I suspect this is a fairly new policy and you're right, it seems to be imposed on a station-by-station basis. There's no mention of it on the
UPS: Shipping Firearms page.
Despite this, I was turned away when shipping a handgun to an out-of-state gunsmith last month because I didn't have a "physical copy of the receiving dealer's FFL". I had the number, mind you. The gunsmith was happy to fax me a copy, marked "File Copy Only".
When I complained at UPS, saying the requirement was not mentioned in the official UPS guidelines, I was told it was a policy imposed by "UPS Security".
