Step-by-step Guide to Handgun Shipping to Alaska

If you’ve decided the care-of shipping option is best for you, just follow the steps below.

1. Plan Your Route

Plan when and where you will drop off and pick up your gun, coinciding with one of our preferred FFL (Federal Firearms Licence) dealer locations. Allow four weekdays for USPS, and three for UPS. Please note, our post office in Tok, Alaska, is closed on weekends and holidays.

2. Package your Gun

This step is not necessary when using our preferred dealers.

Package your gun in a USPS flat rate box unless using one of our preferred dealers—They have everything and know how to correctly package and label your firearm(s). Do not seal the box until it has been checked by the FFL dealer shipping the package.

3. Label your Package

This step is not necessary when using our preferred dealers.

From:


You
C/O (Care Of) FFL Dealer Name
FFL Dealer address

To:
