You can ship firearms to yourself. The postal service will do it, but it's easier to use UPS. UPS requires firearms be shipped Next Day air. If you don't want to do next day air. break the firearms down and ship them in 2 different boxes. (Now you are shipping parts).

thank YOU for playing, you are also wrong, partly.
parts are parts are parts except to when you get to the lower receiver, or frame, that part is serialized and is not considered a 'part' by the ATF, its the firearm.
what you suggest would work, and is what I would do, and is 100% legal, I just wanted to address the "parts" nonsense. This is a VERY bad subject to go spreading misinformation about. Also, what hrdwareguy suggested IMO should only be tried for long guns, from what I have been told, theres some gray areas doing this with handguns (even if sending from one place where no special permits are needed for posession to another).
Even with the long guns, I think there is a bit of a gray area, I'll do some searching around, go ahead and do whats been suggested, but I want to clarify and refine this for future questions in a 100% clear and concise no nonsense fashion.
