I've got a few things that have to find new homes. I was going to put on gunbroker until I got to the shipping part. Which lets us individuals ship nowdays..... A couple of years ago I had a hell of a time shipping a garand to sprinfield armory by UPS.

You can use USPS for long guns only. FFL to FFL can use USPS for handguns.

UPS & Fed Ex policy is you must send handguns next day...if you do not and it is lost or damaged they are not obligated to pay insurance claims.

Straight from my FFL.
