Do gun stores mind online orders being shipped to them?

My dealer is perfectly okay with it. He charges $20.00 to do the transfer and says it's good money for 10 minutes worth of work, especially since he has ZERO invested in the sale.

The recieving dealer will have to be an active participant in the transaction so alerting them before hand is a requirement.

They will need to send their info to the shipper before the process can even begin.

I have a shop around the corner that doesn't mind so much that I just take the ad or website info to them and they do the actual ordering for me and only charge me $25

There is another that charges $10 for regular customers

I have only met one so far that had any issue with it and his was that people ordered things that he already had on his shelf, sometimes at a higher price.

For those people he charged half the price of the gun as a transfer fee, and told them why.

It would seem that they don't mind so much if the firearm in question is something that they do not have in stock and can't get for whatever reasons. I'm pretty sure they mind a great deal, if the firearm you are having shipped to them, from an online dealer, is one that they do keep in stock.

But the best thing to do is to talk to the shop in question, to see if they mind, and if they don't mind, and what fees they happen to charge for the transfer.

On a side note, for myself, if the shipping, and transfer fees do not make up the difference between an instock item with tax, by at least $100, I would just buy the item instock. But that's me.

They will charge you about $25 or so to do the paper work. the ones that don't want to do the receive will tell you, and usually point you to a dealer who will handle it for you. BEFORE the gun ships, the shipper will have to have a copy of the receiving dealers FFL. Standard procedure, and everyone is aware.

Some do, some do not. Best to shop around. Also some states have a fixed fee they can charge, others do not. Find out and shop around. My dealer charges $35 and tosses in the $10 background check.

Like you've already been told it will depend on the shop owner, you're going to need to talk to them in advance since the on-line seller cannot ship a firearm without a signed copy of the receiver's FFL on file.

For decades, the law required the shipping FFL dealer to posess a signed photocopy of the receiving FFL's license before they could ship. So - how you get a gun to be shipped without the receiving dealer knowing about it - would be a mystery to me........unless it was a buyer the receiving dealer told you about.

Pick up the phone and talk to the place you want to receive.

If they say no, go to the next one. Not that hard.

If they don't want to do it they simply won't do it. It is a pretty easy $20-$30 bucks for them.

they will tell you no if they do not like it. Any money they make in my area is good so I never have a problem with it.
