Fedex will only ship firearms if you have an account and jump hoops.

But, it was on the internet.  That means it has to be true, doesn't it ...

Well, it WAS on FedEx dot com. Aside from that, I can't tell you anything else as I neither work for FedEx nor use them. 

Could be their web site got hacked, I don't know?

So you actually saw it on their official site ?

I've only shipped one handgun, so I'm far from expert, but I found it much less expensive to take it to a local FFL holder and have him ship it. If you have an FFL (this was several years ago) you can ship a handgun via USPS. My other option was FedEx, but they required it to go next-day-air, which was stupid expensive. I think the local dealer charged $20 on top of the actual postage.

Who else can we use? I didn't think USPS allowed it.

In the past I have shipped long guns to FFL holders out of state using the post office.  You have to check the regulations and comply with the requirements wasn’t too difficult.  Even when you know the regulation, it doesn’t mean the postal employee or even the supervisor will know it. I have gone to a post office with the regulation in hand and been turned away, only to drive 5 miles to the next post office and ship without a problem.  
Used fedex to ship a pistol to a dealer years ago, it was expensive and the manager wasn’t happy about it.

I have used UPS for long guns several years ago and it’s was easy,
looks like an individual can ship long guns to an FFL.

I clicked on the link. It looked official to me. Also has "FedEx" in the domain name. I highly doubt lawyers would allow a parody or pirate site to exist. But I am certainly by no means a tech weinee.
