Any firearm being sent to the Manufacturer can be sent from home you do not need a FFL to send it.

I didn't say I went to an FFL because I had to, I use one because of the cost of shipping. An FFL can ship a handgun via USPS, where I as an individual can not, and its quite a bit cheaper than using fed-ex or UPS.

If you can get a ffl for under 20 thats great... best I can get is 25.. and I an VERY happy to get that rate.. but rember when you give your gun to a FFL its no longer your gun. 99.9% there is no problem.. but its no longer your gun in the eye of ATF.

It does help to have a friend with an FFL, yes you do have to fill out a 4473 to get it back, but it is still your property. You also have the added record keeping to prove the path the gun took so if it does vanish it's not hard for law enforcement to figure out where/when it happened.

The cost of shipping is one reason I go to an FFL and have them MAIL a pistol for me if the manufacturer doesn't send a pickup slip. If its a long gun I simply mail it myself.
