Licenses and regulations |
|
Export licenses for international orders are required in order to send firearms or
ammunition components. To obtain an export license we need the following items: An order
for the goods desired, and an import permit for these items or a letter from the government
of the destination country stating no license is required. You may be required by the U.S.
Department of State to obtain the license for additional items. We suggest large orders
which can be broken into smaller shipments since a license is good for 48 months or until
all goods have been shipped, whichever comes first.

What is that extra charge or credit on my card? |
|
At the time your order is placed we retrieve only enough money from your credit card to
initially cover the merchandise and the "estimated shipping cost" which is computer
generated. Only when the items are pulled from the shelf, put in a box with packing protection
and wrapped, the actual shipping weight is known. At that time the order is invoiced,
and depending whether the estimate was high or low, we either issue a credit or seek the
additional funds.
Please note that the estimated shipping cost might become inaccurate if the order
contains big items that need to be shipped in multiple boxes. If in doubt, please
give us a call and our friendly phone staff will be happy to assist you with any questions.

Why don't you just charge a flat shipping fee? |
|
Companies that use flat rate shipping are making lots of additional money at your
expense. They can profit from portions of the shipping fees which aren't necessary,
but are charged anyway to give you that "flat rate." We only charge exactly what it costs
to get the package from us to you.
