Anyone having issues with UPS not shipping guns or ammo?

Not sure if this is the place to post this, but I had a firearm transferred here to my local ffl, and when it didn't arrive I checked the tracking and it was being returned! The shipping ffl said UPS listed it as 'refused by receiver'. After my ffl spent HOURS on the phone with UPS, the manager finally admitted (after blaming the virus, my ffl, babble about essential items, and everything else), that the package had been scanned on the warehouse dock in Denver as 'refused by receiver', and never made it on the truck. My ffl told the guy that they were a gun shop with 24 hr surveillance and could prove that a UPS truck had not been to their store in days.

Mine was not the only package that was not delivered. It seems that long, heavy packages, obviously long guns, and heavy items shipped from firearms/ammunition distributors to this store, (whose name indicates they are gun-related), were being scanned like mine on the loading dock and being returned. WTF? The sending ffl received my package and sent it back, (FEDEX this time). I filled out my 4473 and am currently waiting the 5-6 days it's taking CBI to crank out a background check.

My local ffl went way above and beyond for me, spending tons of time they don't have right now on the phone with UPS trying to get it straightened out, when the could have just sat on their hands and waited for it to show up, and the guy on the gunboards who sold it to me paid shipping twice and couldn't have been better about it.

Anyone else had this? Some angry libtard on the UPS loading dock sending guns back just because? Who knows. It's not the first time I've had problems with the big brown truck guys, but this is the worst.

I think shippers are having problems across the board with the 'stay at home' stuff going on. I had some tactical nylon stuck in Denver for 3 extra days (fedex), a Saturday delivery turned into a Wednesday delivery. Thankfully it wasn't an urgent purchase.

That sounds like some real BS. Did the shipper get his money back for the first shipment?

Akyla is having multiple problems according to his recent posts.

The shipper resent my item via FedEx this time on his own dime and filed a claim with UPS which is 'in process'.

I wouldn't call my purchase 'urgent', and I would completely understand receiving it a few days late, but my rifle made it all the way to Denver only to be returned to sender from the loading dock. That doubles the exposure to a long heavy box shipped FROM a gun store TO a gun store (gee, wonder what's in the box?). How many of us remember when CMP Garands were coming up missing during shipping? Not to mention the risk of damage in shipment. Anyone ever received a box from UPS with a muzzle sticking out one end? I have...

Ark Tactical had several deliveries not show up via UPS as the shipments were marked as "refused by receiver" Guns and ammo. A few other shops had the same thing happen. A few of my buddies had ammo shipments receive the same treatment from UPS.
