gfl216 226 Posted August 6, 2020 Hopefully someone can answer this question. If I buy a shotgun on gunbroker from a private seller, can he ship it directly a FFL in NJ or does he have to have a FFL from his state ship to a FFL in NJ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SJG 253 Posted August 6, 2020 Some FFL's in NJ will not accept a shipment from a private seller and some will. You need to check with the NJ FFL you want to receive the gun. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fslater 62 Posted August 17, 2020 I shipped a handgun to Buds a couple years ago(may be different for long guns). At the time (laws may have changed) it had to be shipped over night via UPS or FEDEX and only full service (possibly it may have been from a hub) locations will accept it. USPS is definitely a No Go Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USPS is definitely a No Go I don't mean to be unkind, but why did you feel it necessary to add this? It isn't relevant to the topic and the OP's question had already been answered. We're all anxious to participate and to help our fellow gun owners, but your response just confuses the issue. Just to clarify your post - if a handgun is shipped by a private individual, they must use a common carrier (UPS or FedEx). It is the carrier's rules that require next day shipping - not a legal requirement. The least expensive way to ship a handgun is using a dealer because an FFL is allowed to ship a handgun using the USPS. Long guns can be shipped by a private individual using the USPS. Sorry for being a dick. Adios, Pizza Bob 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
