I know for a fact that no matter how you ship guns, there will be some "empty boxes" show up at the destination. Or not heard from at all...

Been going on for years.

Of course all the guns have the serial numbers entered into the NCIC computers, and are on the ATF's watchlist too.

Yet, still it goes on. frown


I totally accept that as true. There will always be thieves.

Is there a preferred method of shipment that is safer? Would insurance make it more likely that packages would get through? Thanks.


The guns are usually insured when shipped. It doesn't cut down on the theft. The people that steal them are lower end workers (package handlers) and don't care about who they cause the loss with...even their own company.

I think UPS has probably a higher incident rate, but that could be because higher percentages of firearms are shipped UPS because of the affordability.
