*IMPORTANT ALERT*
STOP GETTING RIPPED OFF EVERY TIME YOU GET A WEAPON SHIPPED

I am so sick and tired of hearing about people that are forced to pay high rates in shipping a weapon interstate or intrastate. Forcing to have people use FedEx or UPS with their anti-gun shipping rates for overnight is wrong. If you are getting a weapon from dealer to dealer, from a dealer to a gunsmith or manufacturer or any combination thereof here is what you can do to save money and be within the law.

Have them send the weapon through the post office in a flat rate box. The boxes cost nothing and are readily available from the post office. Have them insure the shipping box for the value of the weapon and also request the purchase of a confirmation receipt. If the item will not fit in a flat rate box then have them put the weapon in one of their two day priority boxes or supply your own box and ship it two day priority mail. You will not believe the shipping money you will save.

If you are dealing with a dealer, gunsmith, or manufacturer who insists that it is the law that such weapons are to be sent overnight via UPS or FedEx tell them to brush up on the laws because they don't know what the hell they are talking about. There is no law in place that states one must send a handgun or any other weaponry overnight, much less through UPS or FedEx. At this point instead of you being charged anywhere from $35 on up you will be paying approximately $8.75 or thereabouts depending on how much insurance will cost but you will never get near the outrageous rates of FedEx or UPS. Do you remember folks that UPS and FedEx a couple of years ago decided that they were not going to accept weapons any more. Then we made a major complaint about their new practices that they wanted to initiate so they backed off. So they did the next best thing they raised their rates and specified that weapons (handguns) had to go overnight express. Don't use them they are anti-gun pieces of crap.

Now for regular people who want to send their gun via the post office we are not allowed to because it is against the law. The frame or receiver is considered the gun so if you are thinking "well I just take out the barrel and that will be fine" no they got that covered so you have to use a dealer or someone who is "authorized" to ship a weapon. God Bless the powers to be I wonder if the bad guys give a royal hoot about the law. As far as I am concerned this BS about who can and cannot send through the mail is just another way a tyrannical government can keep the civilian population under their thumb. You take it from here. If you have any questions or you need to just blow off some steam give me a call, Neal.
