I do not know if you are aware that UPS and FedEx have gone woke. An individual can no longer ship firearms or firearms parts with UPS or FedEx. Only FFL holders can ship from one FFL holder to another FFL holder. If you need to ship rifles or firearms parts use US Postal Service. Unfortunately, you cannot ship a pistol by US Postal Service. I thought I would let you know this as several of our customers have got into arguments with FedEx and UPS shipping facilities by not understanding their new policy on firearms and firearm parts.

The current FedEx firearm shipping policy is similar to UPS’ new policy. The FedEx policy reads: Only customers holding a Federal Firearms License (FFL) and federal, state, or local government agencies may ship firearms with FedEx.
