Shipping Firearms

If you send your firearm to Grayguns, you must read everything on this page. Carrier rules frequently change, and we are working to keep this page up to date.

Special Info for California Customers

Federal law allows a gun owner to ship an unloaded firearm to Grayguns - or any other FFL holder - via a common carrier like FedEx for repair or modification and receive it back directly to your residence.

This process is lawful, but neither FedEx nor UPS will allow non-licensees to ship firearms.

FedEx rules (Page 129) prohibit those without an FFL from shipping firearms.

UPS rules (Page 7, Section 3.7.1) do not allow those without an FFL to ship firearms.

We'll provide a shipping label for you

We can provide you with a FedEx shipping label for your package. The shipping cost will be added to your invoice.

Click here for the FedEx How to Ship Firearms page. Note shipments containing firearms must be sent with the Adult Signature Required Delivery Signature Option.

You may be able to save money by shipping through your local FFL. See below for additional information.

Your securely packaged unloaded pistol should be taken directly to a FedEx service center for shipment. Affiliated shipping agents, such as mailbox stores and copy centers, cannot accept firearms. You are required by law to notify the counterperson of the contents of your package.

Your firearm must be shipped to your residence or to your local FFL upon our return.

Do not ship handguns to Grayguns via the US Postal Service unless you have an FFL.

Shipping my gun via my local FFL

Check with your friendly local FFL dealer to see if they will ship your firearm to us by US Postal Mail. This may save you money. (See note for California customers below.)

What else should I know?

Return shipping has been included in your estimate unless an alternative arrangement has been made. For those making alternative arrangements for return shipping, the return label must be for FedEx Priority Overnight, Adult Signature Required. No exceptions. The direct signature required option is different and cannot be used for shipping firearms.

Pistol Magazines

You may wish to send a couple of pistol magazines with your firearm. That is fine, but do not send us magazines that have a capacity of more than 10 rounds.

What about UPS?

In Reedsport, Oregon, the FedEx service is more reliable than UPS, and we have a good relationship with the FedEx team in our area.
