I ship with UPS at a UPS shipping center.As long as the gun is going to an FFL they have no problem with it.I always take a copy of the receiving FFL to show to the clerk just to be safe.None of the UPS stores in my area will take guns of any kind.The post office is just a pain to deal with because they do not know the law.

I used to do a fair amount of this. I created an online account with FedEx and used online shipping. Put the label on the box and drop it at FedEx as a prepaid shipment. Never had a problem.
All shippers have problems but in all the shipping I did in the past FedEx was the easiest to file a claim with and actually get paid.

Yeah, I've had less problem with FexEx accepting shipments than with UPS. USPS is easiest, but not sure I'd trust them lately.

I do about 90% my firearm shipping via usps, but these days they are clearly struggling. I sent 3 sheets of paper to the NFA office in WV in a UPSP Priority envelope. I was quoted 4 days (Saturday) which was longer than normal. Was not delivered till Tuesday! $8.25 includes insurance and the ability to track the envelope and be pissed off because it took 7 days.

I think you can buy as much insurance as you want on anything you ship USPS. One thing to note, if you file a claim and get paid, you don't get to keep whatever the thing you claimed is. USPS owns it if they pay the claim. So if they pay a claim on a chipped toe, or a broken front sight, you get the money but lose the gun.

I take my rifles to Staples for UPS shipping. None of the young folk working there bat an eyelid at the fact it's a rifle. One young fellow was ex-military, and was interested in rifles. The UPS stores and hardware stores I used years back got anxious over shipping guns.
