I'm going to go to Fed Ex next time to see if it's cheaper. Which will be soon, I have to send a KelTec P3AT back. I've tried all the tricks and I still cannot get it to work consistantly.ghentry wrote:$65... Ouch!
I sure hope I don't have to spend that much to get it fixed.

I just sent a 1911 back to Springfield and had to take it to the UPS hub. The UPS stores would not ship it.
I am sure that I could have gotten away with shipping it ground and "technically" declaring it.
When I took it into the hub the young lady behind the counter had me go to a self service computer and fill out all the shipping information. On the computer I put the description of the contects as a firearm. After I was done putting everything into the computer I took the box to her and she asked me how I wanted to ship it, ground or a faster delivery method. I told her it was a firearm. She asked me again how I wanted to ship it and I answered that it is a firearm and I was under the impression that it had to go overnight. She just gave me a blank look and put it into her system for overnight.
My thoughts are that technically once I put that it was a firearm in the computer system, I had declared it as such. And if she would have followed through with shipping it ground it would have been on UPS to prove that I had not declared it.
I know that this doesn’t answer your question but it was something that happened to me very recently that I thought I would share.
btw - Springield said that they would reimburse me for the shipping cost so I wasn't worried that it was $65 to ship overnight.
