ther are exceptions sodbuster.
1) If a private transaction occurs between residents of the same state, a direct shipment to the seller's home is OK.
2) If a person is shipping a weapon to themself in care of another person, it's OK even in another state as long as the package remains unopened and is stored securely.
3) If a person ships a weapon out to be repaired it can be shipped directly back to them by the FFL holder.
4)If a person has a C&R license they can recieve C&R guns.
Correct, but let me add:

5) If the rifle or shotgun is purchased in a face-to-face transaction at an out-of-state FFL's registered place of business, and the laws of the destination state do not require a transfer through an in-state FFL, the out-of-state FFL can ship it directly to your home address. (Note to future readers: this does not apply to handguns.)

6) The CMP, as a federal entity, is exempt from the law and can ship directly to you. However, state registration and/or licensing laws still apply.

7) There is no federal law against shipping a gun to yourself. State laws may apply, however.

This is about buying shotguns and standard hunting rifles off of retailers on the internet.
The caveat in #5 is "face-to-face transaction". No such thing is possible over the 'Net, so you'll need to do a transfer.
