A C&R is a type of FFL License and should suffice for these types of transactions, especially on a C&R qualified gun.
I've found that insuring the package for a large amount is what triggers the questions of what's in the package at USPS.
These two items are why I got my C&R and an Eastern insurance policy on my collection that covers shipping by common carrier plus while the gun is at the gunsmith's shop. The C&R is a bit of a hassle to get at first, but it pays for itself the first time you use it. The Eastern policy gives a comforting piece of mind overall & cuts down some of the shipping hassles. There are other insurance companies out there who offer similar coverages.
IMO it's a no-brainer to get a copy of the FFL you're shipping the gun too. If someone refuses to email you a copy of their FFL to you, don't use them, you're only possibly putting yourself in violation of federal law!
