1. General Principles

  • All sales are subject to verification, compliance checks, and applicable waiting periods.
  • Firearms and certain regulated items are restricted by law and therefore have limited return and refund eligibility.
  • We reserve the right to refuse returns that do not meet the conditions outlined in this Policy.

2. Firearms (Including GLOCK® Pistols)

2.1 Transfer Through FFL

  • All firearms must be shipped to a valid Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder selected by the customer.
  • Ownership transfers to the customer only after successful completion of the background check and legal transfer at the FFL.

2.2 Returns of Firearms

  • No returns are accepted once a firearm has been transferred to the customer by the FFL, except where required by law.
  • If a firearm is rejected by the FFL prior to transfer (e.g., failed background check or legal ineligibility), the firearm may be returned to us untransferred.

2.3 Refunds for Rejected Transfers

  • If a transfer is rejected, refunds (if applicable) will be issued minus:
    • Shipping costs (both outbound and return)
    • FFL transfer or handling fees
    • A restocking fee (typically 15–25%, depending on condition and manufacturer policies)
  • Refunds are processed only after the firearm is returned to us in new, unfired condition.

2.4 Manufacturer Warranty
