I do the same. I use the United States Post Office. They are reasonably quick, cheap and they have never damaged a gun that I shipped, long or short. Requesting a signature prevents it being left on the porch.

Many distributors will NOT ship a gun except by overnight air via UPS or FedEx and that raises the cost considerably.

I often buy a gun somewhere during my frequent travels and simply mail it to my shop from wherever to prevent having to deal with in while traveling.

The USPS requires being notified that there is a gun in the package, but, does not require marking the package.
