Can long guns be shipped by USPS


Recommended Posts

Can a rifle or shotgun be shipped USPS, or is UPS the only way to ship? It will be shipped to an FFL and I have the signed ffl .

It will also be shipped INTRASTATE(if that matters)

Please let me know

 

Thanks alot

Yes, Here is the link. Look for Section 11, Other Restricted and Nonmailable Matter. There is some discussion there about it.

I'd check, last I knew the only way they'd ship for us citizens is if you mail it overnight which might be pricy...

I've only shipped handguns before and they had to go overnight. I didn't think FedEx took them from consumers any more though they handle Ruger's shipments back to customers.

When I got the shotgun it was sent UPS ground last week ,my guess is it is ok to send long guns ground but not sure. I will call ups tomorrow and also the usps.

 

Thanks

Yes they will. Put insurance and delivery confirmation (at least) on it and don't ship any ammo with it. Also do not write any gun words on the outside of the box, it is against their rules. You cannot ship a handgun USPS but a longarm is fine. A regular citizen can ship a handgun UPS but it must go to a manufacturer.

I already sent it USPS but it is a long gun. I sent for adult signature and heavily insured....No label or any reference that it is a gun...

 

Thanks everyone I appreciate the help!!
