Yes, you can ship an item to yourself from one residence to another. He can be the shipper and receiver.
Pretty hard to ship from yourself when you are in another state...

Is the shipper simply the
owner ?
Under the UCC the “shipper” is
a person that enters into a contract of transportation with a carrier..
In the case of shipping a firearm without an FFL must the consignor also be the consignee, must the consignee also be the shipper, must the consignor be the consignee and the shipper?
According to the USPS is the mailer equivalent to shipper?
USPS:

May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U.S. Postal Service?
A nonlicensee may not transfer a firearm to a non-licensed resident of another state. A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of their own state or to a licensee in any state.
The U.S. Postal Service recommends that long guns be sent by registered mail and that no marking of any kind which would indicate the nature of the contents be placed on the outside of any parcel containing firearms.
Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun.
