So it does not have to be shipped to a FFL address/holder after repairs? Why is this?

Ischia (cool name), the answer lies in the federal statute, 18 U.S.C. § 922. Read the whole thing and consult with a lawyer before acting on it, but this is the part that authorizes a company to return your gun directly to you:
(a) It shall be unlawful-- (2) for any importer, manufacturer, dealer, or collector licensed under the provisions of this chapter to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce any firearm to any person other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector, except that-- (A) this paragraph and subsection (b)(3) shall not be held to preclude a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector from returning a firearm or replacement firearm of the same kind and type to a person from whom it was received . . . .
And here's why you have to sign for it:
(f)(2) It shall be unlawful for any common or contract carrier to deliver in interstate or foreign commerce any firearm without obtaining written acknowledgement of receipt from the recipient of the package or other container in which there is a firearm.
