Does a seller (who is not an FFL) of a gun from out-of-state have to ship a gun through an FFL in their state to an FFL in MA or can they pack it up and ship it directly to my FFL upon receipt of a signed FFL form? Also, can handguns be shipped by either USPS/UPS/or FEDEX? Any special forms?

They can ship directly to your FFL. No need for two FFLs.
You can't ship guns via USPS. You must use a common carrier (e.g., UPS or Fedex). No special forms, but under federal law you must declare to the common carrier that you are shipping a gun.

Use this page as a guide for shipping questions. Each shipper has their own rules and all have their rules posted on the net in their pages. A non-licensee cannot ship through the USPS.

Good advice from Round Gun. I've heard that some FFL's will not accept from a non-licensee but thankfully they're far and few between. I've never had that problem. Always good to ask up front.

Could you please clarify your question, particular the referent for "he"? Since the word "dealer" never appeared in this thread before your use of it, I find myself unable to determine unambiguously to whom you're referring.

Good catch, Ken!

I have FFLs on the brain from playing catch-up w/dealer issues after being gone last week. Upon review, the OP is referring to private party sales; NOT a purchase from an FFL.
