Hi all,
Have a couple friends I'm assisting to do a private transfer with all the FFL, bill of sale etc. It's a sale from WA to CO. Can someone tell me are there any special rules for mailing/shipping a pistol beyond obviously going directly to the FFL who is conducting the transfer?

2Looks like just no ammo, no visible ID as a firearm, and declare it to the shipper... am I missing anything important?

4As I understand...
FFL's can ship between themselves using a variety of carriers. Mere mortals are limited. FedEx...maybe another.
If one has an FFL send to another FFL...?
But I may be mistaken.

5From Highdesert's FedEx link it sounds like private to FFL is permitted.

It is also very expensive.

8Find a cheap FFL on shipping who will send it for you via flat rate Priority Mail box. No declaration of firearm necessary in that case but up to the shipping FFL. That route may be cheaper than FedEx.

9Oh man, that's the way to go! Found an FFL that'll ship and transfer (source end) for $35.05 to our FFL here.

10FFL to FFL is way to go. My FFL charges $40 for shipping; $ 20 for 4473 form receiving. $40 is about half of what I'd have to pay +/- as an individual to ship. Still has to be FFL on receiving end to be legal unless the gun belongs to recipient.

11I know I’m chiming in late, but interstate transfers are required by law to go through an FFL. So it’s good you found one that cheap.

12When I had to send my P320 back to Sig, for the recall, oops, "Voluntary Upgrade" they sent me a pre-paid FedEx label (I think they sent a box, too--I have forgotten). I packed it up, sans mag, ammo, etc, took it to the local FedEx depot, told them it was a firearm. Ten days later it was delivered to my door...(Sig Sauer is, of course, an FFL)
