I shipped two to Ohio on Tuesday via USPS from Virginia to a gunsmith for work. Both in the same box and packed quite well. They were shipped fully insured. They didn't ask what was in the box other then the usual (liquids, hazmat, explosives etc etc). Got there on Thursday and picked up yesterday with no damage by the smith. I have shipped from three different post offices in the area and have never been asked what was in the box. I don't list something "Bobs Firearms" on the label. I'll list Bob's full name. I've also done UPS is the past, but that had to be taken to a hub and that's too far away with the price of gas/traffic etc. The only complaint I have about USPS is they now charge $15 for an oversize package. My box was 32" long and that' considered oversize. Shipping 11 lbs to Ohio insured and priority mail was circa $100 bucks. Is what it is as they say.
