Shipping?

I bought a gun, had it shipped to an FFL and transferred to me. Afterwards I discovered some serious issues with it and returned it. I have now purchased it again at a lower price and was wondering if it could legally be shipped directly to me. It's going to be sent to an FFL but I would like to know.

As long as your the legal owner. And had it in your possession previously. Don't see how it would be any different, from the above.
An individual may ship a firearm in interstate commerce to a licensee for repair or customizing, & have it returned directly to him. The situation you describe does not meet this definition.
See ATF P5300.4, page 123.
If you are talking about a "handgun", the legal procedure would require shipping by UPS or Fedex Next Day Air, which is very expensive.

EDIT: Yes, I am sure. Both carriers have their "Tariff" on their websites. Some businesses have negotiated second day air & other means of shipping, but us common folk are restricted to Next Day Air for handguns. You could lie to USPS or UPS or Fedex, & declare your package contents as "machine parts"; personally, I hate prison food, so I would never do that.
You returned it and got a refund - you nullified the sale
After that it's start from scratch like with any other purchase
