UPS people and their bias

toadtown

Interesting ... I sold some collector ammo on GunBroker.com; the first time I have ever sold ammo and most likely the last.
The bias in our culture has seeped into UPS. I called the local UPS store and was told ammo has to go FFL to FFL. Obviously the guy who owns the store does not know the law or hates guns, you choose.
I called the main UPS number and got a lady who speaks English pretty well, considering the thickness of her accent. After she got the particulars of the package and its destination she put me on hold while she checked something; she came back with Next Day Air for almost $200! Her supervisor was "too busy" to talk to me, she said. I kept after her and read her the requirements from the UPS website. Finally she said, "well I made a mistake. I thought it was going to the Caribbean"! Likely story. Then I got the Ground rate.
Amazing how political anti gun bias will cause even company bureaucrats to lie.

David: Before using any carrier to ship guns or ammo, it is important that you read their tariff (rules). UPS Stores are independently owned & operated, & are not permitted to accept guns or ammo. You must take guns or ammo to a UPS "hub", or schedule a pickup.

Ricci: I'm sure that I would heartily support what you said, if only I knew what you are talking about.

USPS is the same way. I copied their firearms rules and brought them with me. They argued right up until I showed them the rules. Now I tell them its "boat parts" and it sails right through.

Why tell them it's ammo in the first place? No more required "ORM" stickers on the package, right?

No is the easy answer



especially when dealing with the people you were dealing with.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

I have found discrete civil disobedience works well in nearly every situation involving a firearm or ammunition.

When I ship ammo I do it on the UPS website and then just drop it off at their shipping center. Never had a problem. Everything is there on line calling them was your first mistake. Every time you call them you get a different person and none of them know what their talking about.
