I like UPS better due to the ability to track package better than USPS.

I won't derail the thread but USPS has tracking online as well. IME ... UPS was always expensive and slower compared to USPS. But use what you're comfortable with.


To the OP...nice rifle. Surprised it hasn't sold

Thanks for the info folks, been quite some time I shipped a firearm. So USPS is ok with long guns?

Anyone shipped in the lower 48 to and from lately might have an idea what shipping runs. I was taking a guess earlier.

I've shipped numerous via USPS. Cost is dependent on to and from zip codes and weight and keep the total size (length + width + height) under 72" (I think that is number) or it jumps into oversize. I've never had a problem keeping it below that.

USPS has a shipping cost estimator on their website. From zip code. To zip code. Enter weight and dimensions. And an estimate is given. I've used it and it's within a few bucks in my experience (as long as you give it a good weight). I add signature required, a few bucks extra, but it lets you know it's been delivered and signed by whom.

I’ve used fedex and had great luck. Usually $17-23
Way better tracking than USPS.

Not as much as I thought, thanks. Is the cost shipping handguns much higher? A premium?

Thanks folks.

FedEx and ups say hand guns must be shipped overnight. USPS let’s FFL’s ship them, most will do so for about $20-25 I think.

That's why - overnight, got it, thanks much!

Ok, the virus is dying.....and folks will be itching to get some time at the range and in the field.
