Shipping guns - Insurance costs

If you have insurance coverage through one of the Carriers specializing in insurance for firearms there is a good chance that coverage is afforded to some degree within that policy. Terms will vary from Carrier to Carrier and could be a % of your base amount of coverage as well which could limit it. I insure my shipments for the amount of my deductible and hope to never need it.

That's what I do as well. It has already saved my premium for the year.

Hey guys, I'm going to chime in on this one. I always send firearms through the US Postal Service. I am insured several times over on all of my firearms, but I always purchase the insurance from USPS...........guess I just like being double covered. Sending an item 2 day priority mail to Kansas (Phil you know what this is!!) the insurance for $4,000 was $67.00. I thought it was a pretty good deal................but that's just me.
