Search seems to be less than user friendly.
I wanted to look up past posts on UPS shipping of ML. Only one search allowed per opening of the search. I cannot get it to another search without exiting and reopening.
I wanted to look up UPS. Nothing doing, only three characters. So I exited, reopened and typed in UPS shipping. It promptly deleted the UPS part of the search.
I will overcome this minor setback without any long term, negative character defects, however this engine seems to be lacking something.

It's funny you posted this because I just went through all of this with my UPS Customer Service Center.I tried to ship a ML that I sold Via UPS,the same one I received from UPS 4 months prior.The Lady at UPS told me it was illegal to ship,I told her it was not,but that fell on deaf ears.She also could not tell me why I have received other ML's through UPS including this very one(still had part of the old UPS sticker on the box).Anyways,she would not let me ship it.I emailed UPS Customer Service and asked if I could indeed ship a ML through the UPS system to an individual.this is how they replied:
Dear Richard,Thank you for your email."Antique Firearms" may be shipped via the UPS system,and are NOT required to be shipped UPS's Next Day Air services.
"Antique Firearms" are accepted for shipment at The UPS Store,UPS Customer Service Centers,UPS Authorized Shipping Outlets,and other third party retailers."Antique Firearms" are not limited to and from authorized parties like other firearms are.
Please contact us if you need any additional assistance.
I guess the "Antique Firearm" is the clue here,I saved this email so the next time I go to UPS I can hand this to the LOVELY Woman that works there.Hopes this helps. -------- Rich

I will find out in 30 minutes or so. The UPS store said they didn't ship guns. I guess I may have badgered that women somewhat and she came clean and said I had to go to the local Hub. I now recall that from earlier posts. They don't open until 430 pm. Next resort is FFL.

They took it to ship and the man behind the counter put 'rifle' in a box on the shipping form. I challenged his choice of nouns and he assured me it was ok...I don't think I look all that good in stripes

I do believe it all depends on who you talk to also.At least you were able to ship it,so that's good.

I've had much better luck shipping gun stuff through the US Post Office.
