I realize this question has probably been asked and answered here before but can anyone provide any information on the best (and safest) method/carrier to ship a double shotgun to England?
I have purchased an appropriate case and registered the gun with customs here in the US.
I would like to ship the gun back to the maker for inspection and repair in the next week or so.
Any thoughts on what carrier is best would be appreciated, and what the process entails -- can you lock the case, does it clear customs anywhere, time to delivery, can you ship straight to the maker, potential costs, etc. etc.
It is my understanding that the US Mail will accept & ship the gun but one loses tracking of it as soon as it hits UK shores. If this is true, it is not acceptable. Moreover I've heard $700 is the max the gun could be insured, also not acceptable.
Does anyone know if UPS Global or Fed-Ex ships guns overseas?
With thanks ...
