Hey guys, I never shipped a firearm before as all my sales are usually local. I am thinking about throwing my XDS up in the EE but want to know what im getting myself into before I do. I know I have to ship to FFL but who do you usually ship through? What would the expected rate range be to ship an XDS in its factory hard case which I would think is about 1.5' x 1.5'
thanks |

Quoted:
Cost is about $50 to ship it yourself via UPS or FedEx. If you have a gunshop you frequent, it's often cheaper to pay them a little bit to ship it since they can ship USPS. (about $14) The last pistol I shipped cost $138 through FEDEX. I think the $50 days are gone.  They won't even let you use the next day air saver anymore. One of the local dealers here has a business attached to his FFL that is not gun related. He charges handing, freight, insurance and actual shipping which comes to about $100. Then he ships USPS Registered Mail. That is the slowest mail in the USPS and can take weeks at times to get there. Do you think I use him.....lol?
