Correct that no FFL needed on the shipping end, just the receiving end as far as the Fed is concerned. The problem starts when the shipping companys make their own in house rules demanding an FFL needed to ship, or alot of FFL's demand that the gun is shipped from an FFL (they feel more secure in receiving it from an FFL than a private citizen should a problem arise later because it was a stolen firearm). Either has the right to make their own rules of business if they so choose as long as they meet the requirement of the Fed and local laws. It's just not very popular with folks that's all. Another thing is that sometimes a state law might require that the gun be sent from an FFL ( NYS for instance demands that all handguns sent into NYS come from an FFL,,wether for transfer to an owner in NYS or for gunsmithing work). There are probably some others.
