However, how can you argue with a shipping clerk who scans your shipment, decides its a firearm and turns it over to local authorities. Some do ship firearms as parts and do get away with it.

Yes, shipping, but you are quoting regulations and company rules.
Just because you talked to somebody, it is not right information.
We have collectively dealt with this for years, it is a part. And you can go on the same pages and find the definition of a handgun being shipped by an FFL - then it states that FFL 03's may ship handguns (antique), which makes no sense, anyone in the USA can ship a handgun that is an antique.

Please read the last line,
regulated component - who regulates what a firearm is? BATF - thus this says that frame or receiver is the part regulated. BATF - not fedex, not ups, not USPS - but the ATF.
