Wouldn't you have to FedEX the weapon to an FFL otherwise it would be illegal?

You can mail a long gun usps but have to use a contract carrier(fedex) for pistols. But you can ship them interstate to yourself or in the care of another person. They aren't supposed to open the box though. This is off of the ATF FAQ page.
"(B9) May a nonlicensee ship firearms interstate for his or her use in hunting or other lawful activity? [Back]
Yes. A person may ship a firearm to himself or herself in care of another person in the State where he or she intends to hunt or engage in any other lawful activity. The package should be addressed to the owner. Persons other than the owner should not open the package and take possession of the firearm."
Edit: Getting FedEx to understand they can do it is a different story.
