[QUOTE="JimFromTN, post: 2526661, member: 113268"] My brother moved back to TN from AK a few years back. He ended up mailing his rifles to himself. It took over a month and allot of calls to the post office but he finally got them. If you were to go this route, insure them with the post office and make sure you have the tracking numbers for each firearm. Take pictures of the rifles in the cases you are going to ship them in and make sure you have any paperwork proving their value. If you don't have paperwork to prove their value, they won't pay. The post office will do everything in their power not to pay. As for insuring through a moving company, study their policy thoroughly. Another brother of mine had everything insured but he did not realize that it was by the pound. The movers broke a couch worth over $1000 and an antique marble countertop. I think they got about $50 from the moving company. Again, they will also do anything not to pay you including taking your money to insure your guns and then tell you they don't insure guns once they have been stolen by the moving crew. Never trust movers. I have used movers on several occasions as have my other family members and none of us have ever had a good experience. If they are corporate movers, they are probably a little more trustworthy because they know they will lose allot of business in the future if they screw you over. [/QUOTE]
