Stolen guns
I’ve used UPS to ship guns for repairs and to ship gun parts quite a bit. Seems the feds busted one of their drivers for stealing and then reselling guns.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Funny, I was just talking to Bitter about this on the way back home last night. It seems a lot of places that do C&R stuff use FedEx. I’ve heard UPS has a real problem with this, and that FedEX was a better choice for shipping firearms.

Not necessarily. I bought a new rifle a few months ago and it was shipped via FedEx from the original dealer to my local FFL. It “disappeared” at the local center and we were given the runaround trying to get it found. They kept telling us to just fill out a “lost package” form and that there was nothing they could do. After being threatened w/ the BATFE they miraculously discovered it a few minutes later. I found out from my local dealer that that wasn’t the first time he’s lost a firearm through that center.

Wasn’t there a big stink about the Brownshirts reacting to all the stolen shipped handguns by not removing the “steal me” stickers, by not requiring that they be shipped in a larger, harder to conceal box, but by jacking up the rates UPS charged the customer?
Anyone remember? Was there not a boycott on? What happened?
