Shipping and Returns

SHIPPING A FIREARM - FFL'S AND TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP

Brotherhoodarms.net 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 hold a valid FFL, Brotherhoodarms.net 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. 
  • to contact the FFL if they're a non-preferred dealer
  • to complete all required paperwork when you pick up your purchase from your local dealer

Be aware that it is customary for your local dealer to charge a transfer fee at the time you pick up your purchase. This transfer fee is strictly between you and your local dealer. Please check with your local dealer concerning their policies. You do not pay Brotherhoodarms.net the transfer fee.

The buyer is responsible for contacting their transferring FFL to request they send a copy of their FFL to us

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 unfired. 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. Manufacturer repaired firearms can be returned directly to the customer without additional FFL transfer or associated fees. Brotherhoodarms.net will provide a prepaid label to ship the firearm to the manufacturer, if a prepaid label is not covered under their warranty.
  • 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.

USED FIREARMS

  • Used Guns: Customers have 10 calendar days from the date of transfer to request a return. Brotherhoodarms.net will accept a return on your used item for a full refund during this time frame if the item is malfunctioning. Shipping arrangements for the used item will be made solely at Brotherhoodarms.net discretion.
  • If items are found defective upon receipt, Brotherhoodarms.net will provide YOUR CHOICE of a replacement item (pending availability) or full refund AND pay the return shipping cost.
