Seems like a waste of money to me but its your money, and not sure how it changes the risk of shipping your AYA.Your in the clear from a legal standpoint thou if you ship to yourself thou and no FFL is required.

I had to train the local post office on the USPS regulations of shipping long guns. I did that by printing out regulations and taking them to the top dog here in town. After that it has been very easy and no problems.

I agree with A-Mike. The first shotgun I shipped from local post office took a while. Clerk mystified by my request; I asked for the Postmaster. I stood patiently in the corner (They didn't ask me to face the wall) until the queue cleared plus a few minutes. The PM finally appeared. I showed him the receiver's FFL copy, told him what I was shipping, asked HIM to read his regs for the pertinent content. He did; he was satisfied, the gun shipped. I have had no problem since shipping either longarms to buyer's receiver. I luv the PO!d

I shipped a shotgun for repair last week. The USPS didn't ask me what it was, just the usual "explosives, corrosives, flammable" questions. I told them, though, because I insured the gun for %5K.

It's expensive to ship if you insure the gun, and foolish to ship if you don't. It cost me $50 for insurance, and $16 for shipping.

It's not required that you disclose to USPS that you are shipping a firearm.
