FedEx and UPS company policies require notification so not telling them will make it very hard, if not impossible, to pursue any insurance claims if it became necessary.

My point exactly.
As long as FedEx will accept the firearms that I need to ship with a smile and are helpful in doing so, I'll tell them exactly what is in the box everytime.
My previous UPS route guy, a gun owner, told me that UPS didn't want the hassle of dealing with firearms and hence, the tighter restrictions hoping that we would go elsewhere to ship them.
When I asked him about the internal thefts he said that by making it harder for shippers and having them go to FedEx, etc., the internal thefts would stop or at least slow down.
I guess that's UPS's "pro-active" way of dealing with internal problems.
One other thing that I have found is that the understanding of UPS rules varies from depot to depot. They will argue a point even when shown their own policy in writing.
Go FedEx and eliminate the hassles of the AH's at UPS.
