I just shipped a gun from Colorado to Michigan via-usps registered. It took twelve nerve wracking days. When the package arrived it was damaged on the outside and the goofy paper tape they make you use was missing in several places. During the whole ordeal I couldn't track it using the usps tracking system. After seven days of not being able to track it, I went to the post office branch I mailed it from and even they couldn't find it their system. All the clerk would do is shrug his shoulders and tell me to be patient. I've never shipped anything that was this slow.
This experience has made me very reluctant to use usps registered again.
