I am preparing to ship a gun via USPS priority with a value of $2500 that I'd like to insure and the insurance alone is $25.00. With shipping, tracking, and insurance, I'm being quoted a bit over $50 by the online tools at USPS. How is it that folks routinely quote $25-30 shipping costs that include insurance? Am I using the wrong shipping method?

Thanks for any insight to more cost-effective shipping via USPS.
