Are there any special legal requirements for shipping a complete upper?

I haven't done it before; although I know technically it's not a firearm, I want to stay away from any trouble with Fedex, UPS etc...

Any advice is appreciated.

Nope, it's just a gun part

No, just box it up with your carrier of choice and you're good to go.

It is not a serial numbered piece and since it's not considered a firearm, UPS or FedEx can't bitch.

i just shipped one USPS,





insured, shipped, and delivery confirmation for $15.70





Used a priority/express mail triangle box. wrap it in bubble wrap, then fill loose space with newspaper.
Insurance was half the cost of shipping in this case.

I have purchased many uppers from LaRue and the way they ship it which causes no damage to the item is:

Put the upper in a hard cardboard tube container and then put the tube container in a cardboard box.  Pack the tube with packing material as well as the box.
