Shipping pistols.

WOW, wow Boy I will never ship a hand gun on my own dime again. I made a trade and love the Itialion Beretta I got, but 109.44 to UPS. Wow.

Take it to your friendly local FFL and have them mail it.

Yep, the first time I shipped one I made the same mistake, only after the fact did I find out that my FFL charges around $30

Problem is the FFL’s around me won’t do it.

Same here and if they do, they want about as much if not more. Then ship when they get the time.

Wow. Fair price. Anybody tried it?

I use FedEx 2nd day air.  It doesn't cost near what UPS charges.

Have you used this service?

My local FFL ships handguns for me USPS priority $20-25.

I just don't sell across state lines. Make sure to get a copy of their valid driver's license and preferably a concealed carry permit along with a bill of sale.

That works for me with people I know well. For people I do not know I want to go through an FFL, $20.00 gets me piece of mind. Shipping to an FFL is safe and easy but I can understand not wanting to deal with the costs.

I am very lucky.  My FFL doesn't charge for outbound shipments; I just pay him the cost of shipping.  He charges me $25 for receiving guns.  If you need a guy in Northern Virginia, let me know.
