Well, I can tell you that I've spoken to Fedex at their nationwide phone number. I talked to 3 different people in 2 days, All 3 said they have express shipping on handguns 1, 2 or 3 day options. I have bought handguns from members here who have also shipped handguns from private to my FFL Dealer by way of FedEx Express". I know it works, and have done it manyyyyy times. That over night shipping as being "the only way to ship" is bullchit. Try calling Fedex, even talk to a few FedEx techs , and they will say the same as what I said. I just got off the phone with them an hour ago to add again . They said thier policy hasn't changed a bit, and "FedEx express" is still available as a shipping option up to a 3 day delivery service." And by the way BEFORE any handguns are shipped I always call to ask again if they still have thier Express " Shipping option which to date they do. It's thier rules, has nothing to do with who is handling the package. I have always verified with local FedEx, to confirm what thier main office says, and they said everytime I'm correct in that shipping option as I was told by thier main nationwide FedEx center. When I read that kind if stuff it tells me that many people do not do thier homework. My uncle owned a Ruger stocking dealer gunshop for over 40 years, and was a good gunsmith also.Overnight is fedexs policy , just depends whose handling your package at the time cause once it's shipped there's no going back but overnight shipping is required .

I lived I that shop as much as I could. I'm pretty well versed in most gun related things because of it, and known and talked to a lot if gun writers who I was friends with , and used to pack many of the guns to ship for my uncle's customers over the years, and honestly can't tell you how many that has been. Now days I just ship for myself. I used to ship so many guns to Ruger for various things, that thier gunsmith techs and custom guys knew me by name. I've done lots of it over the years.
Just a super hobby as most of us here enjoy.
