Search function didn't help me find my answer, so...
If I wanted to buy a handgun from someone in my same state [Washington], could they legally ship it to me without using a FFL? I found the following on the ATF website which leads me to believe it is legal if not using the US Post.

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.
