Hey there.
what are the rules and regs for shipping firearms to yourself? What carrier(s)? Long Arms or Side Arms? Etc... |
|
Make sure you know the shipper's rules, and have copies of them with you. Because odds are that the counter-monkey won't know their own rules.
I recently shipped a gun FedEx. It's one that I had sold and it was going to a dealer. They insisted that they see a copy of an FFL before they would accept it for shipment. Fortunately the dealer had sent me a hard copy. I don't know if a printout of the FFL EZ-Check would have satisfied them if I didn't have a copy of the actual license. Another time, I tried to ship a semi-auto AK to myself so I didn't have to take it on a plane with me. UPS insisted on opening it (after I dropped it off and left), and then called me to come back because of a "problem". I sent it through the post office, and they returned it as they "don't ship machine guns". I finally just took the gun on the plane in my checked luggage and had no problems. |

handguns are nearly impossible.
people at gunbroker uses priority mail and take chances that the package will not be inspected. You really don't want to send or receive a handgun.... all that trouble if they find out. so, for hand guns its SOL. WHY is handguns so hard to ship. it is sooo stupid. |
