Shipping long gun from Houston

I need to send 3 old Mausers to the original owner in IL. So I went to Central Police today asking if they could send to a FFL but was informed they dont offer this kind of service. I always received but never sent, so I'm lost. Anybody knows a FFL in Houston that could send guns to another FFL?

Just google FFL or gun store near me. They will charge you a fee plus shipping of course. And what in the heck is Central Police ?

There's a shipper called shipmygun. I don't really know much about them except several gun auction sites I buy guns on have used them to ship my purchases to my local FFL dealer. link below

You can ship a long gun yourself interstate to any ffl via a common carrier (FedEx, UPS etc). Even USPS I think. Each have different rules.
