Using FFL Dealers

Recommended Posts

I haven't order a gun online yet, but looking into guns broker.com they said to ship it to an FFL Dealer. I understand it can only go to a licence dealer but when I hit search there are like 15 people within 5 miles of me. Some have their own in house store and online guns. How does this work? Do I tell the company to send it to them and pay a service fee or just use one of these guys online gun store and go directly through them? Have you guys done this much? Any recommendation of someone in the east valley around elliot and recker?

Usually how it works is you purchase the gun online and before they ship it they will require a faxed copy of the FFL license of the business you would like it sent to. Before I had my own I would contact whatever gun shop or dealer I wanted to go through and let them know of my intention. Once the purchase was made online I would have my local shop send the info over and a couple days later go pick up my firearm and fill out paper work.

I have used a guy out in San Tan Valley/Queen Creek a few times that does it out of his house. He has been really good and easy to work with, and I have found that most online gun stores I have checked with have his info on file. There was one online store that didn't so he reached out to them on my behalf to get them the info they needed. I just sent him a copy of my online receipt and he took care of it. They ship straight to him and he lets me know as soon as it arrives. I think that is relatively common. My guy charges a flat $20 or $15 for military, law enforcement, or individuals with a CCW.

It's not as complicated as u would think. Just find one, most gun shops around u will do it for a minimal fee, and give it a shot. You can get much better deals from gunbroker rather than buying local. Even with the shipping and FFL transfer fees. I dont even remember the last time i bought from a local dealer. Just make sure u buy from a verified seller. Read the feedback. It will say a lot.

I haven't done it lately, but as I recall on GunBroker as you go thru the process of buying your gun they give you a list and you select an Ffl near you. Then you complete your transaction. I always contacted the local guy and told him what I was doing. That way everyone was on the same page. They make it easy.

Another thing to pay attention to on gun broker is whether the seller is a licensed dealer or just some guy without a FFL who is selling his own gun. I always bought from sellers with a FFL and had them ship to a gun shop by me. It always went smooth.

I have used the gun shop at Rio Salado Accuracy Speaks, Brunos, and Healy Arms. Recommend Healys. The last time I tried to send a gun to Accuracy, the other gun store couldn't get them to answer an e-mail to send a copy of their FFL. Brunos was 40.00, most I've ever paid, and the gun was there 3 days before I could even pick it up. Healys= No Problem, even a discount for CCW holders.
