Well, then somebody may be playing some pricing games...
Which is also common for large companies.

Most of them have the attitiude that we have no choice
but to use their services. Hopefully there is competition
that helps keeps pricing reasonable.

They probably have a special commercial account with UPS where they were
given special pricing due to their high volume so FedEx won't get the account.

Pretty common...

I'm sure if you start shipping several thousand boxes per month,
they could set you up with a similar pricing plan

They aren't doing any domestic shipping anymore in the US, except for a few commercial customers

Apparently, Bush & Cheney caused their company to get hit hard and have to shut down most of their US opertions...
At least that's what the libs are sayin 'bout it

Everything except the constitution.

Typical congressman coming back from

Ah ha! Looks like Congress overlooked something after all...

What if you aren't a CHL guy...can you still ship it through a gun shop?
(I'm guessing the answer is gonna be no!)

Well, I guess those poo-poo heads just thought of everything

Next best thing is ship it UPS anyway and get insurance from some
other source other than the insurance UPS offers so the replacement
cost of the piece can be covered if UPS loses it, which is rare.

It's easy to get your own UPS account so you can setup and pay
for your own shipments and put the shipping label on the box
yourself without asking yourself what's inside (you already know)

Then, drop it off at your nearest Staples or any authorized UPS
center, or even your nearest UPS hub.

Wouldn't think there would be anything illegal about this, is there?

No problem...when figuring out what you want for the gun, just add about
$100 for shipping, and then tell 'em up front you are shipping it ground!

This is just one of the costs of doing business and can easily be put
in the overall cost of what you are selling.

I ship stuff through my own UPS account all the time and they never ask
what's being shipped. The only time they've ever asked me this is if they
lose a package and I make a claim on the insurance I bought.

It'd be interesting to know what their policy is on this...maybe the
gun could be taken apart and shipped in two separate boxes, that
way you aren't actually shipping a gun...just gun parts!

Maybe that would work.
