Home deliveries.

[The Gunsmith]

Hello all I am a home based Gunsmith and dealer. I’m running into some issues with being available to sign for home deliveries. How have you tackled this issue?

Simple. My office is in my home. You're probably gonna have to ship somewhere where an adult resides full time. I assume some portion of your incoming packages will require an adult signature and there's no fixing that.

Not so simple. I have a day job. Gunsmithing is a side business. Is it possible to have everything shipped to a UPS store?

It all depends. Some places will not ship to anything but your billing address. If not, any chance you could ship them to work?

With all the package theft and fraud over the past years it has gotten harder to work out alternate delivery arrangements. Of course due to the nature of the items you get delivered, it is even tighter regulations.

I do IT work for a hospital system. It probably wouldn’t be the best idea to ship firearms there. Lol

Shipping firearms will require a serious workaround. They have to be shipped to an ffl.

If you're not available for receipt they'll need to be shipped to another ffl.

When I worked at the home office of a construction company, I got stuff shipped in all the time. Now that I work IT for a bank, yeah not so likely. Though I have snuck a few packages in from individuals. 

You could ask about "Hold for Pickup" options with the shipper, but most of the time that is a no go for firearms too.

I’ve got a c&r and  had firearms held at the ups facility, before . Problem is they do keep bankers hours ...

That would work. There is one close to my work.
