Recently I've run into a few manufacturers that won't ship to my mailing address because UPS won't allow them to ship anywhere but the premises address. This is a fairly recent thing for me.  I've read what's online and it just says firearms have to be shipped between FFL's.  Is there some fine print somewhere I can't find that says only to "premises address?"

FFLs May Ship Firearms to Locations Other than the Business Premises Address

ATF has received numerous inquiries asking if a Federal
firearms licensee (FFL) may ship firearms to an address
that is different from what is listed on the recipient’s
Federal firearms license.

Neither the Gun Control Act (GCA) nor its implementing regulations
contain specific provisions requiring
that an FFL have firearms shipped to his/her licensed
business premises when receiving firearms. Therefore,
an FFL may lawfully receive firearms at his/her mailing
address, storage location, or other address where the
licensee intends to ensure safe and secure receipt of the
firearms.

ATF Industry Circular 74-13 outlines “Guidelines for
Verifying Identity and Licensed Status of Transferee.” It
states, in part that “when the shipment is to be made to
an address other than the transferee’s premises as listed
on his or her license or on his or her certified list, it is
suggested that the transferor verify the address as being
that of the transferee.” ATF encourages FFLs to verify
to the best of their ability that the shipping address is a
valid location where the licensee is prepared to receive
and subsequently possess the firearms. This may require
that you contact the FFL listed on the license to verify
that the address listed is accurate. In addition, if an FFL
requires frequent delivery of firearms to an address other
than his/her licensed business premises, ATF recommends
that the shipping address be placed on file with
the Federal Firearms Licensing Center (FFLC) as an
additional mailing address. It should be noted that any
FFL receiving firearms at locations other than his/her
licensed premises must still maintain accurate records of
acquisition and disposition of firearms.

Please be advised that there may be State laws that
prohibit the receipt of firearms at a different address
than what is listed on the license.
