Guys, what is the best way to ship parts? Sending my slide and RMR off and will need $500+ insurance also. Let me know the best carrier and any secrets to keep me out of trouble.

Slide of your particular pistol is not considered a firearm and the RMR is simply an optic so unless you find a non-carrier owned pack-&-ship store that has a no firearms part policy you'll be good to go.

RMR is easy to figure value but slide could be tricky depending availability, think S&W M&P 10 barrel. Make sure you can order a new slide from CZ if something were to happen to yours. You'll have to call them since it doesn't seem to be listed as an order-able part on their website. If CZ-USA says it's available, insure for cost of slide but if not, then insure for cost of new pistol.

Once you have insurance value, it's just a matter of balancing secure packing, weight, and dimension. Most likely it will fit in a USPS Priority small flat rate box ($5.95 plus whatever insurance over $50 you want) but you wouldn't be able to fit the RMR case inside it. Probably could get away with a medium flat rate box ($12-ish plus additional insurance) but for me it would come down to which carrier had the best insurance rate based on the weight and dimensions of your boxed up parts.
