Any guns I sell are now shipped by my FFL guy - handgun or long gun. USPS will not take a firearm from a non FFL here (I tried in Dec.). I think you will be into shipping at least $60 with the oversize package fee plus FFL transfer fee. They really are taking the fun out of trading guns.......
Shipmygun may be the best option left for a non FFL holder.
Your usps deserves to be properly educated. Call someone above whoever told you that.
USPS asks if your package contains any "liquid, fragile, perishable, potentially hazardous including lithium batteries........."............But they never ask the content.
