With the policy changes at FedEx and UPS in the last couple of years, I want to ask you guys.....how are you shipping your handguns now?  Since USPS will only ship long guns from a non-licensee, and FedEx and UPS now will not ship any firearms from a non-licensee, the only option I see left is to use an FFL on the selling side to ship the gun.  Is this what you guys are doing? 

All the added costs of buying from an individual on Gunbroker are a tough pill to swallow now....Tax, GB fees, shipping, and now FFL fees on both sides of the transaction.

I use Shipmygun.com, it's affordable, lawful, easy. I've used it on the few guns I have sold.
Only catch is you have to use a UPS terminal for drop off, can't use any drop-off point or UPS Store.

Make friends with an FFL holder...  mine charges me a 6 pack of beer to bring a handgun in and transfer to another FFL...  

Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....

It's easy for me just to drop it off at my FFL He sends all guns FedEx only charges me $10 to ship a gun and the shipping is lower. I may have to try this new Shipmygun see how it works.

I learned from the UPS gentleman at the nearest hub (terminal) to me, that the shipper can hand the "Ship My Gun" package to a UPS driver. That's much easier than driving to a terminal.

What is the best way to ship now?

  

It looks like the only 2 choices are through an FFL holder or Shipmygun.

I will have to check out ShipMYGun as shipping through my FFL would be an expensive way to ship.  Thanks
