Agreed, but Pinecone said you can't ship ammo through a Fed Ex store. That was the point of my post on the tariff. It's not prohibited..
But you said your gun is a machine part. You didn't say a barrel and a bolt are a machine part, which I agree with. Your gun is a firearm and should be declared to the shipper.
Or not.

No, the gun parts are machine parts. The gun is a machine. He's not shipping the machine, just parts of it that aren't regulated. When I receive gun parts from manufacturers and resellers, the bill of shipping often says machine parts, so I'm not just saying it without background.
Understood. But I thought you said your GUN is a machine part. It's not. To Fed Ex and UPS it's a gun.
ok.
your gun parts are machine parts. Your gun is not.
that was my point. You are correct in your post.

It would never arrive at it's destination. Either the male workers would be absconding with it or the female workers grabbing it for their husbands/boyfriends.

If it's just parts, that'd be good. If it's a firearm, Fed Ex, UPS and the Feds say it must be declared.
Or not.

And what do you do if they say no, you have to go to a service center? Demand they ship it?
I am just relaying what happened on Monday to me.
Attempt to educate them. If not, then I guess you're stuck. But it's officially allowed by the tariff rules.
The store in Rockville had no issues. declared it, off it went.

The Frederick FedEx Office store will not ship ammo. They say they are not licensed for that & that I would need to take it to a fedex depot/warehouse or whatever their place is called in Hagerstown, or I could have fedex pick it up from my house. I went home, created a fedex account online & they picked it up the next day. Turned out to be easier. Their place, their rules. I didn't think it was smart to argue with someone that they MUST take something (of value) when they didn't want to. What better way to ensure it absolutely, positively WON'T get there overnight?
Point taken. I guess the answer is it depends where you go.

Pretty sad we have a 2 page thread on how to mail gun parts.

Really. Why would you declare anything??? Ever??? Just make sure the insurance will cover the loss.
Try and collect from the carrier when you get caught lying about the contents of the shipment and it gets stolen.
Not to mention Federal law requires it be declared to the carrier.

This.
I've always thought I'd end up being the one used as a poster case for mail fraud, which IS a federal offense, and not likely to be swept under the rug. Just easier to do it the way the regs dictate, then deal with the consequences. Definitely NOT the case where it's easier to apologize later than ask permission up front.
