Damn UPS wanted $85 to ship a gun to Texas for me. I sold it locally.

I've been told that FedEx will ship guns at a half way reasonable
rate.


This is where UPS got me:

"Handguns, as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 921, will be accepted for transportation only
via UPS Next Day Air Services, specifically, UPS Next Day Air® Early A.M.®, UPS Next
Day Air®, and UPS Next Day Air Saver®"

That 'next day air' **** is what gets expensive.

I looked at the Fedex site but could find no such requirement. Next time I'll know
better.


Hmmm. Volquartsen sent the serial numbered receiver portion of my pistol
back to me via "Two Day Air." That was the "handgun" part.
