I have two handguns I have been going to list on an Internet Auction and want to be specific what the shipping charge will be on them. I live twenty miles from a city of 100K+ and dropped by the UPS Center there. Not a USP Store but the place things are shipped from. I explained to the lady there I needed an approximate shipping amount on a handgun. I, of course, didn't know exactly where they would be going so the lady ran Florida on the computer. I live in the central US and she said the charge would be between $75 and $90. I about fell over. Has shipping increased that much since the last time I shipped? It was around $35 at that time. I asked her if dealers paid the same rate, she said Oh Yes.

Check with your local FFL and see if you can find one who will do the transfer for you. FFLs can use the USPS to mail to another dealer or manufacturer. Even with a FFL transfer fee figured in, it will probably come out cheaper than using UPS or FEDEX.
