shipping a firearm
Do a FFL dealer have to send me a copy of their license in order to send the firearm to them.

Not unless you're are also licensed. If you hold no FFL, by regulation a dealer need only send you their FFL number, which you can then verify using the FFL EZ Check system FFLeZCheck 3.1.2 - Federal Firearms License Search (atf.gov)
Many here will disagree, and have done so on numerous occasions, but the regulations are quite clear on the matter.

As Mark mentioned, the eZ-check system is the best for both parties. It verifies for the shipper that it is legitimate, and it stops copies of the FFL from floating around to be altered.

An individual can MAIL long guns USPS but must use "common carrier" (FedEx, UPS) for handguns and they insist on overnight to keep their employees from stealing it.
An FFL holder can mail handguns to another FFL so it might save you money to ask you LGS to mail it for you.
I always printed out the EZ Check info for the post office along with a letter stating "The package contains an unloaded firearm, no ammunition or other hazardous items and is being mailed to a Federal Firearms Licensee" - not required but really made things go smoother, I'm sure.
