Key is a plain brown box and keep your mouth shut. Heck the guy over at my local Postal Annex helped me pack one and we had a great conversation.

I told the U P S staff mine was a 2000.00 piece of fine walnut , hand crafted gun stock . She gave me a look and told me that will be 115.00 please .
It got there in one piece.

Mostly it boils down to if you insure it or not. If it’s insured they want to know what it is and if you file a claim they want proof of value.
In my experience third party carriers (non USPS) ask what the contents are. These aren’t governmental agencies and you do not have an expectation of privacy. Furthermore, generalized terms like “sporting goods” or “machined parts” may or may not be accepted.

I asked the Post Master at our post office in town what the rules were for shipping air guns. He said there's no rule against shipping airguns, pb rifles and shotguns. Just No pb pistols or ammo.

Guys, there is going to be a new headwind coming when it comes to shipping. Biden’s latest executive order mandates that more purchases even between private sellers go through a background check and provide proof of a FFA license. Of course this is not meant for air guns or defined as such to my knowledge. However, the end result will be even more hesitance from clueless shipping company workers to ship an air gun. I would even bet that UPS/FedEx will start doing more regular x-ray checks of packages for anything that looks like a gun.
PS. I think I heard he’s assigned Pete Buttigieg to address transportation of guns throughout the US. I have no clue what he’s going to address but whatever it is it won’t be good for shipping airguns.

I'll have to ask our Post Master about that. As far as UPS and FedEx they can come up with any rules on what they won't ship.

Sometimes I label mine as "Pneumatic Paper Punch"!
If they ask what that is I tell them it's a device that punches hole in paper and that this is one of the high end models!
But, it's a good idea to have the rules of the shipping company handy in case you come up against a clerk that hasn't;t been fully educated on the matter.

This same question was around 30 yrs ago. If sending and insuring a gun, I was told to say auto parts nothing really changed other than people are more freeks. No problems.
