Could not find the orioginal questions/post, but I did write to Fed Ex and heres the synopsis of the reply on 11 30 23 Must be an FFL holder, Must enter into an approved firearm shipper Compliance Agreement with a signed contract on file with Fed Ex. start with contacting kavon.whiting@fedex.com. Delared value limitations are found in the "Fed Ex Service Guide" (I didn't make that up!) Generally,. limitations are the same as non firearms shipments HOWEVER exceptions may be made on collectible or antique firearms as outlined in the "Service Guide" So the clear cut answer is a bit elusive to say the least. Howeer, I suggest just jumpng through hoops to avoid some technical denial of a claim. | ||

Just an update: I've received a four page document full of leagileeze. Might have been a bad call. "areeement" does not alllow a licensee to ship a firearm BACK to it's owner unless he is also a licensee. Where do they get this shit? I'm agrguing that point,,,the rest is all FEX EX CYA Latest: Fed Ex attached an adendum allowing shipment to non licnsees under the circmstances of simply "returning to owner" | |||

Hey Duane, Instead of dealing with and relying on the carriers to pay-out a claim I had Corvens add an "In-transit" coverage to my insurance policy. It's a maximum of $20k per item shipped. I've never had to make a claim, but I'm hoping that it's going to be a better experience than dealing with any of the major carriers who I have had claims with before, with varying degrees of frustrations. | |||

I've only had one claim in my life. It was through the post office and they paid up no problems. I am curious though.Has anyone ever had insurance claims problems with USPS? Roger Kehr Kehr Engraving Company (360)456-0831 | |||

Only one time: I sent two boxes of solid bases to a guy in LA and they never arrived. They got stuck at a hub that apparently was shut down and never seemed to clear the distribution center. I did the noble thing and reimburse the guy his money back. And Roger, thank you for the work you did on the 7 Mauser for me. It looks great! You and your wife were a pleasure to deal with. | |||

I have had one UPS claim and one USPS one; both were paid, and these were both 10 years ago. But, you must have a receipt proving what the items were worth. They will not just take your word or what they were insured for. Now of course, UPS totally changed their rules and individuals can't ship firearms and neither can dealers unless they are registered with UPS. | |||

Ahhh.."registered" that word will soon become a noun! And the morons are going to be befuddled why there are still drive by's..The answer? ..more stupid rules begat by morons. The lack of certain punishment is allowed by a moron judicary so the above mentioned morons can jusify more restrictions A daisy chain! | |||

Just an update for information only: I went through the process (more like ordeal) so I can have the blessing of shipping firearms with Fed Ex. First try was a four page document full is legaleeeez bullshit . Made the mistake of asking a question: Now I was presented with a FIVE page document with bullshit.... just piled higher. Took a month and I have to use only one account for firearms shipments. Anything else requires a different account ! There are some points that I'm still waiting to clear up (type of box, drop offs..etc). Wonder if this is the only such document in existence? | |||

Maybe you just need to make it a requirement that your customers pick up their rifle in person. With all the money they save on shipping you could require them to take you out for a nice steak dinner, if they still allow you to eat steak out there. Won't be long and those of us over here on this side of the country won't be able to have guns anyway. John | |||

Back when I had a little shop in Lewis County, Washington, the USPS broke the toe off of a Winchester 42. It was a moderately easy fix, but I paid the insurance, so I wanted them to take responsibility. They couldn't figure out how to pay to fix it, so they decided they'd pay like it was lost and gave me a check for full value. Since it was small town, the post master came to the shop to 'collect the broken item'. I told him sure, as soon as you fill out a 4473. He refused, I kept the 42. | |||

Today I only use USPS, a tad more expensive on the insurance, but its no hassel and the best sources for the non FFL holder..No questions asked except is it explosive..read the rules.

Just get a Ship My Gun account Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||
