I'm not sure how far NW your son is. Bohn's Ace Hardware in Woodstock and Ugly Mike's Gun Shop in McHenry (both far NW) offer good transfer fees, at least the last time I used them anyway. I don't know about any requirement for a transfer coming from an FFL, though.
On Target in Crystal Lake does accept transfers from non-FFLs. Transfers there are $35. FAQ Link View Quote
The info from that link states otherwise:
Do you do FFL Transfers?
Yes, OnTarget offers FFL Transfer-ins, which means receiving a firearm
from an alternate FFL and transferring it to you, our customer. This type of transaction usually occurs when a private party purchases a firearm online and needs it transferred to a local FFL. We also offer FFL Transfer-outs, which consists of us receiving a firearm from a customer and transferring it out to an alternate FFL. The latter type of transaction usually takes place if a private party sells a firearm online and needs to send it to the buyer.
How much does an FFL Transfer Cost?
FFL Transfer-ins are $35.00 for Members and
$50.00 for non-Members.
