PRDATR Report post Posted June 14, 2016 Contact Remington and they will give you shipping instructions. FYI, I am getting ready to send a Franchi back to Benelli and they said do not send any fired shells with the gun but to send them in a separate package. Not sure if that is just their policy or UPS.

GreyFox Report post Posted June 14, 2016 Predator, Not UPS policy that I'm aware of, empty brass. They always say not to ship any ammo. FWIW, if you happen to ship ammo UPS or any other way, it's got to have the OMD or ORD or whatever that stupid label is.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted June 14, 2016 Don't know what that is but I will probably ship it UPS. I don't know if USPS ships shotguns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyFox Report post Posted June 15, 2016 Yeah, the USPS regs are NOT the same as Federal regs, You can ship a long gun US MAil, for repair and it can be shipped back to you, no FFL required. To ship a handgun USPS, it has to go FFL to FFL. UPS, you have to declare the firearm but no other documentation required. If they provide a shipping label, it'll state which carrier to use, Benelli has excellent customer service. I had a customer's gun, called to get parts which they would not ship to me, BUT they'd fix it for free or ship the parts to the owner. Seems that gunsmiths were getting parts for free from them then charging the customers for parts, so Benelli stopped that practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted June 15, 2016 They said any parts would be at dealer cost and there was a base fee of $80 since I'm not the original owner. Last gun I shipped back to a friend UPS made me send it to an FFL Holder and I had to show UPS a copy of their signed FFL. Last I heard handguns were only accepted by FEDX and I have never tried to ship a firearm via USPS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyFox Report post Posted June 15, 2016 WAY off topic, BUT UPS and FEDEX you have to ship handguns overnight express. Shipping to your friend absolutely has to go through FFL. Mailing handguns - FFL to FFL. Benelli is charging for parts? What do they care who the original owner is? That's totally different to me, usually they ship free to the owner, for repair, most of my customers (hence they're CUSTOMERS) pay me a nominal fee to ship and receive.

257wby Report post Posted August 2, 2016 Good news, got my gun back from Remington, and everything is good. Took it to the range this weekend and shot 3 different brands of factory loads through it and it worked flawlessly. Time to start working up a load for it as I have a Nov hunt in 23. Thanks for all the info and feedback. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
