A friend of mine was an experienced FFL and he told me, "Never use the postal service. You'll die before they pay a claim".I have never paid nearly that much either. But, the USPS did break an Anschutz 380 in two pieces and did not honor the insurance.
Anytime I have airguns shipped to or from me I insist on FedEx or UPS. So far I haven't had any damaged shipments so they may not pay claims any better, but at least there's a chance.
