I had to send my S&W revolver back in February. FedEx said they only ship firearms to the manufacturer, not to an FFL, or private sale.

Some of the UPS franchise stores won't even ship gun parts, such as scopes. One in SW OKC is that way.
In my case, the UPS employee was an actual UPS employee. This was back when they had a shipping depot at Max Westheimer airport in Norman.
