Shipping it in separate parts in more than one package is also an aid to preventing theft of a complete handgun. Most package handlers wouldn't bother with "just parts"... but if they suspect it might be a $1000 handgun or more, then it might just fall off the truck or be reported as just being left on the porch because no one was home at delivery time... I know a guy who lost a STEN subgun that way...
