UPS-- I have never had a good experience with them. The somehow
broke the wrist on A Purdey double rifle shipped to me and nearly refused to make an adjustment on it. I have a long list of frustrations with them. I have nothing but good results with the USPS

I have been using a cheap foam lined plastic case. Not the long one but the " break-down" model. I put that in a tight fitting cardboard box to camo the gun case.
I use FedEx and insure the gun with my own insurance not theirs.
Oh yeah, I put the gun in the case.

I do all my shipping for repairs in such in a Perrazi hard case. You can drive an Abrams tank over it.

May not even need work on the trigger. There is a small spring underneath the top tang that gives the safety slide a bit of tension and provides a small bump for the safety slide to stay in place. The screw holding this spring may have loosened and no longer holding the slide in place. If this should be the problem it will be a one minute fix once the stock is removed. I had this happen once on a nice A&D actioned gun.
