Shpping Out of State

[9secondsflat]

Holy, cow..your going to ship a rifle to someone in CT...why??? with your attitude toward my post you made it seem as if only people in CO can frequent this forum

[mx'r]

the sign at the ups distribution center, said no firearms can be shipped. at their website it said this is where you could ship it. it was the actual UPS run building where the trucks are parked and all. it was packed up and there was a long line of people and I didnt want to have a fight over it.

This is what I always run into. Nobody wants to ship it.

Have your tried FedEx? I use the depot off of Havana and they are civilized. They actually seem to be pleased to take money from me, even when I walk in with Uline rifle boxes.

Err, "Postal Money Orders" Who in the hell uses those anymore? I haven't used a PMO since the 80's. I know some people hate them but even PayPal offers a shit load more protection. How about a bank draft/check? I have a copy of my dealers FFL (up in Highlands Ranch) if I were a crook I could forge that to look like it was my FFL. Just sayin man, that is a BIG oh shit moment. Could be 99% real, but 1%? Ya know what I mean? BTW I get offers on craigslist asking if they could send me a PMO etc, etc, etc. One of the biggest scams on CL.

And why "2 postal Money Orders"? One is not good enough? Over 1000 bucks? Just asking? I got ripped off by a good friend last year so I'm a little bit suspicious of everybody now a days. Sorry

Sorry I didn't know about PayPal's policy's (that's a mouth full). I'm just saying with a reputable dealer I would think they would have a better way to pay. As my wife would say "I'm probably wrong". I'm not endorsing them but gunbroker.com uses a escrow site for purchases (if you choose). My only dealings with out of state is buying not selling. The last thing I would want is to have to go to my local LEO and tell them what happened. And, yes, I'm new to THIS board. Hi

Tell paypal that you are using them for the sale and or transfer of a firearm.
Let it come out in a dispute.
Accounts have been locked and seized for years.


PMO


Just my 2 cents

Ding, schools out. I didn't know. Thanks. Presumably, gun sales are keeping the post office in business

USPS money order is good to go.
tell him you will hold the rifle until the cash. I have seen fake ones before and that procedure has saved me a hell of a lot of work and headache.
he would need to send 2 if it is over $1000, as that is the max allowed per USPS.

he needs to send a signed copy of his FFL. I would verify it with ATF as well.

USPS will ship rifles. fedex and UPS will also ship firearms. have copy of the FFL you are sending it to so they can verify the address.

other than that I think you should be good to go.

I would insure it as well (have him pay for it) or make the disclaimer that you aren't responsible if they lose it and it isn't insured.
