FedEx no longer shipping firearms.

I just shipped a shotgun to a smith for work via fedex. Generated a label online, it didn’t ask for contents. Arrived safely and in time.
 
Funny a guy just shipped a rifle to me from Fla to my FFL using FedEx and no problems? He was a private party as well.Is it just certain states?
I know the local hub in Fort Walton Beach, Fl will not unless the manufacturer sends a shipping label, just went thru this on an RMA. This was early February.

Maybe he didn’t tell them what it was. Most likely you can do that and not have any issues from what Many say but I’ll follow their policy just in case some bullshit happens. It’s a minor inconvenience and it’s not insurmountable
 
I have had shipments stolen or lost with every shipper, and had to provide proof of value from an original invoice of some type. DHL, FedEx, UPS, USPS. No firearms, thankfully. This is going back to the 90's. In one case, the FBI got involved (two $7k laptops in a row thru DHL.)

When I last shipped a firearm to a 'smith across the country, the rules specifically stated it should not indicate the contents in any way.

The rules are all spelled out but be prepared to provide evidence/documentation if it goes wrong.
 
Buy the shipping label through Gunbroker. You can put any company name on it you want and they don’t ask. See photo.
