At first they said I had to be a dealer to ship it. Once I convinced them that it was ok since I was shipping it to glock, they insisted it had to be shipped priority overnite. Now I understand the overnite thing but does it really have to be there by 10:30?
Just another scheme to take another few bucks.
Q: May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by common or contract carrier?
A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by a common or contract carrier to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm.
