Firearm stocks

No matter who you decide to ship with, pack and pad it real well before you arrive at the station. Buy insurance and get tracking and delivery confirmation.
If it's a wood stock and the shippers ask, tell them it's a piece of exotic wood.
Or its a special piece of a fiberglass composite. That it is a stock is irrelevant.
As @wvfarrier said, it's the receiver or the part with the serial number on it that is considered the firearm and may require some special handling. Otherwise, in addition to the stock, the trigger, the trigger guard/bottom metal, magazines, the barrel, the recoil lug...all can be mailed or shipped without restriction (within the US). I call these items "machine parts".

Per the new UPS polices, a stock is considered a firearm product, and can now only be shipped by a shipper with an FFL that also has a signed firearm product shipping agreement and specific firearm product account with UPS.

While you can ship it as an individual, if something happens in transit and they find out what it is, you are in violation of their polices and there is no insurance for loss or damage.

The only firearm related part that UPS now allows a non-firearms product account holder to ship is a scope, there is a specific exemption for that. Anything else, even an AR grip, is considered a firearm part and an individual can't ship it though UPS without violating their polices.

Read it and shake your head...


USPS is still ok with individuals sending parts.

Thank You👍
 
Come to think of, I cannot remember if UPS shipped mine or if it was FedEx.

UPS is backdooring it by calling a stock a firearm part and including it as a firearm product.

Amazon sells stocks.


UPS can talk a long walk off of a short pier.

Edited to add, not saying one should buy stocks from Amazon. Just saying, there are other shipping companies beside UPS. They made this slithery rule change. Soon, they will add rifle scopes. Which means they truly desire to live without our business.

And that is political. If only we had conservative politicians with as much gusto for the cause. UPS will die with the lie, not even caring if they lose money.
