Say I want to go to Alaska, and I know someone that will receive it and hold the box for me...

My question is, since most of the time UPS wants to see an FFL, has anyone run into problems doing this?
My question is why not just carry it with you when you go there? Why take a chance on it being lost or damaged in shipment?

As to shipping it to yourself, I am not sure but think that may only apply to hunting weapons.
