COST TO AUCTION AND/OR SELL:
The client agrees to pay the auctioneer the sum of 20% of gross sales for firearms sold without reserve. The client agrees to pay the auctioneer 30% of the gross sales for firearms sold with a reserve.
The client agrees that any firearm listed for auction or buy it now sale by the auctioneer, that does not sell and must be returned to the client which incur a ten dollar ($10.00) no sale return fee, which covers advertising, time and manpower expenses which were required to list the firearm.
STORAGE & SAFE KEEPING OF FIREARMS TO BE AUCTIONED OR SOLD:
The client agrees to safely store all firearms committed to the auction or sales for the duration of the auction or sale.
CLIENT AGREES TO SHIPPING OF FIREARMS TO A FEFDERAL LICENSED DEALER ONLY:

A citizen may ship a handgun or long gun via mail to a federally licensed dealer under current rules, by the Postal Service. USPS revised its mailing standards to permit handgun shipments to and from non-licensees, reversing the 1927 ban codified at 18 U.S.C. § 1715.
The client also has the option of shipping their firearms to the receiving federal licensed firearm dealer by Fed Ex or UPS. The client agrees that shipping of their firearm to the receiving federal licensed dealer shall be completed within seven (7) days from the date of auction or sale.

RELATED STATUTES
The 1927 Ban That Just Ended
The federal prohibition on mailing handguns to non-licensees traces to the Miller Act of 1927, eventually codified at 18 U.S.C. § 1715. The original justification was crime control. Congress was worried about the use of mail-order handguns in the violent crime wave of the 1920s, and the ban was framed as a closure of an interstate channel for arming criminals.
The 1968 Gun Control Act layered on additional structure, requiring most handgun purchases between non-residents to flow through a Federal Firearms Licensee. For the next 99 years, that meant if you sold a handgun to a private buyer in another state, the path was the same: ship to an FFL near the buyer, the buyer goes to the FFL for a Form 4473 transfer, and the carrier of choice was UPS or FedEx because USPS wouldn’t take the package at all.
What’s Actually Allowed Now
USPS handgun mailing now operates under the same framework already in place for shotguns and rifles. From the Federal Register notice published April 2, 2026 (“Revised Mailing Standards for Firearms”):
- Handguns can be mailed by non-FFL individuals to other non-FFL individuals where state law permits.
- Handguns can be mailed by FFLs to FFLs, by FFLs to non-FFLs where state law permits, and by non-FFLs to FFLs.
- Standard USPS firearms-mailing rules apply: registered or insured packaging, proper carrier-marked containers, and disclosure to USPS at the point of mailing.
- The shipper must continue to comply with the Gun Control Act of 1968 and any state-level restrictions on the destination state.
What’s Still Regulated
The Gun Control Act of 1968 hasn’t gone anywhere. Any commercial handgun seller (anyone “engaged in the business” of dealing) still has to be licensed, and any retail handgun sale across state lines still has to terminate at an FFL on the receiving end. The April 2 rule change doesn’t touch the licensee framework.
What changes is the friction surrounding that framework. An FFL who sells a handgun to a buyer in another state can ship USPS Priority Mail directly to the buyer’s destination FFL instead of routing through a UPS or FedEx hub at higher cost.
A non-FFL private seller in a shall-issue state can ship to an FFL in another state via USPS instead of the same UPS hub. Estate sales, consignments, and authorized distributor transfers all become cheaper to ship without changing what’s legally required.
State laws are the next live front. Several anti-firearms states have statutes mirroring the old federal handgun-mail ban that may now be inconsistent with the federal regulatory regime, though state pre-emption analysis depends on each statute’s structure. Expect a wave of guidance memos from state AG offices over the next several months.
Can I ship a handgun directly to a private buyer through USPS now?
Only if both states involved permit private interstate handgun sales without FFL involvement, which most do not. The federal rule change permits the shipping channel, but the Gun Control Act of 1968 generally requires interstate handgun sales between non-residents to flow through an FFL on the receiving end. Verify both states' specific rules and the destination FFL's policies before shipping.
