TooTechHow to Ship an AR Lower to be Engraved
It's a stripped receiver, it doesn't have a short barrel installed so it's not an SBR. As such it is in Title 1 configuration, so it's a rifle.
Take it to the Post office and mail it.
Anyone else getting dizzy yet?

Not according to BATFE's
July 7, 2009 Open Letter to Federal Firearms Licensees.
Since the lower does not have a shoulder stock, it is not a rifle or shotgun, and since it does not have a short stock designed to be gripped with one hand, it is not a pistol or revolver.
Since it does not meet the tests to be a pistol, revolver, rifle, or shotgun, it is classified as "other firearm."
As to shipping via the US Mail, the USPS says non-licensees can only ship rifles and shotguns via the US Mail (see link to Pub 53, section 43 on page 1).
If you attach a shoulder stock, you can ship as a rifle. If you attach only the grip, its a handgun and a nonlicensee can't ship handguns via the US Mail.
