I think that the decision might be left up to the local post master. I conducted an informal survey of 10 post offices in middle Tn. All but this one accepted guns as long as there was a receiving FFL.

I guess it depends entirely on where you live and the attitude of the locals in those operations.
This kind of reminds me of the different TSAs around the US. If you fly a lot you'll find that they are inconsistent as well.
