ATF requires you to ship to the address on the FFL but you do not have to list the name literally to expose valuables inside the box. I usually list "The P. Parlor" or "Reeder Custom". This gets the message to the delivery guy who is looking at other stuff anyway. "The G. Exchange" for The Gun Exchange etc.
Less likely a shipping employee will risk busing into a package to steal it.
Being basically a "commercial" shipper GNR is sort of screwed, the origin is obvious. Me bellying up to the bar I might be shipping Granny's knitting needles or bolts and screws who knows. I can get the best rate and they want me to hopefully come back. I'm not captive like GNR on shipping.
I shipped a recurve bow to Heidelberg Germany for $27.50 UPS. The UPS outlet center told me I could not ship it at all. I went to the local USPS and filled out a form, listed it as a $10 gift for customs and there it went.
GNR needs to revisit the old USPS flat Rate box program. Being a FFL dealer there may be a form or two but they will ship firearms for him cheaper than UPS. Talk directly to the local Postmaster! I would NOT suggest that as an individual.
