Does UPS insist on sending a pistol's frame via next day air, or will they cut you a break since it is not a complete gun. I am interested in getting the fronstrap checkered on my Kimber SS Target, but don't really feel like giving UPS more money than they deserve.

Is there any other mailing/shipping company that is more friendly to pistols shooters?

the ups tax is for complete handguns
if you are an ffl you can mail it to an
ffl, prio mail INSURED!

I have had no luck with fed ex, I had heard that they were offering 3 day on guns which would save our customers a fortune, they were here for an hr, when they called the next day and said NEXT DAY ONLY AND ONLY IF YOU SHIP 50 GUNS A DAY, well I frankly lost interest.

For those of us not in AK. we can send the slide in one box and frame in another ups ground insured, that is the best I have found. Also to add to the ups tax they want it sent adult sig required, for an addational 3.50 iirc on top of next day air on top of insu for 4.00 per thousand. aside from that ...
