It was free and m gun made it safely but I did gave a really good case. I did get a scare once I was flying to Utah to hunt and my flight was cancelled due t weather. I got another flight as a stand by and didn't get on but my gun and luggage did. I arrived 8 hours later and the baggage claim people collected my bags and gun and had them waiting for me. Just make sure you keep your keys. If they want to open the case they will call you to come open it.
