.

If you walk in and tell them it's "a gun" many of them will send you away. It's not a matter of which one you are at, it's a matter of who is working when you get there.

a FFL can ship handguns USPS. Requires a form 1508 and a paper copy of your ffl form. Any post office I have ever shipped from was most helpful
