you're incorrect about the number of FFLs that need be involved.

Assuming that MichaelHarris purchased a pistol from a private individual in a state in which he did not live, that private seller may legally ship (via a private carrier such as FedEx or UPS) to a FFL in the purchaser's home-state who would require MichaelHarris to complete the Form4473 and the necessary NICS background check before transferring the pistol to him.

Of course, many FFLs will not accept shipments from non-FFLs, but that is a their choice, not a legal requirement.
