No, according to the CA Attorney General website, you do not.

Q: "I am not an FFL but I want to ship a firearm to a California FFL. Do I have to obtain a Firearms Shipment Approval number before shipping a firearm to California?
A: No. The requirement to obtain a Firearms Shipment Approval number only applies to holders of valid FFLs."
Yup. Just overnight it UPS or FedEx and that's it. An FFL like myself has to comply with the CFLC. I don't mind as I ship about 10-12 shipments to CA every week.

I currently only serve local customers and do not ship ammunition. Thanks for understanding.
