I just had an action shipped to my well trusted local FFL. I was always able to just send a copy of his ffl in PDF form off to wherever and when he received whatever it was I ordered, he'd call for me to pick it up. Unfortunately for me, since I last talked to him this summer, he's moved from Washington to Michigan. My receiver made the trip from Pennsylvania to Washington to Michigan and now I'm working on having him ship it to another local FFL. This sucks. Had it not been for the person I bought it from, I'd still be here patiently waiting for my FFL to call me. I had another rifle inbound to the same FFL, but I was lucky that the seller was able to get it rerouted.
I learned a lesson on this one! And in the process found out I have an FFL close enough that I can see his house from my kitchen window.
Thank you Mike for the heads up on this one, I owe you one brother.
