How to recover SBR sent to wrong FFL?

Hi I recently bought an HK 556 SBR with a silencer from Side Arm Sam’s. They accidentally sent it to my FFL’s location in stafford TX and not to my actual FFL’s correct local location in Houston. The owner admits it was just an accident which I dont mind (it happens).
However he tells me that he will refund me when I would just like the gun sent to the FFL near me as planned. What’s the process for sending an SBR with a silencer from one registered FFL location to another location? Is there a specific form that I can locate for them to make this process easier?
Any help would be much appreciated. I’ve already paid for the tax stamps and the trust at the local FFL location…

Is it the same business, but with separate locations?
Yes that is exactly correct. Same FFL dealer, just sent to their other location in Stafford Tx. Same state too.
Isn't it only about a 25 minute drive or so? I would just go pick it up at the other location, if it were me.

Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Form 3 required??
The issue is that the stamps are going to take 6 months to be approved and come in. I chose this FFL so I could go at-least fire the gun at their range while waiting for the stamp to arrive.
They are just over an hour away with no traffic.
In that case, I would just have the one FFL send it to the other. It should be no problem for them to do, particularly if it is a branch of the same business. You might have to pay for the shipping or something, and maybe work that out with the seller.

Thanks! Can anyone confirm, is a form 3 all they would need to do a transfer?
Your FFL is asking you to figure this out for them?
Yes, a form 3 will need to be done even if it is between 2 stores owned by the same company. Form 3s are fast, only take a week or two. Have the store transfer it to the closer location, maybe have whoever screwed up pay them for the minor hassle.
Just pick it up there. Doing another transfer will likely get screwed up
