I'm trading my AKs with another guy in CA in and we're shipping them to each other. I don't need to ship it through an FFL and I heard fedex or UPS is a better bet than USPS.

The issue is whether or not to declare it as a firearm. Is it illegal not to? I have heard a lot of stories about people seeing that it's a firearm and stealing it.

Do or don't declare it?

 

i think its illegal, and a dealer does have to ship it. im just guessing here. why do you say you dont need to ship it through a ffl? a packaged opened once at fedex, it was probably 12*12*48, ---- had a bunch of guns in it. dunno whatever happened to it. i asked the go to guy and he said they had to check if it was going to a dealer or some ----.

well ----.... that's a pain in the ***. Thanks for the answer though!

 

that's not really that bad, just ship it to a dealer

 

im pretty sure its 100% illegal to ship an AK to CA FFL dealer or not.

 

dhl asks no questions.

 

ship as x-mas ornaments

 

Get a fresh new box and plenty of tape. Its a intake manifold if they ask


They dont open boxes unless the boxes are ripped open or stuff is falling out of them




They handle millions every week the last thing they are doing is checking if there is a gun in every 100,000

 

better hurry though. DHL is pulling out of this country. i was using them for all US packages cause they were cheap. i had some wierd ---- happen, now its all fedex
