Can I with a C&R licence ship a C&R Hand Gun to an other C&R licence holder in an other state? I got a no from the ATF office in Philadelphia and a yes from another agent several days later.

    Need a little help here.I sold a rifle that qualifies as a C&R relic. The buyer wants me to ship it to his work address since he is not usually home to sign for it. Question, can i ship to his work address even though the address on his license is different? I don't want to violate any rules.thanks in advance. Dave

    I recently sold an item on GB'er and waited 7 days before receiving the payment. I shipped the Mid sized Priority mail box the same day I received payment. I used the address given on the GB'er sight, no other address was ever given me. The package has still not arrived and he contacted me and I told him when I shipped it and my receipt said he should have received the shipment 5-6 days ago. When he found out I had used the address on GB'er, he told me he had moved and forgot to changed his address on GB'er. He found out at his old Post Office it was being sent back to me. My question is, should he pay for me reshipping to him at his new and correct address or should I pay half or all the shipping? I want to be fair. What say ye?

    Hello,

    I was thinking of listing a few of my guns (Rifles, Inc. .257 STW, Pre-64 Model 70 .270 Win & Rem Model 600 .308) for sale and I have a question about shipping firearms. Which company is the best to use when shipping? Also, I have heard that UPS requires an FFL to ship on a sale. Is this true?

    Once again, thank you for your time!

    Can live ammo be shipped thru the post office using a flat rate shipping box?

    Can handguns be shipped thru the post office?

    My cousin needs to send a rifle back to the manufactor for a repair. Can he ship it himself or does a FFL need to ship it?

    One of my recent buyers just requested overnight shipping on a recent purchase. My local PO is closed and the online deal is confusing. So, anyone have an idea as to what it would cost to overnight a rifle from Oregon to Georgia thru the USPS? Thanks.

    I would like to sell a shotgun on gunbroker but I am worried about the shipping aspect of the sale. I have read the information on gunbroker, but still have a couple more questions I hoped you could help me with.

    If I sell the gun, Should I only sell to someone with a FFL? How do I know if they have one? Should I require that the person purchasing the gun already have a FFL location avalible for me to ship the gun too? I don't want end up in jail over something stupid!

    Thank You!
    Any advice for any aspect of the sale would be helpful!

    I am giving my nephew a rifle for his birthday. The gun is registered in my name as I bought it new. I am a KY resident and he is a FL resident. Can I just UPS the gun directly to him or must I use a FL FFL?

    I am new to gunbroker, but i was wondering, When ship a firearm to the FFL, do I need to provide the FFl with my drivers license and social security number? I shipped a firearm to a FFL and he won't release it to the buyer til I give him these, OR at least that is the story the buyer is giving me. I can understand the drivers license but the use of S.S.N. as I.D. is supose to be illegal, isn't it? I want to do the right thing, but I don't want to scamed. Thanks for the help. Eric [:D]

    I don't think that you can ship USPS Priority Express unless you use a flat rate box. But, I think UPS or FedEx could handle it.

    If you follow the link I posted, scroll down, you can calculate the price for a box of your own. Cost is based on distance, weight and size of package. You can plug in variables, get a price.
