I took a packaged rifle to my main post office today, along with a copy of the recipient's FFL license and printout from EZ-Check showing the FFL's license is current and the premises address matches the license, and matches my shipping label.
From the second I started speaking with the counter person I had an inclination this was not going to be a normal day: attitude.
She disappeared in the back, returned, and informed me that non-licensees may no longer ship ANY guns, period. She said Homeland Security had issued a bulletin stating no more guns accepted from non-licensees, end of story. I tried to reason with her and was told flat out, it's not going to happen.
I could not believe this was the case so, I drove 5 miles to another post office and asked if I could ship a rifle to a FFL. I produced the same documentation as in the first case. The counter person briefly consulted with the boss and said sure, no problem.
I don't know what the heck is going on but figured I'd post my experience here in the event others have observed the same thing.
