If you notice, they're not shipping to free States like PA or NV neither. They are pausing shipment to the listed States because those are the States that have the "non-essential business closures" in place. They probably don't want to ship a firearm to an FFL that is closed (until further notice.)

There are a number of online gun dealers that have posted notices.. advising buyers to check with their FFL to confirm that they're still open for business before placing an order.

The pistol lic. bureau in my area is closed. So I couldn't add a handgun to my license even if I could find a FFL open.

List of States with business closures..

Sorry, "we don't want to deal with it" is not a valid excuse.

Right now more than ever you need to be working with your customers to make things work. Flat out cutting them off because you can't be bothered to shoot them an email and set up a transfer? Shit business practice.

Permit office is closed in monroe county. My FFL could probably transfer a pistol but I cannot get it added to pick it up. I am not sure about NICS checks.

Permit offices are closed in most all counties and permit amendments are at a standstill. They can still be mailed in where allowed, but get added to the pile for action at some later date. NICS is up and running as usual. NY FFL's got an e-mail alert from the ATF in regards to the NYS non-essential business shutdown.

" This is an important message from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Pursuant to New York State Executive Order 202.6, non-essential businesses have been directed to close during the COVID-19 pandemic. Licensees can visit https://esd.ny.gov to determine whether your business is subject to closure. Licensees that are suspending operations should take prudent measures to ensure the safekeeping of firearms, ammunition, and records. Licensees may be requested by ATF to return to the premises to respond to firearms traces. As a reminder, immediately report any burglary or break-in to your local ATF office and to local law enforcement authorities."

Which, to clarify, the shutdown doesn't impact tabletop or sole proprietor businesses, other than the fact that no transfer coupons can be issued.
Long gun transfers are still possible.
Handgun transfers to LEOs, who can buy the handgun on their badge, are still possible
If the small sole proprietor has ammo or accessories to sell, that is still possible.

Correct... The edict that has put "NY On Pause" allows for businesses to request an exemption and be declared essential. As part of that, there is a restriction on requesting an exemption that allows the small sole proprietor to carry on.
