I was quoted $150 by UPS to ship a gun from Wisconsin to the east coast with $2,500 insurance. That seems high. Is this typical?

And that was for a standard ground shipment.

The UPS stores can charge ANY PRICE for insurance.
Send and insure at the REAL UPS, much cheaper NOT A UPS STORE
I had the same thing. A friend told me how to do it

I just had a SXS gun sent to me by my engraver via USPS priority 1 day mail. It was broken down in 2 soft cases in a double box. It was instate PA about 60 miles. I don't know if the distance were longer how much of an upcharge there would have been.

The total cost was $16.00

Last year I shipped a Citori via USPS from GA to Oregon or Washington state for $30-40, insured for 1K. That seemed reasonable to me. That was also a standard non-expedited service. Arrived without issues in about 5 days.

Remember that insurance at a UPS Store is void, they will take your money but you do not receive any insurance since in their fine print they do not ship or insure guns. Yes if you have a loss they will refund your insurance..Only ship from a UPS depot and not a UPS store, two different animals or ship USPS insured. Both will be cheaper then what you were quoted

My gun insurance policy covers loss/damage in transit. If yours does too, you can avoid paying the shipper's insurance charge.

I've actually stopped using UPS and went to the Post Office. Roughly $35 will ship and insure a gun to just about anywhere in the US of A.
