Shipping firearm out of state

Looking back at previous posts I’m still unsure of what’s allowed. If Im selling a firearm to someone from another state, do i need to go through a FFL to send that firearm to their FFL? Or can I ship it myself?

    Depends upon the receiving dealer's policy. Ask them. Not unlawful to send it yourself. BUT, it may cost you more.

    ^^^This...you can usually ship to another ffl via your DL...  *but*, you need to see what your shipping and how....carries have differing policies...I find it easier to use my local 01ffl to ship....

    I was at a range/ffl today and asked the person doing my transfer about shipping handguns legally out of state. He told me it was illegal for a non-licensee to ship a handgun period. 
     

    truthfully, I just prefer shipping anything serialized through ffl to save myself headache and stress.

    Not sure about that, but I agree with your sentiment timwnt and have been doing it that way for most of the last 15years...easy peasy...as long as your ffl doesn't charge you a vig to do so.

    It's not illegal

     

    You can ship a rifle/ shotgun through the USPS:

    A handgun may be shipped with UPS if you follow their rules (expensive)

    Fedex only accepts shipments from FFL.
