Well, I have a firearms related package on the ups system.  Nothing 80% in it.  Guess we'll see if they deliver it!

Sounds like an additional layer of unnecessary cost.

It's almost like the government wants to destroy the industry.

Imma seize and destroy some UPS package cars then.

It’s private property just on a different scale so it should be OK with them.

What may have triggered UPS to do what they did.

Quote
Five Democratic Senators recently sent ominous letters to United Parcel Service and 27 other carriers, blaming them for escalating violent crime rates.

“We are concerned that lax shipping security measures are contributing to the epidemic of gun violence in this country by allowing criminals to use stolen firearms to commit crimes,” the letters each state.

They were signed by Senators Edward Markey (D-Mass.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Cory A. Booker (D-N.J.), Christopher S. Murphy (D-Conn.) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).
Quote
The letters were sent May 19 to UPS, FedEx, the U.S. Postal Service and trucking and rail carriers located in the United States and Canada.

More UPS news

Quote
Collins, who owns an ammunition distribution company, said to me in an interview the other day that out of 18,000 rounds of ammunition he’s shipped, about only 6,000 were actually delivered. I quickly noted that less than half the product Collins is trying to ship is not being delivered, he did correct me in saying “Less than half, exactly. Less than…almost a third.”

Yesterday I received an ammo order via FedEx, with zero drama.

Must be the area where that shipper is located.  I don't think I have ever lost an ammo shipment.  Most were shipped via UPS. 

I figure UPS knows exactly what is happening and doesn't want to fix it.

I might have to order some ammo from Midway USA. Due to my location it has always been next day by UPS.
Sometimes we carry more weight then we owe.
And sometimes goes on and on and on.
