Smooth
Great transaction! It involved firearms and the process was quick and easy even though we had to go through an FFL.

All-in-all, no overall complaints.
USPS Shipping charges were substantially higher than expected. Also, while aware of Buyer Premium charges, not everyone would be aware of them until final bill/invoice. Will use them again!
