No, but not sure what/where your area is. If you provide that, we can probably offer some suggestions.

That’s the point, so if you order from your trusty FFL, they would make the sale.

As far as I've seen yes.
I've used 2A Zone they're pretty good.

Is it normal for all FFL’s across the US to charge fees just to take in a dealer transfer?

Yes.

What dealers charge to facilitate transfers varies across the USA.

Example...
... some AZ dealers charge $25 to facilitate transfers of firearms that are shipped to them.
... some MD dealers charge $300 to facilitate transfers of firearms that are shipped to them.
It all varies and is dependent upon local laws/regulations/fees.

For CA...

A CA FFL dealer can legally charge any amount of money to facilitate a non-PPT, in addition to the CA DROS fees.

A CA FFL dealer can legally charge $10 to facilitate a PPT, in addition to the CA DROS fees.
^A PPT = face to face private party transfer between CA residents that is facilitated by a CA FFL dealer
~If one of the parties involved is a non-resident of CA, then it's not a PPT and considered a type of dealer transfer.
~If the firearm is shipped, then it's not a PPT and considered a type of dealer transfer.

During the last 20 years, I've been quoted from $40 - $350 from a variety of CA FFL dealers in SoCal.
~IMO, $50-60 + DROS is a good deal for CA.

When ordering a CA legal firearm online, you need to factor in additional costs:
1. CA tax.
2. Shipping fees to the CA FFL dealer that will transfer it to you.
3. CA FFL dealer transfer fees.
4. CA DROS fees.
