FEDEX Shipping

If you just say that it's sporting goods, that works.

Always expensive golf clubs.

That's so funny............

I don’t understand this post about FedEx not shipping Airgun. I just sent mine to FX USA yesterday FedEx, it is their contract carrier for returns. Fix sent me the shipping label.

I believe the issue is with the “store front”, not corporate HQ.

if you haven’t already, try paying and printing for the label online. Then just take it to a different store as a drop off.

I ship from a FedEx store front all the time. I think it depends on the state you live in, whether the atmosphere is friendly or not.

Airguns as defined by FedEx rules currently in place are neither Firearms (duh!) nor Dangerous Goods (double duh!)

You may have just run into an anti-gunning tree-hugger at the shipping desk making up their own version of the truth that deos not know the correct definition or FedEx Rules.

There are certain localities that have chosen to define airguns as firearms. Not Constitutional, but until someone challenges them, their rules will stand. You may have been trying to ship to one of those Constitutionally challenged locations.

Curiously, this was posted back in 2014 on the other AG website..

I've lived in areas before where I was given a hard time by local UPS pick ups for shipping air guns. It's hard to explain when the employees have a low reading comprehension level. I had to once deal with a USPS Postmaster that told me it was considered a firearm. She was so ignorant that I finally stopped using USPS and just used UPS. I'm not sure how some of these people graduate high school. 

They didn't, that's what qualifies them for the job. The dumber they are the higher they get promoted.

I just told them sporting goods and all is well. 

I just had a Taipan Vet delivered from UTAH AIRGUNS by FedEx. How do you explain that?

I just shipped an AIR RIFLE today with FedEx. How do you explain that?

When asked what the item is, tell them it’s a pneumatic hole punch, air tool, tool. If you say GUN in any form, someone is going to get scared.

I have shipped 2 rifles and a pistol to Smith & Wesson and Springfield and never had a problem with FedEx
