Do you need a FFL to ship a rife?

I want to ship a rifle to someone's ffl, do I need to have a ffl ship it for me or can I take it to ups and ship it from them?

Legally, you can ship it yourself. But some FFLs have a policy of only receiving firearm shipments from other FFLs. You need to contact the receiving FFL to see if he will accept a shipment directly from you.
