Charlie I wish I had that letter on several different occasions. Personally, I have had nothing but grief lately from UPS when trying to ship muzzleloaders.
The local UPS has flat turned me down when I told them I was shipping a Muzzleloader.
Before I moved here, the UPS in Shelton shipped two guns in 2006, and a bunch before that when I was selling off inventory with no problems at all, and then, after that, it was nothing but grief so I turned to the Post Office, which turned out to be a little more expensive.....
I noticed the date of that letter being 7/27/07... I wonder if there has been some kind of change around that date because my last attempt with UPS was made in Jan 2007, and I swore to heck with 'em, ' cause it ain't worth it.
Now having said all that, I have to say I have not tried UPS since the last time which was about Jan 2007, IIRC....maybe, just maybe, things are a little different right now. I don't know.
You can bet I will be checking here locally come tomorrow. And, I'm going to have a copy of Captchee's letter in my pocket when I start asking questions.
Uncle Russ...
