Shipping your Firearm
(call for physical shipping address: 928.636.1726)

Please consult your local FFL dealer for assistance in shipping your firearm. All complete firearms must be taken to a UPS or FedEx hub (we prefer FedEx). You are required by law to declare that you're shipping a handgun. UPS and FedEx regulations require that all complete handguns be shipped Next Day Air. Long guns may be shipped ground service. Federal regulations require adult signature upon delivery.

NOTE: Do not include ammunition with your firearm. If you need to ship ammo, it must be sent separately.

  • The gun should be packed securely so there will be no damage to sights, etc. The original manufacturers' box provides good protection, but any good box with the item cushioned within to prevent movement will do the job. (Long gun cardboard boxes will not be returned to you.)
  • Insure for replacement value.
  • Return address requirements: Physical Address (NO "shipping centers" or PO Boxes) Your gun will be returned to the address it is checked in from.
  • Inside the box, be sure to include your name, address, daytime phone number, type of gun, serial number, and clear, complete instructions covering the work to be done. Specify caliber, model, accessories, and special features.
  • Please be sure of your work order details when sending your initial order.

We will allow the first change free if work has not progressed too far. Additional changes will be subject to a charge of $25.00 per instance. We strongly urge that any changes be submitted IN WRITING. Although we will discuss changes over the phone, we will not be held responsible for changes that were not requested in writing.

Return Shipping: The gun will be returned directly to the owner/address from which it was received, or an approved FFL holder.
