What FFLs are you using to ship guns and what do they charge for this service?

[Brass]

What's the going rate nowadays for outgoing shipments to FFLs for long guns and handguns?

I use the Outdoorsmans Attic on old Hampden in Sheridan.

Don't remember the cost but like the consigment store and the folks that work there so support them as I can.

I didn't know you needed an FFL to ship.

Depends to where and what it is. Long guns are ok to ship to an out of state ffl, Providing said ffl accepts from a non-ffl. Handguns, ffl-ffl., no questions there. There are some ffls, who still accept long guns from non-ffl's. Sadly that seems to be disappearing too, based on the FFL's ins co requirements, etc. One of my ffl's has no issue with long guns, a store front i deal with, their higher up say nothing from anyone except another ffl. I use them for transfers from davidsons, or other online vendors. Down here it's anywhere from $20-50.

Seems like $35-50 is going rate.

A friend recently had Green Mountain Guns ship a handgun and a rifle for him, different destinations-$180 for both, hmm. I’ve had both the UPS and FedEx hubs tell me they no longer accept firearms from individuals. I didn’t bother arguing. I’ve used Damage Factory in the past, ran about $60 including all fees.

Doc45, thank you for that great info, it's exactly what I was looking for!

BTW, I haven't seen much discussion about USPS around here, but I find their Registered Mail service to be the best for shipping long guns. Very reasonably priced and they have paranoid-level security for insured Registered Mail. I just wish they'd start shipping handguns as well for non-FFLs.

I don't know if this will work for you but this company might be helpful in many situations.

This service seems to be for you to generate a label to ship to a FFL, but still has you take it to the UPS customer care center. Has anyone used this service since UPS implemented their new policy.

UPS accepts packages containing Firearm Products for shipment only as a contractual service and only from Shippers who are licensed importers, licensed manufacturers, licensed dealers, or licensed collectors (as defined in Title 18, Chapter 44 of the United States Code) to authorized recipients, as outlined in the approved UPS agreement for the transportation of Firearm Products.

To transport packages containing Firearm Products, the Shipper must enter into an approved UPS agreement for the transportation of Firearm Products.

Ship my gun, Yes, I?ve used it. When you take it to the counter with a label already on it they don?t seem to ask as many questions. I just dropped it off and asked for a scanned in receipt to show they received it.

I used to use a local FFL to ship handguns because they could ship them priority mail, cheaper than overnight or 2nd day like UPS and FedEx were requiring. He charged the priority mail plus $25, typically worked out to about $45-$50.
