Greasegunner Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 UPS and Fedex Supposedly Will not Ship NFA Items Morphy Auction House does a few Hundred NFA items a year and informed me that NFA Items have to go US Postal System I dont have doubts that they are correct since they do so many transfers I dont tell carriers what I am shipping but if something gets lost maybe insurance may not pay off if there is a violation of UPS or Fedex Rules Many of our Members ship or receive NFA items so its very Important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miacovet Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 I think it is for the best. USPS Registered mail is the way to go anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) This is a major problem. As a non-FFL I cannot ship handguns or NFA items to an out of state FFL/SOT through USPS. Handguns are not a real problem, I have an FFL who would run them through his books ship them for me but NFA items are a whole different situation. Without transferring them to him at a cost of $200 and several months additional wait he could not do this.

Just go with him to the PO You can ship NFA w/o a fll through usps. The only gotcha for the usps is the "concealable" clause. If thats a concern see line one.

Greasegunner Posted December 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) I am Still a little confused on this Morphys NFA specialists told me only machineguns not suppressors, SBRs,etc FFLs like myself need to know regarding shipping and receiving Machineguns Edited December 6, 2022 by Greasegunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dscheid NFA Investments Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 "FFLs like myself need to know regarding shipping and receiving Machineguns" Shipping a M.G is where the water gets muddy, because they (UPS, Fedex, exc) want it that way. They do not want our business because they are Anti Second A. USPS registered mail seems to be the only Safe way to ship. Just in case something goes missing, at least you stand a chance of getting any insurance to pay, but not likely from what I have seen over the last 19 years. What a shipping company does not know, is what works best for a dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chasingprecision Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 We have and have had a Fedex and UPS account for years. Our sales reps come by every 30/60 days to check in, brings us some donuts or pizza and let us know the latest shipping promotions. They never said anything about the current news on shpping changes so this past time they came by I asked them about it. They said not to worry about it, just keep on like we are doing. It's just talk to keep the others happy, they don't want to loose any shipping money to usps. We ship and insure the firearms of all types and only had minor mishaps here and there over the years.

Thumpy Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 I’m sure you can get insurance for your business to cover “lost shipping” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwana Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 Hmmm...just got a full auto delivered UPS Ground. I ship USPS registered mainly for the cheap insurance. Never differentiate between full auto or not. That's none of their business. It is a collectible firearm. Next. As FFL, I have received MANY firearms (including handguns) shipped USPS by individuals. None were sent overnight... Never had an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
