or 2nd day air. Do you just put-your-foot-down, and insist on GROUND? Quote them their own internal regulation, or something? Or, is the method covered in my earlier reply? Inquiring minds want to know!

On the fourth line of the counter shipping record, it says "package contains"

Now some people fill this in with, rifle....shotgun.....handgun/pistol.

If this is the way you are doing it, you are being to specific...as they all fall under one heading. Sometimes, to much information is given for no reason. Could it be as simple as writing, firearm???
Beat them at their own game, overboxing does not cost extra, only weight does. LTS

ps/ How would you ship a "receiver" only??? Label it "receiver????"
What is it really??????.......The legal definition.

45nut has it right. Personally, i always ship 'projectile delivery systems'. The clerks have never even asked for an explanation.

Now, for a curve, what about "black powder" handguns and/or muzzle loaders? Same requirements? (They're not required to go to FFL according to ATF rules, from what I've heard and read.)

Just curious ...
