I have sold over 400 guns on G-broker. When shipping in a small box I would NOT list the addressee as " Williams Gun Sight" or similar. I ALWAYS Shipped with something like "Williams G.S.. Company"


More with UPS or Fed Ex, but even with USPS  things in small boxes with gun addresses seem to get 'side tracked' more often.

My local UPS store will not accept anything firearm related, at all.  Even optics are on their list of stuff they will not handle.  Had to take my EOTech sight to USPS for them to ship back.

However I have shipped 'car parts', 'radio equipment' and 'machine tool parts' from that location without too much trouble :)

That is a change in policy from UPS; they used to ship overnight without a problem.

UPS proper takes firearms.  The UPS Store is a private run enterprise and can't meet the protocol that UPS requires.

I recently shipped a rifle insured for $8000.  The Clerk at UPS put a piece of red tape on the box and I asked what that was for.  She said that reminds me to take it to my Supervisor's office so she can move it on in the system.

Yeah I know. I've used the hub to ship firearms all over the US, but it's a 45 minute drive to get to it.

However the leftists at my local store are a weird bunch and I have to use a bit of deception if I want to ship from them. 

Problem is they are cheap and convenient so I've learned my lesson about telling them what is actually in the box.
