Does a C&R license satisfy the Post Office when shipping a handgun?

The short answer is that C&R license holders are not dealers or manufacturers so a C&R license holder is not allowed to mail handguns through the USPS. I've spent a lot of time on this in the past and if you want the long version, I'll be happy to post it but the short answer is no.

I know, it sucks!
 
So for those who do hold a C&R, what is the most economical route of shipment if you don't care about it being expedited. I understand that USPS isn't possible, but do you have to ship overnight?

I just got my C&R and wondered what the cheapest method of shipment is.

Congrats on the new C&R. To ship a handgun, UPS and FEDEX will only send by air. This is not a matter of federal law, it is the internal procedure set by each company. I have heard this was due to the amount of handgun thefts from their ground system but don't know this for a fact.

Long guns can be sent via USPS or ground UPS/FEDEX.
