Default Thanks

I figured I could ship it on my own,
Gander wanted $75.00 to just ship it .. WOW....
They thought I needed to go threw a dealer ..
After calling a couple other local dealers , they said they would ship it for me but was not necessary ..
I have also shipped in the past a couple pistols back and was told next day only . Thats how they went , .
I,ll definatley keep the packaging in mind ,
Be so close to Christmas I may just wait until January because of all the packages flying around..

Bigbulls is correct about everything except one....you DO NOT have to ship a handgun overnight. More urban legend.

Last time I shipped a revolver to Smith & Wesson I shipped it UPS regular ground and did not ship overnight.

UPS may have a rule asking for overnight shipping and might void insurance if you do not ship overnight but there is no gov't regulation for overnight shipping.
According to UPS and Fed-X they will not ship a hand gun except over night air. The post office will not ship hand guns. Though there is no federal regulation requiring over night shipping the private carriers will only ship hand guns over night.

The shipper is required by federal law to declare to the carrier that they are shipping a firearm.

$75.00 is a fair price to ship the gun.... 35 bucks for a transfer and 35 bucks to securely pack and ship it is more thank reasonable, i do this all day and can tell you shipping items CORRECTLY is not cheap...
