How Long Has FedEx NOT Shipped Airguns?

News to me. Thought they did. Unless your doing it in a Airgun banned zone. 

I’ve never had any problem here in Pennsylvania. I had to ship a couple back to the seller and told them that it was an airgun with no problem.

I just sent one today, I’ve found that some certain places might not want to do it. That page you linked is dead.

Fed-X just brought me my M3, a few days ago, so evidently they still ship them.

With UPS, the franchise stores cannot accept them, but the company hubs can. Maybe a similar situation with FedEx? I've not had an issue at my local store.

Sir, what are you shipping?

Answer: pneumatic paper punch

Yeah, if you're going to lie about it, just be prepared to absorb any potential loss and relates penalties (read the fine print).

They list pb ammo but I know for a fact they do ship it to states that you can legally receive ammo shipped to you. They know it's ammo also as there's a tamper proof seal sealing the box.

You're in the weird India subpage. FedEx's site is really goofy. 

Typically they will only ship airguns ground within the US. 

I have a guy at my local who classifies my air guns as toys because as he stated...technically, it's not a firearm. 

One thing we all need to remember. Whatever arrangement we might have with our buddy at the shipping site, it isn't worth a can of warm spit if something happens that gives rise to an insurance claim. At that point, you have to offer documentation of the contents, and value. The amount of insurance you buy is irrelevant, it's a matter of what the insurer determines to be "market value", which may also be irrelevant if fraud is determined. So, we need to accept the risk of being self insured, or accurately document the contents and value of the shipment. 

Utah just shipped one to me today. Could be that some independent Fedex licensees have their own policy.

I’m pretty sure whatever page you were looking at is for another country. I went into the US restricted page and it wasn’t nearly as long as the list you posted. Airguns weren’t on there.

Every PA shipment is by Fee\dEx... airguns included.

Yes! This! The smaller FedEx/UPS stores do not accept airguns, but the big main hubs do. I used to ship airguns exclusively through FedEx at their main hub. But I changed to USPS because some of the staff at FedEX main hub didn't know how to fill out the paperwork for shipping an air rifle. Much simpler for me to use USPS.

Cost wise how do FedEx and USPS compare shipping airguns?

I test and ship Non-Regulated mineral insulating oil from electrical equipment. We use Fedex exclusively. Since Covid I get shipments ready from home or job sites, so I use many drop off locations. As I do this I run into many personalities at the Fedex locations. Most don't know their job. I get all kinds of questions. The oil sometimes can be heard if the oil is in a can. I have pictures of "Fedex" regulations, mineral oil MSDS, ADOT's classification of mineral oil. And still I get the agent that thinks this can not be shipped. Depending on the day, I may take the time to educate them on their job, or when they ask what I am shipping I just say electrical insulation. Which is the truth.

To make shipping simple use the shippers web sight, print your label and drop off your package at the carrier. I do the same weather USPS, UPS or Fedex. Also you may save money. The closest UPS store near me wanted to charge a third more to use them as a drop off for a scope. The lady tells me how do you think we make our money. I also saw them deny shipping to a gentleman who declared he was shipping spent 357 cases. The best I heard is to declare you are shipping a "pneumatic hole punch"
