The law says a carrier must be notified it's a handgun only when it's being shipped to a non-licensee (ie not an FFL).

Only one (shipper OR adressee) has to be a dealer. Fed Ex policy below but remember there are also ATF rules to deal with. A carrier is allowed under ATF laws to allow a non-FFL to ship to a FFL (or manufacturer) and the FFL can ship to the non_FFL but only the one who sent the gun to them (I can send my gun to a dealer, he can then send it back to me..he can't send one to me that I did not first send to him). Fed-Ex policy is up to them as long as they are within AF laws.
From Fed-Ex:
FedEx Express can only accept and deliver firearms between areas served in the U.S. under the following conditions: (1) you agree to tender shipments of firearms to us only when either the shipper or recipient is a licensed manufacturer, licensed importer, licensed dealer or licensed collector and is not prohibited from making such shipments by local, state or federal regulations; (2) the shipper and recipient must be of legal age as identified by applicable state law.
Firearms must be shipped via FedEx Priority Overnight service. FedEx cannot ship or deliver firearms C.O.D. or with a signature release. Upon presenting the package for shipment, the person tendering the shipment to FedEx is required to notify the FedEx employee who accepts the package that the package contains a firearm. The outside of the package must not be marked, labeled or otherwise identify that the package contains a firearm. Firearms shipments cannot be placed in a FedEx Express Drop Box.
You also agree not to ship firearms loaded or with ammunition in the same package. Ammunition is an explosive and must be shipped separately as dangerous goods. The shipper and recipient are required to comply with all applicable government regulations and laws, including those pertaining to labeling. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives can provide assistance.

On the rare cases where I have had to do so on my dime , I have shipped all my " Precision machined parts" by Fed Ex Second Day Air , you're not breaking any laws , just a stupid company policy after all.
