SHIPPING STORES (MAILBOXES ETC., ETC.) ARE MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN GOING DIRECTLY
TO THE SHIPPER.  ALSO, IN A WORST CASE SCENARIO, THE SHIPPER WILL SAY IT'S THE STORES
FAULT AND THE STORE WILL SAY IT'S THE SHIPPERS FAULT AND MEANTIME, YOU LOOSE.
 

FEDEX IS THE MOST RELIABLE AND THE MOST ECONOMICAL FOR SHIPPING HANDGUNS OVERNIGHT. FEDEX WILL ALSO SHIP LONG GUNS BY GROUND FOR ABOUT HALF OF WHAT THE POST
OFFICE WILL.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS: YOU CAN SHIP ALL FIREARMS BY FEDEX FOR LESS
MONEY AND BE SAFER DOING IT.

FROM THE FEDEX GROUND WEB SITE:

Firearms
FedEx Ground will transport and deliver firearms (excluding handguns) as defined by the United States Gun Control Act of 1968,
between areas served in the U.S., but only between:
Licensed importers; licensed manufacturers; licensed dealers; licensed collectors; law enforcement agencies of the U.S. or any department or agency thereof; and law enforcement agencies of any state or any department, agency or political subdivisions thereof; or
Where not prohibited by local, state and federal law, from individuals to licensed importers, licensed manufacturers or licensed dealers (and return of same).
If your shipment contains firearms, select the Direct Signature Required or Adult Signature Required Delivery Signature Option, depending on the requirements of your shipment. See the Delivery Signature Options section for details. Firearms shipments are not eligible for signature release, driver release or indirect delivery.
FedEx Ground cannot ship or deliver firearms C.O.D.
Upon presenting the package for shipment, the person tendering the shipment to FedEx Ground is required to notify FedEx Ground that the package contains a firearm. The outside of the package must not be marked, labeled or otherwise identify that the package contains a firearm.
The shipper and recipient must be of legal age as identified by applicable law.
The shipper and recipient are required to comply with all applicable government regulations and laws, including those pertaining to labeling. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives can provide assistance.
FedEx Ground will transport small-arms ammunition when packed and labeled in compliance with local, state and federal law, and the Hazardous Materials section of this Service Guide. Ammunition is an explosive and must be shipped separately as hazardous materials. You agree not to ship loaded firearms or firearms with ammunition in the same package.

HERE'S A LINK TO THE FEDEX GROUND WEB SITE. THE SUBJECTS ARE LISTED ALPHABETICALLY SO LOOK FOR "FIREARMS".
 FEDEX GROUND RULES
...............................................................
HAND GUNS
OVERNITE SERVICE IS NOW REQUIRED FOR HANDGUNS BEING SHIPPED BY UPS AND FEDEX. BECAUSE OF THIS, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO SET A STANDARD RATE FOR SHIPPING HANDGUNS DUE TO THE HUGE
VARIANCE IN PRICES DEPENDING ON PACKAGE SIZE, WEIGHT AND DESTINATION.
(PLEASE SEE "PAYMENT METHODS" BELOW)
(ALSO SEE THE NOTE BELOW)
...............................................................
A NOTE ON SHIPPING HAND GUNS
THE FRAME OF A HANDGUN IS CONSIDERED A "FIREARM" BY ATF BUT IT'S ONLY A PART
AS FAR THE SHIPPERS ARE CONCERNED. MANY OF OUR CUSTOMERS WILL PARTIALLY DISASSEMBLE THEIR HAND GUN, KEEP CERTAIN PARTS AT HOME AND SHIP THE REST
OF IT TO US AS "PARTS". THAT'S FINE WITH US AND A LOT CHEAPER FOR THE CUSTOMER.
...........................................................................

...............................................................
PLEASE NOTE:  SHIPPING PRICES ARE DETERMINED BY WEIGHT, DESTINATION AND THE AMOUNT OF INSURANCE PLACED ON THE PACKAGE.  DO NOT OVER PACK
OR OVER INSURE THE PACKAGE. WEIGHT IS MONEY AND THE SHIPPER WILL
ONLY PAY  REPLACEMENT PRICE ANYWAY! THE BEST PACKING  CONTAINER
IS A HARD PLASTIC GUN CASE INSIDE A LIGHT WEIGHT CARDBOARD BOX
OR OTHER COVERING TO DISGUISE  IT.

NOTE: THIS DOES NOT APPLY IF YOU WANT US TO BILL YOUR CREDIT CARD
FOR THE RETURN SHIPPING. SEE OPTION # 2 BELOW.
...............................................................
HANDGUNS:
OVERNIGHT SHIPPING IS REQUIRED ON HANDGUNS.  THIS IS NOT OUR CHOICE! IT'S A REQUIREMENT BY THE SHIPPERS. DUE TO THE HUGE DIFFERENCES IN SHIPPING PRICES, WE CAN NOT SET A STANDARD RATE FOR THEM. THEREFORE. WE HAVE COME UP WITH THE FOLLOWING FOUR PAYMENT METHODS. TAKE YOUR CHOICE.

NUMBER ONE: GO TO THE SHIPPER TO SHIP YOUR HANDGUN PACKAGE BUT LEAVE THE BOX UNSEALED. PAY FOR THE SHIPPING FROM YOU TO US, ADD THAT SAME AMOUNT TO THE JOB FEE, WRITE A CHECK FOR THAT FULL AMOUNT AND INCLUDE IT IN THE BOX. SHIPPING PRICES FROM YOU TO US WILL BE CLOSE
ENOUGH TO THE SAME AS FROM US BACK TO YOU.

NUMBER TWO: INCLUDE A CHECK OR A MONEY ORDER FOR THE JOB FEE AND A CREDIT CARD NUMBER FOR THE RETURN SHIPPING. WE WILL RETURN SHIP VIA FEDEX AND THEY  WILL BILL YOUR CREDIT CARD FOR THE SHIPPING FEE. THIS AMOUNT WILL BE EXACT SHIPPING ONLY WITH NO EXTRA FEES.

NUMBER THREE: IF YOU HAVE A SHIPPING ACOUNT NUMBER WITH FEDEX, INCLUDE A "RETURN SHIPPING TICKET" OR THE ACCOUNT NUMBER AND WE'LL USE THAT FOR THE RETURN TRIP.

NUMBER FOUR:  CREDIT CARDS  ARE NOW ACCEPTED VIA PAYPAL. FOR HANDGUNS,  ADD WHATEVER IT COSTS YOU TO SHIP IT TO US AND ADD THAT SAME AMOUNT TO THE JOB FEE. THEN CLICK ON THE PAYPAL BUTTON BELOW FOR CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS.
