I tried to ship some firearms today, as I am sending them to the manufacturer to have some repairs made. The clerk at the UPS store on Town Center Blvd in Orlando told us that it was illegal to ship forearms. The manufacturer (SIGARMS in New Hampshire) told us they had to go to them either UPS overnight, or FEDEX. I will have to ship them FEDEX from now on.

I have shipped firearms in the past by UPS, so I know it can be done. Has UPS policy chabged? Perhaps either a notification of the new policy, or some training for your employees?

Re: Shipping difficulties by inanna68 Posted Thu September 14, 2006 @ 12:46 PM The UPS Store isn't allowed to ship firearms. If you had taken them directly to the UPS customer center they could have helpded you.

I would agree! I wouldn't want to handle a box full of FOREARMS!!!
