[Squeeze]

Probably worthy of another sticky.

Honestly not surprised seeing a lot of these surfacing. With the recent surge in gun sales some manufacturers seem to be slacking on quality assurance in order to pump out more volume.

Note: XDs model only.

hey guys, I'm confused. The instructions for this are to take to a FedEx office and ship out. i thought we had to use a FFL to ship a firearm. ??? Yeah my new toy is on the list.

Not necessary to ship between the owner and the manufacturer. The manufacturer can also replace the firearm and return it directly to you without going through an FFL.

They can repair & return to you. I think a replacement requires an FFL. New serial #.

you are correct, same serial number can be shipped back to owner, replacement (new serial number) requires FFL.

Not my rules.

I sent a pistol to glock, you have to send it next day, and tell the person at the counter it is a firearm. At least that's what I had to do.

I wonder if someone else can sign for your returned package or if they need a background check first!

In Croatia, Gun Build You.

I had a pistol replaced by ParaOrdnance. Came directly to me. Para did the change through their books.

I've sent a few S&Ws in for work. They would send me the return tag. Pistol in the blue box and goes right into the FedEx box with the label. There's no disclosure of what is inside the box and it's insured by S&W. The label doesn't say "Smith & Wesson" or "Steal Me".
