Shipping Firearms via ShipMyGun.com

Looking for feedback if you have shipped firearms using ShipMyGun.com, a division of Buds Gun Shop. I am considering using them to transport a handgun. FFL nonlicensees are prohibited from shipping firearms with FedEx. USPS does not ship handguns for nonlicensees while UPS only transports handguns via expensive next day air. ShipMyGun has a separate negotiated commercial contract with UPS. Handguns are shipped via 2-day UPS delivery. Thanks.

 
I used it once and have used it for a quote many times. There’s no downside if the receiving FFL will sign up for it, or already has. It’s far cheaper than a diy overnight handgun shipment via UPS.

I've shipped over 20 long guns using their service. I use my FFL to ship handguns for me. Since they can ship using USPS Priority, even paying them their fee for this service it is cheaper for me.

Their payment system has a "glitch" in it. Doesn't happen every time, but probably happens with about 40% of the shipping labels I order. Once I recognized it, I came up with a way to still successfully place the order. On long guns I save nearly 50% over the cost of using UPS myself.
 
I sell a firearm to a out of state buyer. The buyers receiving FFL emails me a prepaid shipping label and a copy of his FFL. I pack the firearm and stick his prepaid shipping label on the package and drop it off to the carrier. The FFL is the shipper.
Where am I wrong?
