Damn that UPS

Sold a rifle here on GB few weeks ago. I received the payment last week and the check cleared today so I took it down to UPS to ship to the buyers FFL. Had the dealers name on the box along with the buyers name so the dealer would know upon receipt. The UPS broad asks me if the name on the box is correct and do I have a copy of the dealers FFL to show her. The she asks is it being sent to have it repaired or have custom work done on it? I said no I sold it to some one and that I was sending it to the dealer so the buyer could pick it up from him. She says to me we can't do that. You can only ship a rifle to a dealer to have it worked on. I said to myself you gotta be (PROFANITY EDIT by nunn) kidding me. After a few seconds of brain fade she says that will be $36.00. Has this happened to any of you?? I just wish all these UPS and Fed/ex people could get on the same track.

My uncle has sent a few rifles that broke during shipping, and UPS would not take responsibility for them![:(!]

If you use the Post office to ship your long guns do you tell them so and what method of shipping do you use priority mail or parcel post???
Ups Gorillas have broken the stocks on the last 3 guns every one the buttplate and toe was broken over 3 months ago still fighting with them
Try packing them up properly.
Have sent plenty of guns overhere, both within Greenland - and to Denmark and Germany.
None have been mishandled... One was handled rough, according to the receiver, but due to proper packing.. nothing happened to it.
I used the UPS Store for shipping long guns with no problems. This is in Arkansas.
