If it goes between states, it has to go via a FFL (through 01 dealer or direct to 03 C&R). Some states have special rules for handguns. As seller doing the shipping, you have obligation to learn and observe the state's laws - but so does the buyer.

if you have any concern about the risk of sending it to someone you haven't dealt with before that might turn out to be prohibited, doing it through a 01 dealer ensures a background check is done when it's picked up and transferred off the 01's books.

Transfer via 01 dealers (often $15-$30) can save you more than the cost of the transfer paperwork since they can use USPS Priority Mail and avoid overnight express shipment through Fedex or UPS (which can run $100).

Some 01 Dealers will not accept shipments from a private individual (or 03 C&R licensee, for that matter). That is their choice.

Even on shipments within a single state, there may be laws that have to be observed. Within NC, you have to provide a Pistol Purchase permit (surrender it to the seller) or show a Concealed Carry Handgun permit (as seller, I keep a photocopy). Other states have a variety of laws.
