Today in Texas I tried to mail an AR bolt to Shillen for head spacing on a new AR barrel. The clerk at the local UPS store saw the address as Shillen Rifles and told me that due to their contract with UPS they will not ship anything that is part of a gun or goes on a gun. To do that I would have to go to the local UPS regional center; a trip of 20 miles each way. I got the impression they would not mail anything to Shillen. They also would not send it by USPS either. I have never had this happen before. Has anyone else come across this? Are these folks becoming "woke"?

Yeah the UPS Stores have been doing that for a while. I just tell them it's machine parts instead of gun parts. The main UPS hub will ship guns. But the UPS Stores won't.

Preprint the label and drop it into the touch less box.

This.

I shipped a gun UPS. Address said "Volquartsen" and I left off "firearms" and handed it to a passing driver. No issue.

Honestly you need to be more clever with addresses. Even at central hubs I still ran into Anti Employees who did not know their policies.
-The UPS store is completely anti. Play stupid/lie. If it's a red dot/scope, tell them it's for a telescope. Machineparts, etc.
-Don't declare it as a firearm, ATF FAQ is wrong.
-Abbreviate stuff like Gunworks/Riflesworks/Firearms/Etc.

Like for C.W. Gunwerkz I just put "C.W. G.Werkz"

My local ups store in Easter NC has been like that for years . It’s not so much ups because ups store are personally owned and the owners can be dicks . They ask what I’m shipping every time which I feel is a huge personal violation so I fuck with them . Last time I told them it was a car part but  that wasn’t good enough so they asked what kind of car part I told them a left handed smoke shifter lol the guy behind me was doing the same thing and gave a chuckle .ps always abbreviate  names when shipping I don’t trust sum liberal ass messing with my package because it says arms , rifle , gun etc

It's UPS stores, I posted a couple months ago that when they saw I was shipping to Aimpoint
they refused to ship. The store called their franchise corporate office and they actually pulled
up Aimpoint's web page and said no, in spite of the fact that a scope isn't a firearm part.

Huge PITA. I was trying to do a RMA return and I still have the scope because I haven't been
able to drive to a post office to do it.

I had to send something to Volquartsen Firearms. I simply left off Firearms.

Pretty sure it goes to the same place.

Don’t use the ups store. They’ve been this way for as long as I remember. They aren’t ups they are a contractor for ups.
