Hopefully, it may be that UPS has already reversed their cancellation of Brownell's account based on public outcry and bad publicity. And that's why the post was removed. That doesn't mean it never happened. I really don't think SAF is going to publish a lie.
Neither did I, but it takes time to change website content, so that doesn't necessarily mean anything..... ... nor could I find anything on the company websites that were supposedly cancelled by UPS.

Except there have been plenty of other sources that aren't on YouTube saying the same things. So you could completely discount all YouTube content and still end up with the same "where there's smoke....." I really don't think they're all just echoing Chicken Little.....But I have learned to take most of these YouTubers with a grain of salt since they love to hype and over-sensationalize any and all news stories. Chicken Little is one of the worse ones about this.
Yeah, why would UPS want a piece of the $70 billion or so in firearms industry business annually? https://www.nssf.org/government-relations/impact/
Well, UPS did just recently add some troubling language to their prohibited items list:
https://www.ups.com/us/en/support/s...egulated-items/prohibited-items/firearms.page
Sure seems to fit the bill in establishing policy to reject shipment of 80% anything or any other non-serialized firearm.
Please do elaborate.Sure seems like you need to work on your reading comprehension skills.
Have you read 27 CFR § 478.12?The gist of it is that they're not going to help you break the law.
Any item that meets the definition of a firearm (including firearm mufflers or silencers) or a “frame” or “receiver” under federal law (including any partially complete, disassembled, or nonfunctional frame or receiver as defined by 27 CFR § 478.12) must be identified and bear a serial number in satisfaction of the requirements for identifying such items under federal law, including 27 CFR § 478.92 and/or 27 CFR § 479.102, regardless of whether any such items are otherwise exempt from or not subject to identification requirements under applicable law. This prohibition applies even before the effective date of 27 CFR § 478.12.

Again, from UPS's new policy, pertinent language bolded:
Any item that meets the definition of a firearm (including firearm mufflers or silencers) or a “frame” or “receiver” under federal law (including any partially complete, disassembled, or nonfunctional frame or receiver as defined by 27 CFR § 478.12) must be identified and bear a serial number in satisfaction of the requirements for identifying such items under federal law, including 27 CFR § 478.92 and/or 27 CFR § 479.102, regardless of whether any such items are otherwise exempt from or not subject to identification requirements under applicable law. This prohibition applies even before the effective date of 27 CFR § 478.12.
UPS has taken it upon themselves to refuse acceptance of perfectly legal 80% receivers by ignoring any exemptions to serial number requirements.
Yes. It would.If that is the case, it will effect more than just 80% frames and receivers. It will also effect any firearm made before the GCA of 1968 went into effect that never had serial numbers.
Is the Second Amendment Foundation a reliable-enough source for you doubting thomases?

... Confirmation bias is the idea that we tend to accept information unquestionably when it reinforces some predisposition we have or some existing belief or attitude....
What I'd like to know is how you got a copy of the letter (to make such a judgment about it) when the Brownell's post about the letter has been deleted from Facebook?...And I still doubt that the letter is authentic...

OK, I'm asking about the Brownell's situation, and that's not it.Follow the link in my post, above, to the THR thread in Legal I locked.
Good company ruined by stupid.
