So can you order it directly or does it have to go thru a FFL? What about the lower, does it have to go thru a FFL? If I order the upper and lower do I need any other items to finish building it (other than mags and tactools)? I have always wanted to build one but I am REALLY scared about trying to do this. I have a basic knowledge of guns and can strip my shotgun/rifle down to clean it, but messing with trigger mechanisms and all the other stuff freaks me out (that's why I want to try it, in order to get over my fear/ignorance). Where is the best place to get how-to instruction on buliding one... I mean other than youtube? TIA and thanks for the shopping info

the kit can be shipped to your door. the lower needs to be shipped to an FFL. Don't worry you can't accidentally get FFL stuff shipped to your door and get in trouble. they will not ship a lower or any other FFL item to anyone but an FFL who has faxed them a copy of their license.
Literally all you need is the youtube video. Here is a good guide and there is a link to a video in it as well LINK. Seriously, you're going to laugh when you realize how easy it was to assemble and how basic the trigger is. This kit and a lower are the only items you will need to build the rifle. You will need to order a magazine (magpul or c-products with orange follower are what i use) and a rear sight at the very least. or you could throw a scope or red dot on top of it.

Only the lower receiver itself needs to go through an FFL. I built my first AR with a hammer and a vise grip. The lower is very easy to assemble, the upper is a little bit more tricky. If you are local to me and want to build an upper, I have all the tools to do it. Just let me know.
