When I get some of my larger medical devices they come in a wooden crate (think the "major award" lamp scene in Christmas Story). You could individually bubble wrap them and put them in a wooden crate for security.

My buddy the FFL sold a M2 several years ago. From NC to Washington State. He and I boxed it up, in a crate and he drop shipped it. We just had to take it to a shipping facility, IIRC it was Barnes trucking. They put it on a flatbed and drove it.

He told the shipper it was a machine gun, but the driver had no ideas, even had gps tracking to keep up with it. It wasn’t really expensive either.

How would the FFL transfer process work, if they come and get them? Can they do the transfer here, then take them guns home to another state? I wouldn't want them to just come and get the guns and transport themselves back home. Got to go through the FFL, first, right?

They have to be thru a FFL if it goes across state lines, unless it’s shipped to yourself.

Look into https://www.uship.com/ depending on how big/heavy your load is, where it's going, etc. The shippers should be able to help with necessary requirements.

Are you shipping for yourself, selling them or giving to someone? I can’t tell from your post. This may help:

From this info it seems as though you are selling to someone out of state.
The buyer must pick the guns up from a receiving ffl in his state not yours.

Thanks. Just checked with them. Unfortunately, they do not ship firearms.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Yes, selling.

I'm just planning ahead for a potential sale of a group of firearms. Thinking out loud.

Are they pistols or rifles? Are all of the guns going to one buyer?

What about you and your FFL figure out the best way to ship (I know that's the burning question and thread topic) and then your FFL ships to the buyer's FFL and you pay the cost? Unless I were selling straight to a family member, that's about the only way I would personally want the transaction to go down...create a paper trail that gives you indemnity should something go awry. Looks like Mustang-PaPa touched on that...

Yes, a friendly FFL will have access to less expensive shipping methods than you will.

Handguns usually ship USPS in a flat rate box. Last I checked both Fedex and UPS required either 1 or 2 day shipping, I forget which, and it gets pretty expensive. Any handgun I've taken in or sent out has been USPS and they do typically have to travel from FFL to FFL.

I would imagine its hard to beat the cost of an FFL to FFL via USPS flat rate box(s). depending on the gun(s) they probably go multiple per box,but I did not check the regulations on that.
