For those who have sold a gun and had to ship it somewhere...what is the cheapest legal method you have found for sending the gun?
I ask because I just sold a 1.5 lb pistol and because FedEx/UPS require priority overnight shipping on handguns...it cost me $109 in shipping alone. I called a local FFL and he told me it would cost the same through them.
If this is the case I guess I'll have to find a new way to sell these. If I lose $100 per gun to shipping it's not going to be worth it to get rid of them...I'd just as soon keep them in the safe.
