The question is can a regular Joe ship a handgun directly to a dealer or the manufacturer through UPS?
From reading this on UPS.com, I'm guessing the answer is no:
Firearms will be transported only between licensed importers, licensed manufacturers, licensed dealers, and licensed collectors, as defined in the United States Gun Control Act of 1968.

But, I found one of their older pages that say's the following... and now I'm wondering if the answer is yes:
Firearm shippers shipping through a UPS Customer Counter must have a letter on record with UPS stating their status as an authorized firearm shipper, OR must be shipping the firearm to a licensed importer, manufacturer, or dealer for repair or customization.
