Shipping a firearm

[AK shooter]

I sold a firearm to an individual here and was wondering the proper method of shipping. I have shipped firearms back to the manufacturer for repairs and I know it will have to go to an FFL but I do not know the proper procedure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Get a copy of the FFL in hand before you ship. Box it up, I usually use UPS, You will have to go to a UPS shipping center not an outlet like mailboxes etc.
Insure it and I would avoid labeling it in any way that it is a firearm.

Shipping regs say handguns have to go overnite or second day air can't remember which. Long guns can go normal overland.

Overnight.

Does the FFL go with the firearm or do I just show it to the UPS people.
