Only way that I'd ship barrels or gun is USPS. Because they paid off within a month after filing my claim. Shipped Parker barrels that where damaged in transit. I insured for 1000.00, they paid me 975.00. This was after all the repair costs was added up. I gave them two estimates and they never asked any difference. I live in very small town and my USPS lady couldn't have been more helpful. She took the damage to my item personal and was so sorry that it happened. Like it was her fault.......I told her to not worry about it. They where just Parker barrels, no body died or anything!OOOOOOps did I say that? LOL,LOL,LOL
