The same trip to UPS was with another gun, boxed in the customer's high quality cardboard box, Bigger, Heavier, and going farther, but $12 less.
I built two boxes for guns going out next week, 1" Pine frame, 7/32" Plywood top and bottom, Cabinet screws all around, and wrapped in Cardboard this time. Most of the time, I'm returning a customers gun sent to me for case making and fitting, so I make sure they get back in one piece. My cases go out in Double wall U-Line cardboard boxes. $5 ea, but worth it.
