How much does it cost to ship a long gun these days?

Three days would be express mail. $$$$

Sounds expensive.

I have asked FFLs for extra shipping boxes. They get lots.

WRONG - USPS will ship long guns (about $35). Use shipmygun if it's a handgun. I have used 4' fluorescent light boxes to ship.

Fud from 9cal. I ship long guns with them all the time. Lots of clueless people on here. And never use 3 day for longs more FUD. Fluorescent lamp boxes work fine.

Here you go:

May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U.S. Postal Service?

A nonlicensee may not transfer a firearm to a non-licensed resident of another state. A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of their own state or to a licensee in any state.

The U.S. Postal Service recommends that long guns be sent by registered mail and that no marking of any kind which would indicate the nature of the contents be placed on the outside of any parcel containing firearms.

Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun.

USPS recently raised rates for items over 33". Went from $15 to $30 to ship a baseball bat.
