Can I ship a rifle to a ffl in another state

[Big Browns]

I was told I can ship a rifle or shotgun using ups ground to a ffl in another state. Is that true?

Are you transferring(selling)the firearm to another person?

[AverageJoe]

Yes you can...or if worried just go to quentin defense in gilbert and they will do it for $20. That is what i do now for all outgoing ffl transfers

[wildwoody]

Yes

Adam, you can ship it yourself or take it to an FFL Holder and have them do it. If you box it and take it to UPS you need to have the FFL Holder you are shipping it to send you a signed copy of their FFL.

They can scan it and email it to you, just print it out and take it to a UPS Hub with you. I'm not sure if a UPS Store can also do it as I just go to the Hub in Tempe.

You can go to Gun Broker and get a list of FFL Holders by State/City. Just contact one and let er rip.

The UPS store will not do it if they know it is a firearm.

 

Fed ex is another good one.

 

Side note, I believe you are NOT required to state that it is a firearm.

If you are selling or shipping it for transfer to someone else, it's a good idea to ask for a copy of the recipient's FFL or, alternately, ask for the first three and the last five numbers of their FFL and use BATF's E-ZChek to confirm that they have a current FFL. FedEx and UPS pretty much require that you ship a firearm from one of their customer terminals. You can no longer ship from your home or a "pickup" site. Most of the "UPS Stores" (which are franchises, not UPS-owned) will no longer ship firearms, either. You have to go to a UPS terminal. A handgun cannot be shipped via ground--it has to go first or second day air. The post office will ship a long gun, usually cheaper than UPS, but handguns have to be mailed FFL to FFL. I always include a short letter to the recipient, a copy of the recipient's FFL (or a screen print from BATF's E-ZChek) and a copy of my driver's license for his/her books. If the address label mysteriously goes missing or is rendered unreadable, the people who look for lost firearms after you submit a claim can figure out who sent it and where it is supposed to go when they open the package. Unfortunately, it seems like UPS and FedEx change their policies every few weeks these days, so a call to customer service may save some time. (Make sure that you get connected with someone who KNOWS the current policies.)

 

FWIW, after my last rodeo with UPS last summer, I no longer ship firearms through them. YMMV.
