After spending hours attempting to ship a cap and ball revolver to a "Northern" state I have decided to withdraw all from sale and keep them shoot them or whatever.

Moderator feel free to withdraw the post

Don’t know where the problem was......USPS ships them all day long anywhere. They are not firearms under their rules. I have shipped 100’s over the years.

[Des]

The problem is they reinterpet the rules or regs everytime I go in. Doesn't make any difference between UPS or USPS, they have never been consistant with the rules

[Carolina Reb]

Come down here to SC. USPS doesn't even ask what's in the box as long as you check that it's not hazardous. They will ask if you want extra insurance.

[Ron The Old Reb]

It's not UPS or USPS it self it's the people behind the counter. They don't know the rules and regulations themselves. I get in an argument with my postmaster about every month about my street address. I have a box number and have to pick the mail up at the post office, so what the hell difference dose my street address have to do with it.:mad:

I asked for insurance which prompted the refusal when contents were stated

[Lou Lou Lou]

I insure my “machine parts” and antiques when I ship

[unlisted2]

I insure my “machine parts” and antiques when I ship

That works until the first time you need to file a claim and they refuse it on the grounds that the contents don't match the description. Best thing to do is to set up an online USPS account and print your insured postage there (plus you get a discounted postage rate). Then you can just walk into your post office, hand them the package and leave no questions asked.

[Michael Bodner]

I ALWAYS go the pre-printed route. No questions asked about what the contents are when you set the insurance level (other than checking the box about non-hazardous). Plus you don't wait on line, just drop it off on the counter....

UPS is my preferred method since it ain't the Post Office...

The following is out of the USPS regulations:
43 Firearms 431 Definitions 431.1 Firearm The following definitions apply:


Firearm means any device, including a starter gun, which will, or is designed to, or may readily be converted to, expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; the frame or receiver of any such weapon; any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; or any destructive device; but the term shall not include antique firearms (except antique firearms meeting the description of a handgun or of a firearm capable of being concealed on a person).
Firearm frame or receiver is the part of a firearm which provides housing for the hammer, bolt or breechblock, and firing mechanism, and which is usually threaded at its forward portion to receive the barrel. Frames and receivers usually (but not always) include the firearm serial number and are usually considered to be the regulated component of a firearm.
As per this you may not ship a BP revolver except by FFL

Do not believe that changes my post. USPS came to that conclusion on the phone with me and a conference call with main state office

[RaiderANV]

Give me their phone number and I’ll straighten them out. 😎
