    The link is in the opening post and has been repeated more than once I this thread. As far as I can tell it is from FedEx's web site. This is also being discussed in a number of other forums and I have not seen anything that debunks this as BS.

    I posted this here so that that those who need this service can check for themselves.

    Did you notice that the thread title is a question?

    Haven't shipped anything in the firearm category. Lately the FFL I use does the work for me.

    I used FedEx for the rifles, then depending on who was behind the counter, would say I needed to be a FFL.

    UPS is usually my go to for shipping ammunition. Wonder when they will change?

    I think Big Brother is trying his best to squeeze out the rule followers. :(

    Last time I tried to have a gun shipped through an FFL, they lost it in the back of the safe for a month and I had to threaten to report it stolen to get them to go "ohhhh here it is, we forgot!". :rolleyes:

    Must be nice to be a middleman.

    It says "customer". Again, read the quoted section I posted earlier

    Only customers holding a Federal Firearms License (FFL) and federal, state, or local government agencies may ship firearms with FedEx. Customers holding an FFL must enter into an approved FedEx Firearms Shipping Compliance Agreement before shipping any firearms with FedEx.

    Walther sent me a Fed Ex label to send my Q5 back to them for repairs. Havent sent it yet because I have no way to receive it as a signature is required. I hate Fed Ex anyway in our area they are terrible and there is no local hub, If you miss the delivery it is a huge hassle.
