Handgun shipments are prohibited from the UPS Ground system. UPS will continue to accept handgun shipments from UPS Daily Pickup accounts and through our Customer Counters. The UPS driver or UPS Customer Counter clerk must be informed which packages contain handguns. As a reminder, handguns may only be shipped between licensed importers, manufacturers, dealers, retailers, collectors, and law enforcement agencies, or by a lawful owner when properly shipping to a manufacturer, retailer, or dealer for repair or customization. The licensed party who performs the repair or customization is permitted to return the handgun via UPS to the owner who originally shipped it.
Federal regulations prohibit the inclusion of ammunition in the same package with a firearm.
