    I went to my local UPS store earlier to send a magazine to someone and when asked what was in the package, told them "an empty magazine". The clerk asked me if it was for a gun, and I said yes. She said because they were just a franchise, they could not ship any firearms parts. I asked for a manager, and the manager agreed they could not ship the magazine. I thought this was just so crazy...

    They don't know the UPS corporate policy, but I am not surprised.

    When we were still in Houston the local UPS store lost 2 of our packages in the store. I figured it was the owners dumb ass kid working the counter both time. They came out of pocket for a little over $200.00.

    UPS is called Big Brown for a reason, they are full of $hit.

    They once refused insurance on an antique revolver because it was Christmas time and they lose more packages at that time. $hit service

    My intuitive answer would have been "none of your dog-dang business" but I would hold myself back and politely reply "decorative metal storage container".
    If they feel like oppressing, I prefer not to give them an excuse. But that's just me.
    (I actually just handed a padded envelope with 2 magazines to my mailman - even if he asked and I truthfully answered, I don't think he would give a sh*t - he's a normal person, not a career offendee)

    You need to be more vague when dealing with these assholes. First, never ever mention anything firearm related just say "metal parts". Second, prepare your shipment in advance and simply drop it off.

    Find a better UPS store.

    The local place we deal with for work will ship absolutely anything that isn’t absolutely banned by corporate policy. And probably some stuff that crosses the line if she can find something else to call it.

    She shipped the bolt carrier and trigger , and some other random parts without issue when I sent them off to a forum member to cerakote.

    You just need to find one not run by a leftist.
