Who has the most reasonable rates to ship handguns?

I don't feel like getting my ass reamed because I have to sell some guns.

If you're near Anchorage, our member Viper is a good FFL with cheap transfer fees not sure how he charges for a multiple transfer.

UPS is cheaper than Fed ex you need to have a copy of the FFL you are shipping the pistols too. You don't need to have an FFL on the shipping end just has to be shipped to an FFL down south

Both require that you use the overnight service on handguns
If you use a FFL, they can ship via USPS and it's like $13 for flat rate + what ever they charge for doing the service, usually MUCH cheaper than shipping through a common carrier
Also, you are required to inform them that it contains a firearm when shipping (common carriers)

If you have a reasonable FFL then that is a good way to do it. However prices vary for handling fees. I generally just ship pistols myself. To each his own. As for letting them know your right and most require you to have a copy of the persons FFL you are sending it to unless they have it on file as I said earlier.

How do you ship a handgun to yourself? Lawfully that is.  I know ATF regs allow it, but no carrier I'm aware of allows it per their policies.
