Shipping
Hello, and
welcome to our “Shipping” page. Specific shipping amounts are indicated in each
auction. Insurance is included with all purchases and often times an adult
signature is required. Because of agreements with our Consignors, the following
applies: We try to ship not later than 1-2 business days of clearing your
payment and/or receiving your credit card deposit. The credit card companies
hold your payments up to four days before depositing into our account. Please read everything below and many thanks for your diligence.
Note:
By ATF law, firearms can only be shipped to the “Premises Address” on your
dealer’s license and adult signatures will be required.
CARRIERS: We exclusively ship through FedEx for long-guns,
etc., and USPS for hand-guns, etc. If you’re buying a hand-gun, it is important
to ask your dealer if he can receive deliveries from the Post Office at his
“Premises Address”! Also, we try to always send you the tracking number so
please let us know if you haven’t received one.
LOCAL
PICKUP IS NOT AVAILABLE.
PACKAGING: All items are very carefully packaged (by a gorgeous, blond, shipping
manager!) to ensure happy deliveries. If we get boxes from our Consignors, we
will use them and their packing materials (if possible). We will then reflect
this in a lower shipping amount in the auction. If boxes from the Consignors
are not available, we use brand-new, heavy-duty shipping boxes (for long guns),
custom made for us by a local company—the quality packing materials are also
new! These new boxes are a considerable expense so sometimes our shipping rates
may seem a little high. Seriously, we are not
trying to make money on shipping, we actually lose money more often than we gain
any!
DESTINATIONS: We ship only within
our Continental United States. We will also ship to Alaska and Hawaii at
additional cost (you must ask for quote before bidding).
Once the shipping facility receives your item, we are no longer responsible for
its delivery and/or damage or loss (they are!). We will help, of course, but
you’ll also have to deal with them. Fortunately, this is a rare occurrence.
Here’s a deal for you: To see if you’ve read this far, email me that you have,
and we will only ship your long gun in the new boxes. And to sweeten the deal,
we will include in your package, a refund of any overage of shipping costs.
This is a temporary offer we’re doing as a test.
