UPS requires overnight delivery due a series of internal firearms thefts in the late 90's. I was present at a local shop when a new Glock was delivered by UPS in circa '98. The gun hard case was in the box, and was empty. The strapping tape had been slit with a razor(?) and carefully re-taped.

Never label the outside of a box as a firearm. If the carrier requires this (I have never heard of it) find another carrier.
