I find it interesting that FedUp requires a designated account number for firearms shipments yet prohibits markings indicating it contains a firearm. I suspect any FedUp employee with a scanner will be able to identify these account numbers and any part-timer with more than a week under his belt can recognize a package containing a long gun. Another issue is that (last time I checked) an FFL can have a firearm shipped somewhere besides the address on his FFL. I’m hoping they will wake up and smell the coffee someday but I’m not holding my breath. Attitudes like theirs take a little wind out of my argument for having an 03.

The reason both FedEx and UPS have in the last 4 years become difficult and hostile was a concerted effort on the part of the Executive Branch to make gun ownership and transfer difficult. I do not know how many federal agencies have some jurisdiction over commercial Interstate carriers like FedEx and UPS but more than one leaned considerable weight on both carriers in the name of “gun safety”, pursuant to an executive order signed by President Biden diecting ALL federal agencies to do what was within their power to more strictly regulate guns, to the fullest extent permitted by the Constitution.
Before that, UPS welcomed the business and FEDEX was at least tolerant of it. In my experience.
