Exactly what DK said. As an FFL01, I ship via USPS. It's economical.
My very first USPS shipment experience encountered issues described in earlier posts. All I did was stand my ground with properly packaged handguns and form 1508 in hand until they obliged. Initial clerk refused and was upset with the notion of handguns being processed through USPS. Supervisor was unaware and also claimed it was illegal. I provided a printed copy of USPS regulations. That supervisor called someone and obtained the necessary procedure for handling. It was a learning experience for everyone at my local post office. By the conclusion of that visit, we all got to know each other fairly well. Supervisor concluded with, "You taught me something new today."
They're now very happy to process my shipments. Business operations continue!
