Have a relative that went out of state and left a couple of hand guns she inherited from her father here in Virginia several years ago with another relative to keep until she returned to Va. but decided to stay and now is a resident of Florida.
Now she would like to have her guns with her at her new home in Florida...
If she comes back to visit could she being the owner retrieve them and take them back to her new home or would she need to ship them through a licensed dealer?
Fees with the dealer I checked with are $50 per plus shipping.
Would there also be a fee with the dealer in Fl. also?
Would be very expensive for her on her fixed income.

If the weapons belong to her, and are not NFA items, and she can lawfully possess the weapons per federal, VA State Law and FL law she can transport her own weapons back to FL.
Just have her contact VA State Patrol, NC State Patrol, SC State Patrol, GA State Patrol and FL State Patrol for more in depth transportation requirements.
It sounds complicated but it's a an easy process...

You say she left them until she returned, so I say the're still her guns, she can come up and grab them.

NFA items, silencers, Short barreled rifles and shotguns, machine guns, etc. Things that require a tax stamp.

You are permitted to ship firearms to yourself in another state provided you legally possess them in both states. You may also ship them "care of" another person in the recipient state. https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/may-nonl...lawful-activityIf she owns them, there is no need for a dealer/FFL to get involved. She may also transport them herself. Federal law (McClure Volkmer Act) permits interstate travel of firearms provided the origin and destination are legal possession. You can drive through a state where the firearm is not legal provided you keep it secured in the trunk, don't remove it, and only stop for overnight stay such as in a motel.
