This applies ONLY to long guns (rifles). Handguns MUST be shipped by FFL. Period.
Shipped a firearm to another member here via USPS.
It was easy.
USPS Regs Here
What legal sites tell you is incorrect. They state you MUST use Priority Mail Express. Nope.
I will say, walking up to the clerks and saying, "I want to mail a firearm" produces a clear 'deer in the headlights' response.

Steps:
- Reach out to the FFL you are mailing it to and get a copy of their FFL certificate to present to the USPS clerk.
- Pack your gun properly, ensuring it is not loaded and no ammunition is in the box. You will need to include a front/back photocopy of your ID in with the firearm.
- Bring it in, boxed and sealed. There are no forms to fill out at the Post Office. They may ask to inspect, but that was not necessary for me today.
- Use Priority Mail, insure the firearm and pay for signature delivery.
- Get your receipt, notify the FFL and the party you are sending to.
