Shipikng a pistol for waranty service

DavidMS · Dec 19, 2014

Earlier this week, my FNS-9's front sight dot was ejected under recoil. I called FN and found out that all I need to do is take it to a UPS Depot (boxed up) and have UPS ship it to FNH. Do I need to do anything specific because of Maryland Law?

No.

Just be there to sign for it when it comes home again.

I had to ship a handgun back to S&W for warranty work. They sent me a mailing label and all I had to do was inform the clerk at the UPS office that there was a firearm in the package. Some of their offices do not have the capability to store firearms securely.

Just make sure you don't include any of the magazines if > 10 rounds.

Declare to the shipper the box contains a firearm. No stickers on the outside indicating contents. Should be shipped next day air according to carrier policy.

I had to send a Ruger handgun back to them once. Ruger sent me a shipping label. I had it boxed up and ready to go. I stopped at my local FFL on my way to UPS. As I was leaving there the UPS driver showed up to make a delivery. I gave it to the UPS driver and he had no problem at all with that.

Thank you all for the advice

I will ship it off via UPS following the instructions provided by FNH.

Just out of curiosity, is FNH covering the shipping cost? S&W and Ruger have both covered mine when I needed them.

If it was just the front sight dot, you should be able to remove the slide and just ship that back. You can send just the slide by USPS in a small flat rate box insured for next to nothing. The whole gun by UPS will be ~$70 or more. Might want to ask FNH if that's an option....they don't NEED the whole gun.

Not an issue. They will ship back. You owned them before, they can't send you to jail for receiving your own property back.

I don't believe that FN covers shipping

Unfortunately, FN does not cover shipping to them. They do cover return shipping as I understand it.

That sucks.
I have a Stoeger shotgun that needed to be sent back and they sent me a prepaid label for shipping
I think I'd look into just sending the slide, as was mentioned

If it's a warranty issue they should send a shipping label or it will cost $70 or more.. If not, that's lousy customer service.. As mentioned they shoul just need the slide.

I took a S&W back to where I bought and he took care of the shipping and receiving for me. All I had to do was pick it back up when it was returned.
