I always use Priority insured mail with Delivery Confirmation. For the best security, use Registered mail. It's slower (for a reason), but the most secure way to ship any valuable item. And is less expensive than Priority Insured for the most part.

Just walk in like you know what you are doing. Hand them the Form 1508( or ask for a Form 1508 if you don't have one) with the parcel. If they ask, tell them that you are federally licensed to sell and receive hand guns.

I agree with Ron.

With one exception, I have always used USPS for handguns never had any problems.

The difference between priority insured and registered is that a basic insurance is included in the registered and the rates for the excess are lower than than regular insurance. So for higher value items, registered tends to be cheaper.
