    Hey Sean, they're wrong.

    I would like to see the postal rule that says I must tell them what is in the box. I haven't been able to find it yet.

    My fear is that if I dont tell them whats in the box and it comes up missing or damaged and I have to file a Insurance claim and I dont tell them its a firearm they wont pay up. I'm also screwed if I tell them its a firearm and some uneducated clerk freaks out and trys to tell me I cant ship a firearm and I have to go through all the BS to teach her how to do her job.
    I to havent been able to find anything in the regs

    If the guy is in Ohio, you might just want to arrange a "meet in the middle FTF" kinda deal.

    If he's from Ohio he might be a gypsy and steal the rifle from Orlando, or in the least put a curse on him.

    Orlando, you're being paranoid bro. I have filed insurance claims with the USPS before only to have them denied because they said you couldn't even ship firearms in the mail. NOTHING was said about telling anyone there was a gun in the box. I than told them that they needed to pay immediately and pointed out their rules saying I could ship a firearm. Payment was sent within 4 business days. If you don't tell someone you're shipping a lamp and it's broken you think you can't file a claim because you didn't tell anyone it was a lamp? PEOPLE, STOP the silliness.
