shipping?

[a a r o n]

ive gotten a few different answers to this question ive had, and i figured this would be the best place to turn to figure out the correct one. i have a hand gun i need to ship back to KAHR i was told by a local gun shop that i am allowed to send it off myself, but when i looked on kahr's website it says federal law prohibits anyone without a ffl to mail a gun. so what does the law say about this?

Thanks.

You can mail it but you can't use USPS

You can send it back with UPS, but you need to disclose it is a firearm and do so at there business hub, not a UPS store. Needs to go air as well.

I would call Kahr and ask them how to do it. I am sure you will need prior approval to ship it to them, probably a packing label with a return number.

Sometimes it is best to talk to a real live person as opposed to trying to rely on their website for specific details. You are not the first to have to ship one back, they have a procedure that works.

I had to ship my wife's LCP back to Ruger and all I needed was to do as stated above. Called manufacturer, got shipping labels, told UPS hub it was a firearm, properly packed said firearm, and waited on Ruger to send it back.

You don't have to do that in this case because the recipient is a licensed manufacturer. And the "next day air only" is just company policy. I tell them the box contains machine parts.

Machine parts is like code for gun Seriously though, one employee got nosy and asked what kind. Rather than tell them to F off, I said meat grinder.
