If your gun store has an account with UPS, there should be no problems. If they don't, it depends on the route driver. Some won't take firearms--the guy who runs the routes around here won't, even though company policy says it is permitted. He says it is "orders" from his supervisor. It's an 80-mile drive one-way for me to the nearest UPS terminal, so I have been shipping with USPS for the last few years.
I have actually had no trouble with USPS in the way of lost or misplaced firearms. UPS has "lost" several. They have all eventually been found, but only after they reimbursed me for the loss and turned the complaint over to one of their personnel who follows up on lost firearms claims. The hassle and loss of time is just not worth it.
