BIG -1 for "The UPS Store"

[BPTactical]

So I went to the UPS Store @ 120th and Colorado to ship out a stock back to the manufacturer. I needed a box for it and the twit behind the counter asks:
"Is that a firearm"
"No-it is a chunk of plastic"
"Does it go to a firearm"
"It could if you put an action in it"
"We can't ship it, I can sell you the box and packing material but you will have to go to the hub @ 53rd and Dahlia to ship it."
??? WTF ???
Apparently "The UPS Store" changed its policy and will not even ship firearm related components. I asked the twit what if it was a scope that I was shipping. His reply: "Well if it can go to a firearm regardless of what it is we can't ship it."
I asked him what if I need to ship a box of screws-same answer-if it can go on a firearm they won't ship it.
I happen to know the owner of this branch (wife used to manage the UPS store that was @ 120th @ Washington) and I was able to verify with him.
True fact, "The UPS Store" chain will not ship ANY firearm related items.
I went to "Mailbox Express" who deals with FedEx @ 104th and Colorado and no problem, they will even ship firearms from individuals. Ken and Maria own the place-good people and really easy to work with. +1 for these folks.

Guess who will be seeing my shipping business?

Big -1 for UPS in any way, shape or form.

UPS is anti-gun. I never use UPS. Always use Fedex.

good heads up

FYI- I ship UPS daily. Prices for forum members are my actual cost(way below UPS' online rates) +$2 per box. I ain't gonna ask what's in it, as long as it's legal. UPS Corporate could give a rat's ass if it's "firearm related", this is bullsh!t made up(probably on the spot) by the brain donor you were dealing with.

That's good to know. Last time I shipped from a UPS store I shipped 500 rounds of ammo but I wrote down the description as brass because they didn't know if I could ship ammo.

I have been switching from UPS whenever I can. I wish FED Ex would get their prices closer to UPS though.

The UPS Store are all independently owned, and just a franchise that uses the UPS name.

I shipped what was obviously a gun case at the local store, and the gal behind the counter gladly helped me pack and ship it.

I have shipped two rifles with the UPS store on Hampton and Logan. I bring a copy of the FFL just to show them the address matches the FFL. They have no problem and never asked for this, I just do it. The never interagated me on what I was shipping. Once I was sending out a stripped rifle for some work and insured it. I called it a "barreled receiver".

I tried to ship at a different one in Lakewood and they told me the same thing about going to the main hub.

I had a mixed experience.

I had to ship an M1A to SA to have it checked out. I had some fucker at a local FedEx store gloat that he wouldn't ship guns even though FedEx allows it. He started to go off so I hung up on the bastard.

Then I went to the UPS store and got it boxed up, they were helpful and weren't scared of a gun in it's case. Afterward I went to the other FedEX store and shipped it since UPS wouldn't ship it even though they wanted too.

I don't like UPS because of 2 things. 1st they are union, 2nd they cost more then FedEx
