Just a warning that the USPS has a whole host of strange and often illogical restrictions on what can be mailed. Make sure you review the restrictions before trying to ship via them and/or be very careful how you answer any questions from the mail clerk.

OTOH, that may just be a myth...

They don't want you to mail things that can go 'bang' or send flames shooting thru the mail bag (Blast, take note). Check the USPS web site. You can't ship firearms unless you have a federal gun dealer permit. Gun parts, however, are a different story... In my kid's small town in SE AK there are no roads to other towns so everything comes in by boat or plane. Most folks have PO boxes in this town as it has no letter carriers or rural delivery. So if you want to mail stuff be sure to ask if your sponsoring organization will allow you to send mail to their PO Box. In my kid's case I send mail to her employer's box.
