Regarding Shipping a Firearm

[JohnTRourke]

Another vote for Fed Ex. Their clerks know their stuff, the firearms have always shown up right on time and way less surly than the UPS shippers.

remember, you have to go to a hub to ship, you can't do it from Kinko's/UPS store.

It's usually right around $25 to ship a long gun in CONUS (either UPS or FedEx)

NEVER use USPS for something you actually want to show up.

I'd vote for UPS if you are shipping as a non-FFL. They know the rules and are easy to deal with.

USPS is expensive on insurance and is terrible about paying claims.

FedEx is a gamble. Their tariffs are confusing so if you get an anti-gun clerk you are screwed.

UPS, straight forward, affordable, and don't care what your shipping.

Just a side note. UPS will not allow you to ship to yourself anymore. Now shipping to an FFL is easy for a non FFL at the hub here in the springs.

And I hate Fed Ex for home deliveries. There contract drivers do not give a shit at least here.
