If he only needs the slide for the work, definitely go that route. You can ship it like any other accessory or generic widget. No declaration needed.
The frame on the XDS is the controlled part.
Edit: You can also send the entire firearm, that's up to you. But the slide only will be hassle free.
Those previous prices on shipping were probably for rifles. A handgun will be in the mid $20 range - roughly. I don't have UPS worldship on this machine to do a quote.

Re: How to ship gun to an out of state gunsmith
Since it's a handgun, FedEx or UPS are your options. You're shipping to a licensee so it's perfectly legal.
Note that some box & ship outlets, or even FedEx & UPS branded substations get weird about shipping firearms.

See section B. ii. (you're shipping to a licensee)
