PSA generally does not follow its shipping policy of needing a freight forwarder for Hawaii.   If PSA does message a freight forwarder, just try again later.

I tried to order a lower from Palmetto and that is ok.  Looks like Non FFL stuff has to be freight forwarded

Anyone order from PSA recently and use freight forwarding?  I tried to place an order but they no longer ship direct to Hawaii and Alaska.  I need to use a freight forwarder.  I’m going to contact PSA tomorrow to get info.

How was the experience using a freight forwarder?  Easy to set up? Any issues/problems?

If it is a pita, I’ll probably have PSA send the package to a relative on the mainland and wait till they visit Hawaii or have them mail it to me

The prices for their complete uppers/lowers, lower kits and deals are very reasonable.  And some stuff is/was free shipping.  I’ve never had an issue with them or their products.

Their value priced stuff makes for great range toys.

Bought an upper last month.  Delivered by UPS as usual.

Dang.   Just my luck.  I’ve been broke for months and when I finally have money, some stuff I wanted is out of stock and they change their shipping policy

Just called them this morning to confirm this. I wanted to buy a dagger slide and it will have to ship to a freight forwarder. They also wont let me ship it to a friends house in Vegas. They said that the billing and shipping address need to match.

Just have them pack it in the Matson containers with the other 30 tons of illegal fireworks. Then it's all good.

that sucks, was just looking at one of those 13.7" JAKL uppers, very tempting, not that I can afford it, though.

glad I got my PSA Dagger lowers, for $49.99, when I did, got that out of the way.

might as well unsubscribe from their daily emails.

I wonder what prompted the change...

So you can still get the JAKL :-)

Will they still ship uppers?

Only if using a  freight forwarder.

Or buy the whole rifle and they will ship to your FFL

Bummers

That sucks!
I used to buy all kinds from them.
Multiple uppers and 30 round mags. Mags Marked with the cannons in fact.
Straight UPS

I just ordered from them around Black Friday, and the website had that shipping policy about freight forwarder on there. But I gave it a shot and they shipped directly to my house.

But I only ordered 2 scopes. No actual gun parts. So idk

This is not a new policy, they’ve had that on their site for a while but it hasn’t affected any of my orders, both FFL and non-FFL.

Buy local since they're trying to ban parts as well.

so you mean they will ship direct? basically ignoring their own policy about having to use freight forwarders?

Thanks!!  I’ll reduce the # of stuff in my cart and cross my fingers!!

interesting.

so I went on the PSA website, added non-FFL stuff to my cart, and proceeded all the way through checkout to order review, and it seems to be normal.

maybe they have that on their "shipping restrictions" just to CYA.

nice, I really have my eyes on jakl stuff. hoping they will come out with interesting calibers. but i dont want to buy the whole firearm, just a kit.

My order was delivered by UPS on Wednesday.  No issues
