I have dealt with the same issue.
You are absolutely correct. The law does not restrict where your firearm or ammunition is sent.
What he, and many in POLHQ don't get, is that the s43a is not a 'permit'. It is merely verification that that a Police Officer has sighted your licence and you are a a 'fit and proper person'.
No legal requirement to use 'their form'. No legal requirement that your purchase is sent to an 'approved location'.
Thankfully some people know the law, and aren't concerned with the Police 'interpretation'. Once the seller receives the endorsed form, they can send it anywhere you ask them too.
