UPS sucks will not ship for an individual

[MILSURP Collector]

So, I went to ship a rifle and evidently UPS has changed their policy and will only accept preprinted labels.

Only FFLs can print those so I went the USPS route, which of course was more expensive.

Does anyone use ship my gun?

They have a 15 pound limit which would not have worked for me with case the weight was 24 pounds.

Any other decent shippers?

Was this at the UPS store? They usually pack and label it themselves.

Buy a cheap golf bag and ship it in the bag and box it came in.

Yes, the clerk showed me a 1 march notice that they can only accept preprinted labeled rifles.

The UPS store hasn't accepted from non FFLs for as long as the UPS store has been a thing. Non FFLs have always had to ship from a UPS Facility (not a store) as far as UPS policy is concerned. Some UPS store employees have "looked the other way" in the past, but it's never been an approved method.
