I did night sights myself with an eBay pusher. Was easy as pie. Shipping has to be overnight to Glock. Just use the estimate shipping tools online through UPS. Glock has their address on the refurb form. Should give you an accurate cost, unless you have a shipping account you can take advantage of

Which pusher did you use? I assume its safer than whacking the rear site with brass punch which has been keeping me from upgrading to night sights.
actually glock night sight are mid $50 range,but everybody says spend the lettuce on aftermarkets
It's not worth it, The Glock night sites are nice but to spend nearly $70 dollars for shipping you could buy a set and do it yourself or have someone local do it. Other parts they change can be changed easily by a Monkey and they're cheap.
My turn arond time was literally 3 days, And i had to drive way out of my way to drop off and pick up at the Brockton distribution center.
This is retarded. Why didn't you just pay an FFL short money to send it out for you? I don't think I've ever paid a dealer more than like $25 to ship a handgun out for me. Gets logged as a repair, done.

Could you please expand on this a little? I just picked up an LE trade in G19 and was thinking of sending it to Glock for the refurb and slide re-coat but didn't realize shipping was that ridiculous. How does the FFL avoid the same shipping fee?

I'm mobile, link you when I'm at a computer.
If you search Glock sight pusher, it's a small piece of square tubing. A bolt, with a couple of nuts on it. Really simple concept

What do they do and is it worth it?
Some FFLs cut corners on the "must ship overnight if a handgun" at UPS and Fedex. At minimum, this negates any insurance you might (emphasis, might) get from the carrier. I'm not sure if that rises to a criminal offense though.
FFLs can ship to other FFLs via registered mail, provided they have a declaration form on file at the shipping post office.

Use FFL to ship to Glock. I had hunters trading post send it in and cost me less than $20.
And no need for registered mail (which is a fairly specific product) - FFLs can ship USPS priority.

The only time I've shipped registered was on the advice of famed Parker gunsmith Larry DelGrego. I had a $12,000 Parker 20 ga DHE to ship to him for a safety check and tune up. He insisted I ship registered. He said that he has had insured parkers go missing with FedEx and UPS and they gladly paid out insurance claims in the $100 to $200 range, which is what the gun sold for new 90 years ago.
He said the only shipper that will pay out the true market value of an antique Parker is USPS. And if there is a $12,000 claim, the postal inspectors get involved and the item is usually found since its typically pilfered from inside a USPS facility.
I don't know if Larry is right. What I do know is that he ships in and out over 100 historic Parkers per year from his shop in Ilion, NY, so he knows a lot more than I do.
