Thanks. Brought it to FedEx in Norwood, handed it to the guy, told him it was a firearm, he thanked me for telling him and that was it. In and out in a minute.
The real fun is going to be trying to be home when they return it...
Never heard of a FedEx depot in Dedham. Where are you talking about? They could have opened one while I wasn't looking.I have had several guns I got on Gunbroker shipped to me by FedEx. When FedEx lets me know a package is coming I have it held @ the FedEx Office in Dedham. FedEx lets me know when the package is ready for pickup and I just go down there and get when I have a few minutes. The FedEx Office will hold it for up to five days. Some Walgreens are also FedEx "access points" which means you can have a package shipped to a Walgreens access point and get at your convenience.

Yes. I sent a mass gun in and I like the reset better after the update. The only issue I have is that I converted mine to a no safety trigger pack using a trigger pin from another Sig model. It doesn’t work anymore. The trigger binds with the new parts they add to the trigger pack. I put it back to stock and all is correct again.Any noticeable difference in the triggers coming back with respect to weight, etc?
I was referring to the FedEx Office at the rotary where Washington Street & Route 1 intersect. I have had four guns shipped there, never a problem. Get the FedEx app for your phone, they will keep you updated every step & you can manage the shipment. I always ask dealers to ship FedEx & give me a tracking number, once I get that I have the shipment diverted to FedEx Office and pick it up there on my schedule.Never heard of a FedEx depot in Dedham.

I have to send a gun out for repairs in January for which I plan to use the FedEx station in Needham on 3rd Avenue. I am assuming that will be OK.OK, I know the place you (LLF) refer to. It's a storefront (ex Kinkos style) and actually illegal for them to take the guns or ammo. Only depots are "common carrier" status which makes it legal for them to handle gun shipments. Not your problem however.
That is a legit depot. I shipped a handgun out of there many years ago.I have to send a gun out for repairs in January for which I plan to use the FedEx station in Needham on 3rd Avenue. I am assuming that will be OK.
Got my ship label and shipped 12/21/17 from Peabody, delivered to Sig 12/26. Just got tracking email from Sig shipped back to me on 12/28 and to be delivered 1/2/18. The only thing I question Fed Ex is that going both ways, package goes by truck to Newark, NJ and comes back to Ma. Gun should get frequent traveler miles! Very impressed with the unbelievable turn around at SIG!!!
I'm not sending mine in; I'm not planning on dropping it. Have yet to drop a firearm and if I do it's because the other guy got the drop on me and I will have no need for a pistol/rifle after that. From what I hear the turn around has been very fast for those who choose the "upgrade".
I wish you could just bring it up to the pro shop. I've been holding out in hopes that they let us do that at some point. I've got two p320's, and every time I get around to thinking about this I read this thread and hold out a little longer.
FWIW sig is being a bunch of douchebags on this and they absolutely refuse to take pistols sent in from dealers. (which honestly is f***ing mind boggling, considering it would probably expedite service, cost them less money to ship the gun back, etc) This is a huge pain in the ass for me because it means I basically have to take time off from work to receive 2 handguns on the way back. And if they don't allow a diversion or hold, that is an even bigger punch in the groin. It's too bad they just don't have a network of armorers you can go to, send them a bundle of parts and go to an FFL and get it fixed. I'd even pay an armorer $50+ to do it rather than go through the bullshit.
ETA: They also wouldn't even take a drop off/pick up via the pro shop, already asked them about that, too. wtaf? christ.

they've stopped stocking 320 grip modules at the sig pro shop????I guess I’m the outlier when it comes to Sig customer service. I noticed a largely cosmetic machining flaw on one of my guns, sent them a few pics and a prepaid shipping label was emailed 2 days later.
Dropped it off at fedex and done. They’re replacing the slide for me at no charge.
Maybe the 320 process is different but I could’ve had it shipped to/from an ffl if I preferred.
They don’t want them dropped at pro shop because armorers and all small parts are at main facility. They have stopped stocking all small parts, even grips, at the pro shop.
