Once in awhile I sell a gun or some art. UPS policy is that a handgun be shipped 2nd Day Air..which runs about $40 with insurance, a Long gun they will ship Ground which is more reasonable. Most of my clients tend to balk at the cost of 2nd Day Air. I will ship Ground unless otherwise specified. I always insure as some of the items I ship will run several thousands of dollars.

I took a handgun in to be shipped with UPS, and the IDIOT clerk cut open the box and took my packaging apart to ostensibily see if it was loaded? After he was through I told him top reseal the package. I immediately left and went to Fed EX, which I have been very happy with and is for the most part a little cheaper. They will ship a handgun gun by ground which is a lot cheaper. So far I have not had any problems with damage nor theft...and my E-bay sales feedback notes I do a good job packaging.
