RETURNS & CANCELED ORDERS
All canceled and returned orders will be charged a 30% restocking fee. All sales are final, included are firearms, ammunition, and optics. Any order that surpasses 21 days and we haven’t received the requested documents for your order. Your order will be canceled, and funds returned minus the 30% restocking fee.
ORDER FULLFILMENT
All orders are shipped promptly from a distributor warehouse or in-store inventory within 3 - 10 business days using UPS, FedEx, or USPS. Tracking numbers are available for items shipped via UPS and FedEx. Our Flat rate shipping policy only qualifies for the lower 48 states. We currently do not offer shipping to states outside the lower 48 and international. If an order is placed outside of the stated perimeters it will be cancelled and issued a restock fee. Orders cannot be processed and will be flagged as fraud if the billing and shipping address DO NOT match. Orders will then be replaced via gift card to place the order correctly. 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.
AMMUNITION PURCHASES
You must be 18 or older to purchase rifle or shotgun ammunition and 21 or older to purchase handgun ammunition. All ammunition will be shipped ground with adult signature required and sales on these items are final. Always make sure to use the correct ammunition for your specific firearms. Check your local laws for any other regulations. Customers are responsible and must follow all local, state and federal laws. Please research before ordering if you are unsure about your local laws.
FAILED BACKGROUND CHECK
Firearms are subject to a minimum of 30% restocking fee if authorized for return due to the additional paperwork required. American Arms Inc is not responsible for the reimbursement of any shipment costs or transfer fees due to a firearm being returned. A 30% restocking fee will be charged for FFL items that need to be shipped back to us due to an ATF Form 4473 denial. In other words, if you fail your background check and want your FFL to ship the item back to us, then we refund your order, less the original shipping charge and less a American Arms Inc 30% restocking fee. If you fail your background check when picking your firearm up from us, there will be a 30% restocking fee, minus any shipping fees.
NO RETURNS ON FIREARMS AFTER TRANSFER
We DO NOT accept returns on firearms once they have been transferred from your local dealer to you. No exceptions. If there is an issue with your order, please DO NOT accept transfer and contact us so that we can fix any issues with your local dealer directly. Once firearms are transferred they are considered used and we can not sell it as a new firearm. That is the reason for this policy.
USED FIREARMS
The seller provides all descriptions for used items. All descriptions for used items are honest and based on actual items being offered for sale. Items being sold in this manner will be marked as such. All sales on used items are final. Photos will be provided when available. All machine guns are considered used unless otherwise noted.
