Why is everyone AFRAID TO SHIP A FIREARM?!

[SICAR187]

A little bit of a RANT here...

I love this site and do a lot of business here, but as we all know down here in SE AREA most of the action is the other neck of the woods. I see a lot of ADs that I like but most of the time (99%) is a NO_GO because everyone is either AFRAID, INTIMIDATED, ECT... when it comes to shipping firearms. I have shipped a few firearms here in GA and a couple on this site, never had a problem. It is LEGAL and most of the time CHEAP, certainly a lot cheaper the driving 4 hours round trip for a trade or sale. It is simple to take your firearm but it in a box, add an address and drop it of at the courier (some couriers will even pick it up at your location)? As I mentioned before it beats driving 4 hours round trip. IT IS SERVICE TO YOUR DOOR NO FFL REQUIRED... What else could you ask for?

haha^ I had a guy on here who had a shotgun for sale in south GA and I asked if I could pay with paypal and have him ship it, I even offered to have UPS pick it up since I have a UPS account, you would have thought I asked him to go on a date with his wife, I didn't argue but could understand why he was so upset that i asked him to ship the gun......

I just completed a Trade that includes shipping. But I feel your pain, most people just think it's to big a pain in the butt. I use an FFL Dealer, take it to them he boxes and ships it for $15 - $20. No pain on my end. There's a New Post almost every week about the same thing. Some people just want the Face to Face Deal.

Yep, it is a simple process NO FFL is even required, I don't understand why is so intimidating to everyone.
