Shipped an Israeli FAL a year ago via UPS. Felt strange walking into the UPS place with a big rifle case. As soon as the lady saw me, she asked, "Firearm? Let's get you a box." She was very nice and when it turned out to be too long to get a good rate, she had no problem with me stripping it down on the counter. Got some strange looks from the folks that came in before we got it all boxed up.

But they had no problem at all shipping the weapon.

According to the boys that'll be coming for you if your mess it up....

"A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by a common or contract carrier to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm."

It's that "federal law" stuff that would get in the way. The "licensee" here is an FFL.

A long gun can be sent via USPS also.

Would be best to exchange a copy of your driver's licenses to protect both sides of the deal.
