Suppressors Shipping suppressors to another state?

[AK4900PA]

I'm originally from Alaska and currently residing in Texas. It's still a ways off, but in two years I'm planning on returning home. The wife is going to fly up and my son and I will take a road trip up there. What's the best way to get my suppressors up there? My wife isn't on the trust so she can't take them.

geography always a problem.
Could take a ferry in Washington.... but that seems expensive

Assuming you have an address in AK, you can just mail/ship those items to yourself. Be sure to insure the shipment. Also, when you get moved, be sure you change the address for the stamps.

The ferry is a viable option to avoid Canada. Cost is $250 to $400 for 1 car 2 people. If you factor in the high price of Canadian gas and other expenses, it is worth it. Plus you do not trust your very hard to replace cans to a shipper.

That is a better price than I would have expected

My mistake, when I put in for an approximate price I fat fingered the vehicle size, You are correct.
