Firearm Shipping and Returns

Firearm Shipping Information

Free U.S.A. Shipping Firearm Orders to CONUS
All firearm orders ship free to any FFL Dealer in the Continental US.(Lower 48). Shipments to Alaska and Hawaii may incur an additional charge. 

Sportsman's Outfitters will ONLY transfer ownership of a firearm to individuals or agencies in possession of a valid Federal Firearms License (FFL). This means we cannot ship directly to you unless you are an FFL holder. 

If you do not have a valid FLL, Sportsman's Outfitters will transfer your purchased firearm to your choice of a licensed gun dealer in your state. 

  • It is your responsibility:
    • to ensure that a firearm is legal to own in your state.
      (A 15% restocking fee will be charged if you firearms has to be returned due to being illegal in your state)
    • to contact your FFL to let them know a firearm will be arriving. 
    • to complete all required paperwork when you pick up your purchase from your local dealer

Most firearms will ship FedEx.

Most orders will ship within 1 business day of receiving your valid FFL. FFL's can be email to FFL@sportsmansoutfitters.com. Please also reference your order number. 

Tracking Numbers
Once your order ships, it will be assigned a tracking number. If you provided an email address, you will receive an email with this information. You may also login to your account at any time to track your order.

New Firearm Returns

VERY IMPORTANT - FIREARM RETURNS!! Please take your time to inspect all firearms thoroughly BEFORE proceeding with the transfer. Once a new firearm is transferred to you, it is considered used, even if un-fired. Consequently, we cannot accept returns on firearms once they have been transferred into your possession.

Also, we DO NOT reimburse FFL transfer fees on returned items. **Upon discovering a defect AFTER the transfer, the firearm MUST be returned directly to the manufacturer for replacement or repair (in accordance with manufacturer's warranty policy). By sending a defective firearm directly to the manufacturer, you can avoid the unnecessary transfer fees associated with returning the firearm to us through your local FFL dealer. 

In the case of failed background checks and incorrect ordering original shipping charges are NOT refunded if the item is NOT found to be defective. Customers will be responsible for return shipping in these cases. These orders may be subject to a 10% restocking fee.

If you have any questions about our firearm shipping policy, need a shipping quote, or have a special shipping request, please reach out to us at customercare@sportsmansoutfitters.com or Toll Free at 866-331-3937.
