Paintball and USPS
SO accordint to the offical rule book of the United States Postal Service you can not ship paintball equipment. Not even parts unless you are a licensed dealer. The clerk even pulled out the rule book to show me. I found this interesting and annoying

I dont see where it says you cant ship paintball equipment, just not paintball guns. And of course to get by this, dont tell them whats in it, have it packaged before you get there (Also a lot of people dont know a paintball marker is a paintball gun).
Also dont use USPS because it takes forever to get packages (Found out priority 2-3 day isnt a guarantee but an estimate on how long the package is suppose to take to get there).
