It's worse with UPS in the last few years. They will no longer handle
firearms unless they are shipped Red. They claim their losses were too
high ( because their employees were stealing the packages ) with ground
shipments since the packages were in the system so long.
Since they can't discipline their employees, they're teamsters after
all, they punish their customers. Smart business move...
