Doverham, Dave's reference is from the Q&A. The Law section I sited earlier is where you find the "written notice", its the law. Bob Jurewicz

I have shipped many times to NECG by UPS.....I have to drive to the Sagamore beach from Plymouth, drop it off and put " NECG" which is what NECG tells me to do. I am asked what is in it...I tell them a beat up old shotgun.....I even asked NECG because of this thread if they have had any delivery problems with stolen guns and they have told me they have not ....as of yet.....it it sent overnight and comes back overnight when shipped. But the distance for me is only 4 hours away. They told me they know their delivery guy and he knows them ( I did not ask but I bet he gets a nice modest Xmas bonus which is what I would do )...when it come back to me...the delivery guys knows me too....and tells me it's back.....by the way , I give him a bottle around Xmas.... As I used to do with my mail man....but none of this guarantees anything.

We are a registered shipper with both UPS and fedx. They know what we do.
Its federal law that you must give written notice to the carrier. Generally the drivers do not care. Its the higher ups that do.
Here is something interesting that has just happened to me. I just shiiped some ammo via UPS, something I have done before. I write on the box in several places, ORM-D. Which by law is required. I would just use a very broad marker, vesy to see. Well, my driver just returned the ammo and said security said it was not properly marked. I told my driver that I have done that any times before and he yes, he knows. But I have to have the proper DOT aproved labels to attached to the box. Which I had to get (not supplied by UPS) and then I attached they to the box. Now ok.

If you ever have to try to collect on the insurance, the USPS is MUCH easier to deal with. UPS and FedEx act like it's their money. Absolutely true, send it Registered Mail and should it get lost you will get paid. Not so with UPS, not sure about Fedex.
