When I ship a rifle, I put a copy of the receiving FFL's license in the box, and take a copy with me when I drop it off with UPS. Sometimes they ask for it, sometimes they don't. I always give them a detailed description of the rifle, for the insurance (ex.: 1934 Winchester model 52 .22 Hornet with fancy wood).
I'm probably forgetting details, but there are others who will probably weigh in.
