In South Carolina, an individual may deliver a firearm to a common carrier for the purpose of shipping or transferring the firearm. Common carriers include the United States Postal Service (USPS), Federal Express (FedEx), and United Parcel Service (UPS). In order to deliver a firearm to a common carrier, the individual must ensure that the firearm is unloaded and contained within a locked hard-sided container or locked gun case. The individual must also provide a valid government-issued photo identification (such as a driver’s license or passport) and provide the common carrier with the recipient’s name, address, and phone number. The individual must also sign a form provided by the common carrier that declares the firearm is unloaded and contains the individual’s name, address, and phone number. It is important to note that South Carolina does not require common carriers to obtain a license to ship firearms. However, it is the responsibility of the individual delivering the firearm to ensure that the firearm is being shipped to an individual or business that is legally allowed to possess the firearm. Different types of South Carolina delivering a firearm to a common carrier are USPS, FedEx, and UPS.
