Hehehe....I almost came over to see you guys.
The troubles I had with UPS(sucks) and the prices FedEx was quoting I was thinking it would be cheaper for me to drive it over the hill.
UPS won't ship a gun from an individual unless it's going to the manufacturer.
Not even to a licensed dealer or gunsmith.
FedEx has a company policy that all firearms go overnight. I was quoted $69 for delivery the next morning. There was a couple other prices and things but I was already envisioning a roadtrip this weekend. Got a price of $39 with next afternoon delivery and said okay.
This morn. when the driver showed up, no warehouse where I live so no customer service window - have to do driver pickup, she asked about what delivery I wanted. Couldn't remember what the gal on the phone said and said so but I knew it was $39. Driver calls her superviser and found an overnight w/afternoon delivery for $24+change.
BTW, the gal on the phone was real nice and helpful. I'll do more FedEx from now on.
