Is this correct --UPS - semi-autos
I just heard that UPS no longer will ship any semi-auto; ie. handgun, rifle, shotgun. Has anyone else heard this.[:)][:)]

Haven't heard anything about it, couldn't find anything on the website, I wouldn't worry about it, sounds like a rumor. Besides, they aren't going to spend the money to train personal to know the difference in firearms, and they won't open your packages anyway. 0 -
Don't know about that rumor but leeblackman they WILL open your package. I was sending a very expensive barrel via UPS an had to tell them it was a gun barrel---they made me open it before shipping. 0 -
as I know not yet.

This may be their policy,but they sure don't follow it. I've received several C&R firearms through them and have never signed for any of them. They usually leave them on the porch.
