Guns and Gadgets just put up a video about this.
I’m a little worried about this as I just ordered a S&W MP9 2.0, and I’d rather not have my package destroyed and me be out $400.
Will PSA be changing providers (switch to FedEx) or has UPS contacted them saying they won’t interfere with PSA orders?
Speculation is that this has to do with the NY lawsuit (re: 80% guns and parts). JJE/PSA is not a part of that lawsuit.
On a related sidenote, two months ago I was sending an Eotech in for repairs and took it to a UPS Store for shipment. Guy asked what I was shipping and then informed me that the stores were not allowed to ship firearm accessories. Something about their license or some bs.
Ups is no better than fedex so I would suggest they charge and ship the packaging themselves correction palmettostatearmory
I currently have my dagger in transit to PSA for repair. I’m going to be ducking pissed if they “destroy” my package.
They havent said anything about PSA.
The UPS storefronts are franchised some pay for the ability to ship firearms related materials others do not. Likely would drive liability insurance costs. If you can show them it is available on Amazon they will (or at least should) ship it. Had to go the the official UPS hub in Mauldin to return some ProMag (junk) mags. I returned some other stuff at the same Simpsonville store and they gave me that same spiel you mentioned but as soon as I told (showed) them it was a warranty claim on something I purchased on Amazon but out of Amazon’s return window… no more questions. Shipped. Just an FYI.
I just carried it two blocks up to a Staples and shipped it there. They didn’t ask what it was.
It is possible that the shipping slowdown is a result of a letter sent out by five Democrat Senators. UPS was a recipient of a letter inquiring about the shipping of firearms and firearm components. Here’s a breakdown of the situation and it is terrifying.
Hope UPS gets sued into oblivion if it starts destroying legal products.
They will.
Lol thats a lie
Ups sucks i hope they have a massive layoff and rehire normal people like they would have in 2019.
I shipped a gun through dollar general for repair. Fedex take anything. Honey badger dont give a crap
I can tell you as an FFL, the few times I have used UPS for shipping a gun, they don’t have many checks/balances to determine what’s being shipped.
It relies on the honor system; just like all gun laws.
I always say “machine parts” or “crafting supplies”. I smile a little and can only imagine what’s going on their head when they think this big bearded dude is shipping glitter or hot glue sticks.
Keep this mind when purchasing from any mail order company when you get to the part where you choose the shipping method. I’ll pay a buck or two extra to use someone else.
Brownell’s also got notice that their account with UPS had been cancelled. Since I just ordered a Dagger on Friday, I’ll be calling on Tuesday to discuss other shipping options.
Typically I don’t pick UPS. I usually go with Fedex or someone else, but at the checkout UPS was my only option
JJE/PSA was not a part of the NY Lawsuit. Every company that is having issues with UPS was a part of the lawsuit.
