Jack, to ship a gun from Canada into the US requires that a US purchaser obtain an ATF Form 6 Application and permit for importation of Firearms, Ammunition and Implements of War. Send it in to ATF, takes about a month, no charge. Get it back, Fill out the attached Form 6A, send it to Canadian seller, he sends gun to US address through Canada post. Clears customs in US, they check documents.
I have a Fed Curios and Relics FFL but I don't think that is even needed if one is merely importing a gun into the US for personal use, as the Form 6 says "FFL number, if any".
The cost is the postal charge, what $50-$75 insured?
There is a US Bureau of Alcohol, Tax and Firearms web site that explains the process and has forms. I found it to be very simple.
