    No, you can ship your firearm directly to a manufacturer for repairs, but you have to use FED X or UPS overnight for a handgun, a long gun can go thru the USPS. The manufacturer can return ship the firearm directly to you at your residence.

    UPS WORKS. JUST BUY ENOUGH INSURANCE.

    One more thing, when shipping a gun back to a manufacturer for repair, never put the comppany name (indicating the contents is a firearm) on the shipping label. For instance, when I ship a gun to Smith & Wesson, I address the shipping label: Service Dept, 2100 Roosevelt Ave, Springfield MA, or to Colt: CMCI, Talcott Rd, Hartfod Ct. It lessens the chance that a thief will spot the package as a gun and make off with it.

    Technically, the Brady Law requires that no identification as to a firearm be on the outside of the package. For instance, Navy Arms ships "NA Corp". The Brady Law also makes the theft of a firearm from an FFL a federal offense.
