Firearm Shipping FFL in PDX?

[Art_Vandelay]

Any recommendations on an FFL that will ship a firearm at reasonable prices?

I usually use Adaptive Firing Solutions, but he's out until next week. Tigard Pawn is nearly $100. Same with Pacific Pawn. Called a bunch others that won't do it.

And yes, I know I can ship it myself, but the buyer needs FFL to FFL.

Thanks in advance.

Why does the buyer need FFL to FFL? If that's the case, charge him...

Because some FFLs do not accept individual transfers.

Check Tigard Pawn 4 More or Threat Dynamics. I don't know for a fact that either will ship outbound but that's where I would start.

OP said Tigard Pawn 4 More was nearly $100.

Gonna use Money Market Pawn since they seem a bit more reasonable. Thanks all.

$100 at Tigard Pawn? I was told it was $40 plus freight/insurance?

I think that's wrong. I was at Tigard Pawn last week and recall seeing a sign which stated $40 fee plus shipping/ins costs.

Yep, use them, $50 fee + actual shipping, I've used them a few times, always great

I recently used ship my gun for a shipment to VA. I did have to call the number they give you for a higher up at UPS but they did take it at the Tigard location. It was far less expensive.

It's been a while, but I've used Tigard Pawn 4 More half a dozen times because they were generally cheapest.
How does the $100 break down, fees, postage, insurance etc ?

It's not $100. OP put out bad wrong info. Tigard Pawn is $40 fee plus shipping/ins cost. Call them to verify.

Lol it wasn't bad information. The guy I called quoted me that and said depending on type of firearm, insurance, and where it's going, it could be $80-90+.

So yes, I may have exaggerated a hair with "nearly" $100, but pretty close enough. After calling around they seem to be on par with most of the Pawn shops around town. I've used them many times for transfers. Good folks.

Appreciate the replies everyone. Now at least we have several options of where to go

It can really add up, with insurance, adult signature etc. Especially if shipping an expensive long gun. I always try to get a local sale with a FTF transfer at the FFL. Although for a larger buyer base one has to offer shipping.

shipmygun has been my go to pending the receiver chooses an FFL on the preferred FFL list, much cheaper than shipping from an FFL in person. They send you a paper waiving the Fedex(or UPS i cant remember) FFL to FFL requirement.

Used shipmygun.com once recently and was successful but a hassle most of the time because many FFLs are not listed and takes a while to verify and list a new FFL. The price was reasonable around 40.00 to ship a handgun. Also used Money Market Pawn cost about 50.00 to ship a handgun. A rifle would be more spendy because of the oversized package and weight.

For those that have used Shipmygun.com, how long does it take to get the handgun box and prepaid label from them?

You provide your own box. If the receiving FFL is on thier list labels are in your email within hours.
