[QUOTE="Wobblyshot1, post: 5120968, member: 9066"] First of all, I'm a retired UPS delivery driver and have just about seen it all. I still use UPS for shipping muzzle loaders. Recently I sold and shipped a longrifle to a fella in Pennsylvania. He requested 3 day service because he thought it would minimize time in transit thus minimizing the chance of damage. I said okay but looked a the standard ground as well. Not only was it considerably cheaper it was set to arrive earlier as well. We used ground and he had it in two days. My advice is not to scrimp on packaging. Make sure your rifle is well padded and absolutely will not move inside your box. If there is any play and the box makes a sudden stop on the belt I've seen the contents inside the box act like a battering ram and punch through the box end. Other than careful packing I do basically what smyrnagc does. [/QUOTE]
