OK, I have called a couple gun shops in the Chandler area, and only found one that will ship it for me and they want $100 to ship it! Any ideas?
$100 is insane. As I stated before, go to www.shipmygun.com. It should be around $50-$60. Be sure the FFL you are shipping it to will accept a transfer from a private individual (they shouldn't have an issue with it, but you will need to include a copy of your drivers license in the box).
I have used shipmygun.com several times, it is incredibly easy.

FFL is involved in interstatesale/transfer of ownership of firearms. This means that within the state of AZ, I can sell and directly ship a gun to the buyer(ie we both live in AZ, both AZ residents, ships from and to an AZ address). If I sell out of state I must ship to an FFL. If no transfer is taking place, such as shipping a gun to yourself, or a repair that returns the firearm to the owner, etc no FFL is required.
Are you shipping a gun to a friend or receiving? If sending to an out of state friend, you can send to their FFL directly. Just give them a call ahead of time. If receiving, that's really expensive.
The FFL dealer he uses in his town only accepts from other FFL's. I called around local to me and only found 2 that are willing to ship for me and one said like $40 + $50 2 day air shipping, and other one said $35 + $50-60 2 day air!!
The FFL I use puts it in a flat rate box and ships them through the USPS.
That is the cheapest way to ship a pistol.
If I were you I would look for another FFL.
So far all the ones I have called have said handguns have to go 2-day air! One of the ones near me that will do it told me the same, yet when I ordered a handgun from them a while back and they told me 2-3 days, it took a week and a half for them to get it! lol
Where are you located at in Goodyear? I have to run to that side of town next week sometime. If I don't find anyone reasonable on this side.
I will call AJI tomorrow also.

Well ups and fedex are not following those rules. I tried shipping to a FFL through UPS last week and they refused to do it. I called Fedex and they refused as well. They told me it had to go from FFL to FFL. I showed them the rules and they said this is the way it is. So something is wrong here.
FedEx and UPS make their own rules when it comes to firearms. If you don't have a shipping account with them they tend to not me helpful. I've used FedEx to ship several handguns...it's helpful when you don't tell them whats in the box. Shipmygun.com uses FedEx; I've never had an issue when using their service.
