For what it's worth, the last gun I wanted shipped my FFL informed me that he had to send or fax the FFL directly himself. In the past I had received copies of the FFL and sent them with payment. He told me the ATF had changed the rules because too many copies were given out and used for purchases that never were received directly by the FFL and consequently weren't logged into the book but were shown in the selling FFL book as being transfered to that FFL.
This dealer has both given me copies and faxed copies for me in the past and I don't think this was BS because we have a good relationship and no reason for mistrust on his part of me in particular.
