I honestly do not like shipping guns in those sort or cases. Unless they are VERY well wrapped and blocked. You cannot rely on just the foam in the case. You would be amazed how much things can move around inside some of those cheaper cases.

I would use USPS. They are the only ones that do not have restrictions in their rules regarding shipping firearms (long guns). Except for that they are supposed to ship TO a licensed dealer or manufacturer if not an antique.

Yeah these do cost a couple of extra bucks in shipping over a cardboard box but not much more and then there's the expense of having it returned. With the value of these guns and the goons that handle them during shipping I am quite alright with a few extra bucks spent on shipping. Not 100% sure but I believe Allan Swanson pioneered the idea which I copied when a member sent a gun to me in one of these. Less than $20 in material and easy to build.
