FEDEX Ammo Delivery's

AJ · Dec 30, 2024

Since I do not get ammo delivered to my house, I have no idea as to the answer of the following question. A friend complained to me that a Fedex driver wanted to scan his drivers license before he would release an ammo shipment to him. Is this normal?

Not in my area. They drop the box on my porch and don't look back, even if the delivery instructions say "signature required".

I don't know the answer to your question, but it makes sense to me, and makes me feel a lot better about using FedEx for shipping or receiving ammo.

I’ve had untold cases of ammo dropped off on my front porch, but mine all come via UPS, and I never opt for the “signature required” shipping option. My driver only knocks on the door for a signature for firearms shipments about 30% of the time. (Porch pirates aren’t a thing here.)

Google tells me that FedEx started scanning IDs for any “adult signature required” items last year.

That's garbage! I'd have told the guy to get his supe on the phone right now! No excuse for that ****.

Was your friend in Florida also? If so, then the driver was either politically motivated and on a crusade, or just ignorant..

That’s exactly why fedex and ups now require guns be shipped from FFL to FFL.

Some online ammo companies have a block you can check on the order form to require adult signature. If you check that ....

#CH4 That's the problem. It's ammo, not guns. IfI buy a gun online, it's FFL-FFL.

Not necessarily. While a C&R eligible firearm is going from a FFL to an FFL technically the C&R Holder does not have a storefront. So it could be left on the porch if no one is home.

Yes, he is in Florida. However, remember we are a Red State, not a Blue State. Could be the driver was a transplant from one of those west coast Blue States.

You can’t deliver ammo to a minor. The driver is just following the rules.

Does it make you mad that you are asked your age when you go onto a firearms related websight?

Find something else to be mad about.

Shipping ammo

One of the big three shippers has a option to choose a specific person to receive package, may have to show driver license.
Plus proof of age.
I can't drive to UPS to ship ammo like I used too, they closed down all the service centers near me.
Shucks !!

That is kind of what I was thinking when he told me about it. Sort of like buying liquor in a store when they card you.

I can see both sides. I will not provide a copy of my drivers license to a delivery company, signature yes license no.
Also I am 100 percent sure that clicking that I am over 18 is never abused.

I've never been asked for an ID on an ammo or component shipment, but then again I gave my delivery driver a box of small pistol primers for Christmas.

SVT-THUNDER · Dec 30, 2024

Never have I had to show anything or even sign when I’ve requested it. I finally bought a motion camera that alerts my phone/iPad with live recording video after a few thousand rounds were left sitting on my front porch several years ago. They just drop it off (FedEx and UPS) and run back to the truck. Don’t knock or ring the doorbell either. I also hate the fact they give me an 8 hour delivery window. That really helps…

Okay i did not read all the post word for word. However, i have a Question.
And a statement.
How does the Drivers Know what is in the Box?
The Driver was probably just doing what the handheld told them to do.

Not everyone has a driver’s license. What happens then ?

Do you, honestly, know anyone over the age of 16 that is a shooter that does not have a drivers license? Get serious. Then a state ID card would suffice.

Back to OP. The scan is company policy for "Adult signature required" deliveries, and the driver is simply complying with rules because he wants to keep his job! Why it that such a big deal? You should be glad he is conscientious enough to comply with the rules!
