Pathfinder is right on the mark.
Send it to your new addressee in care of your name. Other people may sign for the package, but you are the only one who can legally open the package.
U.S. mail will ship long guns, not pistols.
FedEx is the better choice. UPS carriers are not responsible for their packages. They toss em on the truck and don't care if they get damaged.
FedEx carriers all are contracted, they are responsible for damaged packages personally. When they notice a broken package, they either refuse delivery or it gets noted on their PDA scanner that it was damaged before their contact with the package.
-Update - Gee, Trick, I wasn't guessing.
If you read question B9, I almost said word for word what they say.

When I moved to Alaska I shipped my carry guns by FEDEX. They didn't ask what was in the box so I didn't say anything either. I used FEDEX because they have a security safe storage warehouse and they would hold the package for 5 days which gave me time to get there and get a residence set up. Then I just drove down to the warehouse and showed my Identification (the box was addressed to me) and picked up my box of guns. No problem.

What kind of gun, and where?
Generally speaking, any time you ship a gun from one state to another, you will need to send it to a Federal Firearms License holder.
Handguns cannot be shipped by the US Postal Service. You will need to use FedEx or UPS, and those companies will require you to ship overnight.
Long guns can be shipped via USPS--I'd recommend getting insurance on it, packing it well, and making sure that there was nothing on the outside of the package indicating that it was a firearm.
At any rate, make sure you know the laws of the place you're moving to--your guns might not be legal there.
Personally, if it were me? If I had a moving company transporting my stuff, I'd just send it with them. Or better yet, I'd find a way to bring it myself.

I always carried them with me until it got to the point that there were just too many. When I moved to and from Alaska and had to drive through Canada I packed my "prohibited" pistols in a well padded, sturdy, steel ammo can with a padlock and watched the movers pack and shut the container it went in before it went on the truck. Also had a few less valuable long guns packed in thick cardboard boxes that were made to fit them. It was a reputable moving company and we had no problems.

If you are driving, why not just take it with you in the car? You can wrap it securely and put it in the trunk of the car separated from ammo and there will be no problem. If you are flying to your new home, you can check your firearm with your luggage. All you have to do is to declare it when you check your luggage and follow the security rules. Your airline can tell you exactly what you have to do. Check with them ahead of time so there will be no surprises.

Let's all stop guessing at this. Below is a link to the ATF. They have a FAQ section. In this area you will find the answer to your question. The legal answer. Have a safe trip.

It's perfectly legal to ship a firearm(excluding pistols) to yourself or to a family member in another state so long as you notify the carrier and have the package marked for a 21+ signature. It's also legal to ship non-registered firearms(again excluding handguns) within state boundaries.

Rifles and shotguns can be mailed via the USPS , but only FFL dealers may send handguns through the mail. However, anyone, including non-FFL dealers can use the private carriers like UPS, Fed EX, and DHL to whip firearms. I would opt for UPS.
