no it is illegal
That is incorrect. Here is exactly what the ATF 'Federal Firearms Regulations Reference Guide' (ATF P 5300.4) says:
(B9) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by carrier?
A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by 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. [18 U. S. C. 922( a)( 2)( A) and 922( e), 27 CFR 178.31]
B8) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U. S. Postal Service?
A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of his or her own state or to a licensee in any state. Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. A nonlicensee may not transfer any firearm to a nonlicensed resident of another state. The Postal Service recommends that longguns be sent by registered mail and that no marking of any kind which would indicate the nature of the contents be placed on the outside of any parcel containing firearms.
'Antique' firearms need not be shipped to a licensed dealer. These can be shipped directly to the buyer. An antique firearm is a firearm built in or before 1898, or a replica thereof. The exact ATF definition of an antique firearm is:
Antique firearm. (a) Any firearm (including any firearm with a matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system) manufactured in or before 1898; and (b) any replica of any firearm described in paragraph (a) of this definition if such replica (1) is not designed or redesigned for using rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition, or (2) uses rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition which is no longer manufactured in the United States and which is not readily available in the ordinary channels of commercial trade.

Where did the phrase riding shotgun come from?
In the Old West of the US, stagecoaches carried passengers, freight, mail and money- and could be robbed. The driver sometimes had a guard that rode beside him on the seat, who was armed- usually with a shotgun.
Can you mail separate components of a rifle?
You can mail an entire rifle or shotgun thru the US Mail- it must be unloaded. You will find that in chapter 14 of the Domestic Mail Manual, under Restricted Mailings. IF the owership of the rifle is being changed, and it is going to another state, it must go TO a firearms dealer in that state.
What paperwork is involved in shipping a shotgun through the mail?
In the US, you may MAIL an unloaded rifle or shotgun- no paperwork. HOWEVER- if the ownership of the gun is being transferred to someone else IN ANOTHER STATE, the gun must be sent TO a Firearms Dealer in that other state (for transfer to the new owner) This does not apply to an inherited firearm, which can be sent directly to person inheriting it. HANDGUNS may not be mailed by US Mail except by a licensed dealer or manufacturer.
Can you mail someone a gun?
Depends. In the US, a rifle or shotgun can be sent by US Mail. If crossing a state line, it must be sent to a DEALER in the home state of the person getting the gun. Handguns may NOT be mailed except by a dealer or manufacturer.
Can you send a firearm by US mail?
UNLOADED rifles and shotguns may be sent by US Mail. If they are being sent across a state line to another person, they must go to a Federal Firearms License holder (dealer or collector) in that other state. You MAY legally mail a rifle of shotgun to yourself- say, for a hunting trip. HANDGUNS may only be mailed by a licensed dealer or manufacturer. You can research this at usps.com, in the Domestic Mail Manual. You ARE required to advise the Postmaster that your package contains a rifle or shotgun, they MAY require you to show it is not loaded, and there should be no markings on the exterior of the package to indicate that it is a gun.

Can you mail guns?
In the US (other countries, other laws) a private citizen may mail an unloaded rifle or shotgun by US Mail. See chapter 14, Domestic Mail Manual. Only a Dealer or Manufacturer with a Federal Firearms License can legally MAIL a handgun. If the ownership of a firearm is being transferred across a state line, the gun MUST be shipped to a Federal Firearms License holder. Both UPS and FedEx hubs (not storefronts) will SHIP (not mail) rifles, shotguns, and handguns.
