My understanding is that commercial shippers "want" a license holder on at least one end. That is, even if their rules say they will ship "between", "amongst", etc., they won't knowingly allow you, if not a license holder, to ship your guns to yourself. I have heard so many stories of shippers apparently not following their own rules, and employees of those shippers enforcing non-existent rules and laws, that no scenario would surprise me, but there you go. I have always chosen to "play the game", and declare my firearms, pay the required expedited shipping, etc., but some people declare "machine parts", ship it cheap, and hope the feds don't find out.
