A gentlemen wants to purchase a gun from me. I am not a FFL dealer. If he sends me a FFl- Can I ship him the gun to the FFL address? The woman at the post office is giving me some crap! I was reading the rules on gunbroker and they say that when a person purchases a gun from a non -FFL dealer-then the buyer needs to send a copy of the FFL to the sender and he must ship to the FFL address. Is this correct?

I've shipped numerous "long guns" through the USPS. If memory serves me right, I don't believe you can send a hand gun through the USPS. |

I strongly suggest that disguise the looks of your box when shipping a firearm. I usually box a rifle in its normal box and than put it in a triangular box, similar to what they ship blue prints in. Make sure you put two time's the insurance on it.

Life is uncertain but when morons can effect an outcome anxiety can take over.
I am not a lawyer but my personal policies are:
Avoid shipping firearms
If absolutely necessary to ship it avoid UPS or USPS - go FedEX. (my local UPS is anti)
Only ship a firearm for repair no sale or transfer unless to a FFL
Go next day.
Pack it well and make the box look like it contains some type of house hold item
Disassemble long guns and don't use any indication (if possible) that the addressee is in the gun business (Joe Smithfield vs Smithfield's Rifles)

WOW, that really sucks!
I totally agree with Stevey's advice. Man, I wish this had a better outcome for you, as that was a nice rifle! I'd be pissed too!
