I recently sold some ammunition and called UPS to inquire about their procedure. I have an account with them. I was told that they only do pick up on those items. They didn't tell me that they charge $35.00 for a pick up. I found it added to my statement. Are we sure pickup is $35? I googled it and results were a lot less?...Tom I paid $26 Monday for just the pick up, plus the actual freight...........

So I shipped my first package with them today after the new rules took affect. I can't wrap my head around what they are accomplishing by doing it this way. They still took my package but came to my house to get it rather than me being able to drop it off there. I am not sure what that solves. Can someone post a link to the new rules?

Sounds like it's going to be a need to know basis from now on, and they don't need to know

They are probably trying to reduce the amount of theft that goes on at their hubs. When they catch a thief, they have to fire them and it is too hard to replace the scumbag. So they try to remove the opportunity. Jerry

Phil The way the manufacturer did: take down the gun into a barrel set and the stocked receiver.

I find it odd that UPS rules say there can't be anything on the outside indicating a firearm but the sender has to tell the driver a package contains a firearm at the scheduled pick up. That won't lead to theft...

Have you gone through your entire life being afraid? I hope they lose one of your guns like they did mine! I spent years customizing the Ruger Blackhawk to my likes. If the gunsmith had followed UPS rules there's a great chance it would not have been lost. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/17495744/bolo-lost-stolen-gunsOh yeah, one other thing too, GFY!

No hand gun shipping through the USPS though USPS is an option for long guns but more expensive. Most that I have shipped UPS were around $35.
