    SHIP MY GUN?

    Shipping a handgun via UPS or FedEx has become prohibitively expensive in recent years.

    Anyone have experience with the SHIP MY GUN program?

    Thanks,

    It’s the only way to go, unless you’re an FFL or besties with one. I’ve shipped over a half-dozen pistols this way, and I’m really grateful to Bud’s for cobbling the idea up. Only downside is having to do legwork to get a destination FFL added to the list before shipping on occasion, but it’s worth it. JMO.

    They’re a subsidiary of Bud’s gun shop.

    Last one I sent a couple weeks ago was $35 and all I had to do was drop off the prepaid package at a UPS terminal.

    Easy peasy.

    It works and they have great rates. The only issue I’ve run into is their contract with UPS states only UPS Customer Center, which is very specific and different from UPS Stores. In my case, the nearest one is at a UPS hub 30 miles away.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the responses….very helpful.

    In my case the UPS hub is only about 15 minutes from the house.

    If the receiving FFL is in their program and there is a UPS Customer Center within reasonable driving distance, it makes the whole thing very easy and more affordable.

    Had anyone used this to ship back to a manufacturer? I’ve got an older SP101 that needs to go back and the quote I got was less than what Ruger wants for a prepaid label.

    Get a C&R for $29 a year and use the USPS.
    You can get much more of what you want with a kind word and a gun, than with a kind word alone.
