It is legal for any gun owner to ship his gun to a licensed FFL holder for the purpose of repair or alteration. The exact legal considerations, though, can sometimes overwhelm you. I will try to shed a little light on these regs for you. NOTE: First and most important -Do not include ammunition with your firearm-
* The gun should be packed securely so there will be no damage to sights, etc. The original manufacturers' box provides good protection, but any good box with the item cushioned within to prevent movement will do the job.
* Inside the box, be sure to include your name, address, daytime phone number, type of gun, serial number, and clear, complete instructions covering the work to be done. I suggest you include a sketch of the gun and mark where you want work done, especially if you are asking for something other than full coverage, such as lettering. Specify caliber, model, accessories, and special features.
* Please be sure of your desires when sending your initial order. If you want to discuss options or ideas, call or email me, prior to mailing the gun.
* The USPS does not accept handguns. A long gun can be shipped by USPS to any resident of your own state, but only to a federal licensee out of state. USPS recommends, but does not require, sending guns by registered mail, its most secure option. Packages cannot contain any markings that would identify the contents as a gun.
* UPS accepts handguns and long guns for shipment. Handguns must be sent Next Day Air. Long guns can still be sent via ground service. All guns must be sent from a UPS Customer Center. You cannot ship guns from shipping outlets, pack n' ships or at drop boxes. The package cannot be labeled as containing firearms. But should be stamped by UPS "Adult Signature Required", mandating that an adult sign for the shipment.
* FedEx accepts handguns and long guns for shipment. All shipments must be made Priority Air Overnight. Guns can be shipped at any staffed office or station that handles FedEx shipments. Do not use a drop box. The package can contain no label or marking indicating the contents is a firearm.
* Do not fail to identify to the shipper that this is a firearm. Failure to disclose the contents can result in voiding any insurance claim you may have, should the package be lost or destroyed.
Upon receipt of your gun, we will mail an ORDER CONFIRMATION. It is your responsibility to look this over and contact us if you find any discrepancies. We will allow the first change free if work has not progressed too far. Additional changes will be subject to a charge of $25.00 per instance. We strongly urge that any changes be submitted IN WRITING. Although we will discuss changes over the phone, we will not be held responsible for changes that were not requested in writing.
Return Shipping: Unless otherwise requested by the customer, all guns will be sent UPS Next Day Air. Shipping and handling charges are minimum $20 for a long gun and $25 for handguns. For other orders, shipping and handling charges are determined by the weight and value of the package.
