I've always printed my own shipping label at home when I've shipped long guns via USPS. Since everything is paid upfront, there's no reason to discuss insurance. There's nothing for the USPS person to do but weigh to confirm the shipping weight that's on the label, and scan the bar code. As mentioned earlier, I've never had anyone at the Post Office ask what I am shipping. I had a Fedex clerk years ago that was very curious about a guitar I was shipping since I had doubleboxed and gone way overboard with a big outer carton. She kept asking if I was shipping golf clubs for some reason. There was nothing rattling or loose, or shifting around, why golf clubs?
