From the blog post:

There are no country restrictions, and only standard restrictions for things like guns, gold, and humans.

I'm curious why the restrictions on firearms? The USPS has no restrictions on shipping and insuring firearms that are mailed in compliance with federal law.

IANAL, but I don't think it is legal to ship a firearm across state lines to anyone other than an FFL Dealer (Federal Firearms License)

Yes, this is true. It's a violation of federal law to ship to an individual out of state. It is, however, legal to ship to individuals within the state or to FFLs either way. It's very common for firearms purchased over the internet to be sent USPS to the local FFL, and it's common for individuals to ship firearms to manufacturers, FFLs or smiths directly as well.
