    UPS vs FedEx next day shipping for handgun.... $$$$$???? Cheapest?

    I need to send the frame of my Glock 19 to an FFL in Bismarck North Dakota.
    Would anyone know off hand who is cheaper? I know I can go on their sites and get an estimate but was hoping maybe someone recently shipped a handgun and knew off hand. Thanks

    Might be cheapest to go thru reasonable FFL who can use USPS

        I consistently use FedEx due to the "flat rate small box" they provide.

        Free material, flat rate shipping. UPS does not have such a service.

        The fate of the wounded rest in the hands of the ones who apply the first dressing.

          Only if you don't care about the value of the shipment; the carrier can deny payment if the contents is not accurately declared.

          But, interstate to an FFL, as in this case, it would be legal per FedLaw.

          Frozen in 2015, it is falling out of date and I can no longer edit the content. But much of it is still good!

              Shipping a firearm frame. Don't pick the cheapest. Pick the most reliable. Fed ex
              Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.

                I have shipped pistol FRAMES with USPS Priority mail without problems and YES it is legal. I checked with my post office before I did. You cannot ship a whole pistol.
