Yes.

To further support the view that a locked container making the gun accessible only to the "owner" might avoid the transfer problem inherent in having someone store your guns, ATF has advised
here that one may ship a firearm to himself in care of another person in another State.
Specifically ATF has said (emphasis added):
Quote:
6. May I lawfully ship a firearm to myself in a different State?
Any person may ship a firearm to himself or herself in the 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 “in the care of” the out-of-State resident. Upon reaching its destination, persons other than the owner must not open the package or take possession of the firearm.
