How the **** do you mail a suppressor????

[lisztomania7]

I just lie to the people at the shipping place now, if they ask. What I'm shipping - unless it's a bomb / drugs or something - is none of their damn business. Certain guns are legal via USPS and others are legal UPS/FedEx, just do your homework.

I had the exact same situation as the OP happen to me when I was going to ship a firearm at a UPS or FedEx shipping center (can't remember which), while following the procedure put forth by shipmygun.com. They flipped out, even when I talked to the manager, and I also talked to customer service at shipmygun.com.....The consensus that I got from the shipmygun.com people was that there's nothing illegal about it at all, you just have to lie to the people at the shipping center.

That's even worse if you're just shipping gun parts and they react like that.....yeah, just say car parts. I take no joy in lying. But it's what their own dumbass policies have made a requirement, even though it's not illegal or against their 'real' rules.

It's a bunch of BS, makes no sense at all.

Can anyone confirm that it's a felony to ship a suppressor through USPS? That's what AAC told me and that I had to use FedEx or UPS....I'm just going off what AAC told me...

@1_AR_NEWBIE do you know?

I shipped my Glock slide out at a UPS store. Told them firearm part and they didnt say anything, just did their job and shipped it. lol

I'm sure it's all about location location location ......

I've never shipped anything at a UPS 'store' other that 'tools' or 'machine parts'.

That's been my experience to date, except for this crap today....I should go back there later and say car part and smile and see if they ship it....

Print a label and drop it off with a driver. They don't ask questions.

100% what I'm doing; I can drop it in the drop box at work.

Good point. If you print your label at your house you should be able to just drop it off.

Found a link to this - very specific about firearms and knives, says nothing about suppressors or other parts. https://pe.usps.com/archive/html/dmmarchive20030810/C024.htm

Did AAC not send you a label?
