A guy to whom I traded a pistol told me he did this all the time, and shipped ground. I believe the statute states you have to declare
only if you are shipping to someone
other than a licensed manufacturer, importer, dealer, or collector. So it's not illegal.
However, it is a violation of UPS company policy. Thus, if the box gets damaged or lost during its journey in the brown truck UPS can deny the insurance claim, based on the
Terms and Conditions of Service.
