Your asking great questions, so let me try to answer them for you.
From my experience generally no. This is because they do not want the box to scream "GUN - STEAL ME" since there are thefts of packages sent USPS, UPS, and Fed Ex. I have seen a few companies use their name, but thats a rare exception. I used to use the initials of my company name on the return address, and the other local FFL's that I know here still do (I learned it from them).
Also not all stores that sell/ship firearms have a firearm themed name.
Yes, both the shipping FFL must record the disposition to the FFL he shipped the firearm to. Also, once received the receiving FFL must also record the firearm as an acquisition.
How does the receiving FFL know who the firearm goes to? Hopefully the shipper put some form of receipt for payment, etc in the box indicating the buyer, so the receiving FFL will know who it is for. At times it does not happen though, and then the receiving FFL has to call/email and try to track down what the deal is with the mystery firearm.
Doesn't it say on the box? like every gun store around here has words that define firearms in the name. Shouldn't the box say something like FROM Heavy Armory store/shop?
Not, john smith 555 lol-lane ?

and won't the ffl have to record whats in stock/transfer? and from WHO!
Most important how does the FFL know who the gun goes to? you gotta fill out the 4473 when picking up..
