I do not. As someone mentioned, our official UPS center also closed for drop offs. So I called the SMG number on the letter SMG gives you when you order a label and they told me I can now take it to a UPS Store, the retail one where you return all your wife’s Amazon packages…. You put no markings on the box and I do not say anything about what’s in it, as per instructions. They go right through.
Yes, the LGS store selection is for the area you are sending it. I try to use a preferred one so there is no hassle. If the buyer wants an LGS that is not listed or is not preferred then it is more of a hassle as that LGS has to get set up with SMG. In my ads I just note that it must go to a store that’s preapproved on SMG. There is one just about everywhere as SMG is a service that was or is connected to Buds Gun Shop.
