Kahr PM9. Gun weighs 14 oz, plus 2 mags at about 2 oz each. Packed in a small box with foam packing. I can't imagine any handgun weighing 5 lbs, you must be using some serious packing materials.what kind of handgun was that?
Fedex requires Express Priority Overnight. What do you mean by Saver options? Please elaborate.First off stop using priority fedex or ups use the Saver options. that will save you about $15.

FedEx Express can only accept and deliver firearms between areas served in the U.S. under the following conditions: (1) you agree to tender shipments of firearms to us only when either the shipper or recipient is a licensed manufacturer, licensed importer, licensed dealer or licensed collector and is not prohibited from making such shipments by local, state or federal regulations; (2) the shipper and recipient must be of legal age as identified by applicable state law.
Firearms must be shipped via FedEx Priority Overnight service. FedEx cannot ship or deliver firearms C.O.D. or with a signature release. Upon presenting the package for shipment, the person tendering the shipment to FedEx is required to notify the FedEx employee who accepts the package that the package contains a firearm. The outside of the package must not be marked, labeled or otherwise identify that the package contains a firearm. Firearms shipments cannot be placed in a FedEx Express Drop Box.
You must ship your packages that contain handguns with UPS Next Day Air Early A.M.®, UPS Next Day Air®, or UPS Next Day Air Saver® services
I shipped my Kel Tec in for service and paid less than $8 because I shipped it UPS ground. I wrote in the space for what I was shipping, "Machine Parts".
Me too..!! When I ship, take it apart....send it USPS in two different shipments...insured...and "technically" you are not shipping a "firearm"
