If you are not a FFL, you basicly have two choices: UPS or FedEx. Both companies' policies require that the shipper be at least an 03 FFL but they don't always ask. FedEx must go Next Dat early AM deliverly, while UPS only requires Next Day Air. Neither are cheap.

Actually, UPS will only take pistols... and I think firearms in general... from an FFL.
You'll probably end up having to go to an FFL and have him ship it. |

I'm an 03 FFL, so no problem there.

use Fedex online, print up your own label , pack it up and drop it off. You save 10% doing it on-line and there is no hassel when you take it in. They say thanks and you leave. never once have they ever asked what's inside. If they ever do , it's sporting goods. Short ,sweet and simple.

the ATF clearly states a non-licensee can ship a firearm to an FFL as long as you do not use USPS. You may also ship your own guns to yourself (i.e. hunting trip out of state) and out for repair. J |

I do believe that an FFL holder can ship even handguns USPS to another FFL.

FedEx charged me $78 to ship a handgun from Vegas to Alaska a few months ago.

I tried to convince him to move to at least Washington but he said I was crazy.

An 03 C&R FFL cannot ship handguns through the USPS like an 01 FFL (dealer) can. The cheapest way is to have your dealer send it to another 01 FFL dealer via USPS PM which will run about $10 plus insurance plus any fee your dealer charges you, if any. The USPS can only be used to ship handguns between dealers or between manufacturers and dealers, and the 03 C&R is for collectors, so you cannot use USPS for handgun shipping.
