Procedures for Incoming Transfers (No Transfer Fee if Purchased from US Arms)
If a firearm is purchased online from someone other than U.S. Arms & Ammunition, or from another individual, and you want U.S. Arms & Ammunition to handle the incoming transfer, then you must follow these steps to avoid any delays:
While firearm transfers are an everyday occurrence in the firearms industry, issues rarely arise. However, we have to legally disclose what could happen when these rare occurrences actually happen and also document our terms and conditions of our firearms transfer service that shall be considered accepted when using our transfer services.
Pick-Up and Drop-Off: Customers may pick-up / drop-off firearms during posted business hours. Only the person directed by the shipper can take possession of the received firearm and only after that person has completed, and passed, a NICS background check for long guns or provided a N.C. pistol purchase permit or concealed carry permit for handguns).
Background Checks: Background Checks are performed at the time the firearms are to be picked up, and only for the person for which the firearm was originally sent to. If someone fails a background the check, the firearm will be returned to the FFL that transferred the firearm to us and only after we have received payment for the transfers, storage, and shipping fees. NOTE: If you are buying a gun as a gift for someone else (e.g. Family member or close friend) that can otherwise legally purchase and possess firearms, then you can legally purchase a gun in your name and later gift it to that family member or friend as a gift. However, if we believe someone is trying to buy a gun for someone that is unable to buy or legally own or possess a gun on their own, we will not perform the transfer. This is considered an illegal straw purchase and we will not support such activities.
Returned or Cancelled Transfers: Customer (intended recipient) is responsible for all return shipping charges should they wish to cancel and return a firearm to a seller. Customer (intended recipient) will also pay a $25 fee to cover the cost of recording the acquisition and deposition of the firearm.
Firearms set aside for you, firearms purchased and held while you acquire a pistol purchase permit, or firearms transferred to us: Any firearms not picked up within 30-days after the gun has been purchased, for whatever reason, even if paid for or transferred to us, are considered abandoned firearms and shall be sold. No funds shall be paid to the original buyer, seller, transferor, or transferee. Money collected from the sale of you firearm will be considered payment for liquidated damages, storage fees, etc. By purchasing guns from us or transferring guns to us, you agree to these terms and conditions.

All damage of shipped items must be noted at time of delivery and any and all claims filed with the applicable shipper. Firearm defects or malfunctions on new guns, or used guns still under warranty, must be directed to the firearm manufacturer.
Storage Fees: We understand people take vacation or may have extended tours of duty, however, if such situation occurs, please have the seller/shipper delay shipping of your firearm until you are available to take possession of such firearm.

If we are unable to contact you by phone, (e.g. Shipper does not provide a contact number, you have changed your number, or you have a voicemail that has not been set-up, or we do not have correct number), then it is your responsibility to come in and collect your firearm(s) within 30-calendar days, pay any applicable storage fees, and have the firearm(s) transferred into your name. To avoid potential straw purchases, only the sender of a firearm can change the name of the person who will receive the gun.
