I know with a UPS vip or whatever they call it, (free sign up on their site) you can schedule delivery times, change addresses, or hold for pickup at a hub

In theory yes. In practice there are some distributors who will only ship to your premises address.
Also if you are active duty, are you likely to be deployed? |

Is it viable? I'm active duty military and I'm contemplating getting my FFL. Would it be possible to use a UPS store as I can't be home during typical delivery hours? I'm a teacher and have used my UPS Store to receive firearms for the last six years. Best thing I've ever done. Only a few distributors will not ship to an address other than the premises address............so I buy relatively little from them. |

what dogtown said. That has served me in the 4.5 years of my FFL. For companies that won't deliver to other than my premises (my house), i try to get the package held at the UPS depot for pick up. Some suppliers have screwed up stuff so bad with UPS that their deliveries can't be held at the depot.so I just have to try to catch them when they deliver.

So how would I use a UPS address when filling out the FFL paperwork? Dont they require you to use the premises address for shipping? I am still waiting on my LLC to be formed before I can file.

Your premises address is your premises address. List your shipping address where it asks for "mailing address". Then once you get your FFL, scan it and make a notation to only ship to the mailing address. No Federal law or ATF regulation requires shipping only to the premises, in fact you can lawfully receive firearm shipments at any address you want.

Do I need a P.O.Box or just use the actual UPS Store address?

The box you rent at a UPS Store will allow you to receive shipments from any carrier. Your address would read: Jojo4711 Tactical Armory 1234 Some Rd. Suite 1234 Box#2345 Wherever, TX Depending on your UPS Store location they may or may not have a suite#. They will assign you a box#. |

Be careful here. As an FFL you can receive a firearm from multiple locations.
You run into problems with transfering that firearm off of your books. That can ONLY be done from your license address. As long as you follow this you are gtg. edit: Fun shows as well. Thanks for the correction Dog. |

A licensee can conduct business from his premises OR a gun show/special event. And that isn't what is being discussed in this thread.

My point is that care should be taken when filing to not put the UPS store address on his application. |

The UPS store in Wytheville, VA will not do any business with any firearms, even parts or muzzleloader parts. I tried to send a muzzleloader barrel to a barrel maker, and they wanted no part of my business. They are anti gun. Operated by Wyhteville Office Supply.
