I agree that packaging is the most important factor when shipping a gun. You can't use too much bubble wrap or have too strong of a box. Always break down a gun if you can. I hate when I buy a Parker and it shows up in a one piece box for shipping a rifle. Nine times out of ten the box shows signs of being bent somewhere in the middle.
I also agree that Eastern insurance is a good way to go. By having a policy with them I know the gun is covered when shipping by common carrier. They are also covered in my home, when I have them on hunting trips both domestic & international, when at gun shows, shoots etc. The piece of mind I get by having my Eastern policy is probably some of the best money I spend on my gun/hunting passion every year.
