I, too use the EZ Check system when shipping to an FFL. I print the results and then add the buyer's details. I keep that single piece of paper in for my records.

After reading your statement for the 4th time, I think maybe you're saying it's not required that I obtain a copy of the FFL, but that I *do* need to verify that I'm shipping to an FFL, and that EZ Check is an easy and reliable way to do that.

Federal Firearms License Results
Warning: No one may use this screen, in lieu of the required certified copy of a Federal Firearms License, to acquire a firearm.
There's the first myth. Not required for private parties shipping to FFLs. IF the private party wants to verify the FFL, which is NOT required, only the FFL number is required and the private party can use EZ Check to verify the FFL.
Many FFLs are refusing to provide copies of their license to private parties.

I am surprised this myth came up before the notification required by law myth.
The absolute easiest way to accomplish the shipment is to contact the receiving FFL, see what THEY want, and do it THEIR way. Because if you don't do it THEIR way, chances are they will simply refuse the shipment.
Both my UPS and Fedex hubs will only ship a handgun if I GIVE THEM A COPY OF THE FFL. It is THEIR POLICY.
FedEx does infringe upon our rights, it's true. They require an FFL be involved in the shipment of firearms.brickeyee said:Pilot said:Both my UPS and Fedex hubs will only ship a handgun if I GIVE THEM A COPY OF THE FFL. It is THEIR POLICY.
Ask them to show you the policy.
You can also call corporate HQ.
Who said a "photocopy is no good"?deadin I guess that all this means my C&R FFL03 is worthless. According to the "a photocopy is no good" theory, no FFL01, anywhere, should accept it from me and I may or may not be able to convince an out-of-state non-licensee to sell to me because there is no other way to confirm it's legit.
Uh, no. There is nothing in the US Constitution that requires a business to ship a firearm period. The Bill of Rights protects us from government. FedEx is free to make it's own business policies. As the owner of a business I have the right to decide who can carry a firearm into my business....if I deny you entry I'm not infringing on your rights, simply exercising MINE.nalioth:...FedEx does infringe upon our rights, it's true...
