Ok, I've checked the FAQ (making sure I put that out there) and I'm still confused...
I was told by a seller on Gunbroker that the handgun I purchsed HAD to be shipped by UPS overnight to me (03 FFL) but that to an FFL dealer would be USPS Priority.
Does the postal service make a distinction between 01 and 03 FFLs?
Reason I'm asking is that he charged me $46 shipping UPS overnight, where several other auctions I'm watching or bidding on list USPS Priority or just Priority shipping. Another auction I won for a smiliar sized handgun charged me $10 shipping. I paid about the same for the second gun with its shipping that I did for the first gun's shipping alone!
Why the discrepencies?
Are the regulations outdated/incorrect, or are sellers using USPS without declaring, or does the first seller I dealt with not know that an FFLs are the same to the Postal Service? (Or are they not all equal to the Postal Service?)
All I see is that USPS will ship FFL to FFL with a Form 1508, Statement by Shipper of Firearms.
So I can be shipped to via USPS, correct?
