They sent me a UPS shipping lable and told me do not take it to a UPS Store, take it ONLY to a UPS Customer Service Center... UPS Stores are the worst of the worst. Always staffed with three to six empty headed people...
AFAIK UPS does not allow "The UPS Store" locations to handle firearms, presumably because they are not directly controlled by UPS; the stores are franchises of Mail Boxes Etc., and the hiring and supervision of the employees is handled by the franchisee.

Since UPS has no way to directly supervise the way the stores are run, IMHO it's understandable why they don't want the aforementioned empty-headed people accepting gun shipments.

Personally, I have also generally been very unimpressed by The UPS Store, and IMHO they give customers a bad impression of the UPS brand, but UPS's marketing department didn't ask me.
