So.....
Was checking on the cost to ship a rifle to New Mexico via UPS, and they say it has to be next day air since it's a firearm, and it's gonna cost me over $253 !!!!
Am I missing something?
I know online sales and distributors don't pay anywhere CLOSE to that. What's the trick?
Box it up, unloaded.
Bicycle parts must be unloaded.
Again it "depends". It does not always have to. Stuff like this is where the net gets scary. When people start asking for legal advice on firearms. People throw out all kinds of "stuff" and much of it is totally off the mark. If someone wants to ship a gun and is not sure? An FFL is a GREAT place to start with asking how.And I think it has to go to an ffl, doesn't it?
Only if the state requires a BGC for transfer. If it's your own gun I don't think anyone else knows.And I think it has to go to an ffl, doesn't it?
It was several years ago but I have shipped shotguns and rifles via the Post Office.
I'm going to guess that a C&R was the difference...An FFL can use the USPS for both handguns and long guns. The rest can use the USPS for long guns BUT, you still need to make sure you are doing things right. It's still a gun, not some non regulated item. Again an FFL is a great place to start with asking here.
If the case is oversized, it'll incur additional fees to the tune of $85-$100 each way. I think the case has to be 62" total which is calculated by adding the length, height and width. My case went over that number by several inches.Why aren't you locking it in your checked luggage? Just curious, when hubby went to New Mexico he packed and the locked gun case in luggage and declared it to the airline. Both ways from SeaTac.
