Shipping a rifle?

[Highpoint]

I have made a trade with a fellow member on this site, me he is receiving one of my rifles for a gun safe.
He resides in the same state as me( Alabama ), about 500 miles away ,and my question is, the rifle is used, is it legal for me to ship it to his house via fedex, or does it need to go to his ffl? He is providing me a copy of his carry permit and DL.
He sent me a email with the atf rules on this topic, but im no lawyer, and could not find the specific wording that states what im asking you guys.

So what's the answer can I ship to his door?

Sorry man if you read this, its not that I don't trust your word . Its just I need to be 100% on the law before I send it to your door.

Thanks , this is what I was looking for

Q: May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U.S. Postal Service?
A nonlicensee may not transfer a firearm to a non-licensed resident of another State. A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. The Postal Service recommends that long guns be sent by registered mail and that no marking of any kind which would indicate the nature of the contents be placed on the outside of any parcel containing firearms. Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun.

[18 U.S.C. 1715, 922(a)(3), 922(a)(5) and 922 (a)(2)(A)]
Q: May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by common or contract carrier?
A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by a common or contract carrier to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm.

[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(2)(A), 922(a) (3), 922(a)(5) and 922(e), 27 CFR 478.31 and 478.30]
