You only need an export licence for FAC guns.
The problem is finding a carrier, it's nothing to do with legality but carriers like the easy life - guns would be 0.0001% of their business, so with or without, they don't care - too much hassle for them to check whether a gun is a low powered air pistol legally owned and posted, or an illegal firearm.
The regulations at the other end are the receiver's business, as you say, whether picked up, delivered, or whatever - he is the "importer".
