GENERAL FIREARM SALES

All firearms, magazines, receivers and restricted law enforcement items are sold and shipped in accordance with all existing federal, state and local laws and regulations, however it is the sole responsibility of the customer to know any restrictions within the state, and local laws when purchasing these items. Many of the firearms, magazines and parts for sale on this website may be restricted or prohibited in your area. Please check your local and state regulations before ordering.

All new firearms are shipped in the original manufacturer's box, with magazine(s), accessories and applicable warranty. Firearms sales are final. Damaged product is case to case. If a firearm is damaged please submit all data to defensedepot.com. Firearms requiring warranty work must be returned to the factory within 1 year of purchase for repair. Accessories and special order items not normally sold by our store will not be covered under warranty even if these products are part of an integrated firearms package, unless we have guaranteed the entire package in writing. Please contact the original manufacturer for warranty information on all accessories and special order items.

PURCHASING FIREARMS ONLINE

It is illegal to ship firearms to anyone not holding an active Federal Firearms License (FFL). For that reason, firearms purchased online may picked up at our store or shipped to an FFL (gun store) near you. We may contact and verify the FFL you select during checkout before we ship your firearm(s). It is the customer's sole responsibility to contact the receiving FFL dealer prior to making their purchase to ensure that the receiving dealer will accept the firearm and complete the transfer. Each FFL dealer charges a fee to perform the transfer to the end customer. This fee varies from dealer to dealer and it is the customer's responsibility to obtain this information.

PURCHASING OPTICS/LIGHTS/LASERS ONLINE

Due to the increase of fraudulent orders, any optic, weapon light, or laser is subject to an adult signature required delivery.

CHANGING, MODIFYING, SUBSTITUTING ORDERS

We do not allow orders to be changed or modified once placed.

CANCELLED ORDERS

IN ORDER TO PROCESS A CANCELLED ORDER, YOU MUST FILL OUT THE REFUND AGREEMENT AND SIGN. WITHOUT A REFUND AGREEMENT, AN ORDER CAN NOT AND WILL NOT BE CANCELLED. All cancelled orders will be charged a 15% cancelation fee. All sales are final, included are firearms, ammunition, accessories, and optics. Any order that surpasses 21 days and defensedepot.com has not received the requested documents for your order; your order will be cancelled, and funds returned minus the 15% cancelation fee. Cancelled orders must be requested in writing (email) to be processed as documentation will be sent via email. If the parameters for a cancellation fee are necessary, the customer must agree to those as well in writing or the refund CANNOT be processed. Cancelled order/refunds can take up to 10 business days before they can be processed depending on the bank. Orders processed to shipping or orders that have been shipped cannot be cancelled.

ORDER FULLFILMENT

All orders are shipped promptly from a distributor warehouse or in-store inventory within 5 - 10+ business days once all documentation (FFL) has been received using UPS, FedEx, or USPS. (Orders can take longer at high volumes of orders.) Tracking numbers are available for items shipped via USPS, UPS and FedEx once the item has been processed though shipping. Our Flat rate shipping policy only qualifies for the lower 48 states and certain item categories. We currently do not offer shipping to states outside the lower 48 and international. We also do not combine orders for shipping. If an order is placed outside of the stated perimeters, it will be canceled and issued a restock fee. Orders cannot be processed if the billing and shipping address DO NOT match. If an order is for a serialized item or firearm the system will dictate it as such and it will be sent to the chosen FFL. DO NOT put the FFL as the shipping address. If an order is damaged, lost or stolen the customer is responsible to contact the carrier to file a claim. If the receiving party is unavailable for delivery, the customer is responsible to make new arrangements and will cover shipping costs for items to be reshipped. If this is not completed in a 48 hour period of an item that is "returned to sender" and received, the order will be cancelled with a restock fee. The customer is responsible for items after shipment.

In the event an item goes out stock, we do have the option to back order. If after 90 days the item does not come back in stock, we can no longer hold the order and the issuing card will be refunded in full.

INSURED SHIPPING

Insured shipping is offered in the US for only the lower 48 states and covers items or packages that have been lost or damaged while in transit. Damage claims, with photos attached must be submitted to info@defensedepot.com within 24 hours of carrier confirmed delivery. Insured shipping ends upon carrier confirmed delivery. In the case of a claim, the amount paid for insured shipping will not be refunded. Insured shipping must be purchased for Defense Depot to file a claim on your behalf. If insured shipping is NOT purchased, items that are lost, damaged or stolen during transit becomes the responsibility of the customer only.
