TRANSFER PROCESS INFORMATION:

---

We do accept transfers from other dealers.  

• Transfer fee is $25 per serialized firearm.  
• $125 per NFA item plus $40 for the Silencer Shop E-Filing service.   
• $50 fee for all Blind Transfers that we are not notified about.
• $10 NICS Background Check Fee w/o Valid Georgia Weapon Carry Permit.

• We charge a fee for transfers to cover our time to process the transfer, storage of the items, and cost of our supplies for the paperwork associated with the transfer.   Since the firearm was not purchased from us, we do not get any of the profit from the sale.  We are providing a service by doing the legal, customer facing portion, not them. 

• We would be unable to transfer you the firearm.  We are also unable to transfer it to anyone other than the person who ordered the firearm.   You would be responsible for contacting the seller to arrange return shipping and for a refund.   Way may offer to buy the firearm from you, but it may not be the price you paid for it.  It will depend on the market value and the cost of us buying it new.  

• If the firearm stays in our possession for more than 45 days without any contact from the buyer or arrangement for it to be sent back to the seller, we will consider the firearm abandoned and will sell it to cover storage and paperwork costs. 

• A Blind Transfer is shipping a firearm purchased online to our shop without notifying us of the delivery or asking us if we are able to accept the transfer.  All we ask is to please let us know what is coming and from where.  Sometimes information is left out of the shipment and we do not know what is coming in for whom at times.   

• FFL Transfers are a service we provide our customers.  It's not a requirement we have to do so.  It's in effect to deter future blind transfers and to enforce our policies.  We charge the $50 fee for all Blind Transfers because we are not notified about it and it causes confusion, frustration, and delays in processing a transfer.  We are required by law to log in where a firearm originated from, and we cannot do this without the proper FFL or ID.  No contact information or transfer info will cause delays in processing a transfer.

• Shipping delays and lost packages can occur and we are not responsible for any of it.  The gun was not purchased from us.  We can not assist you in those instances if we are not expecting it or  do not know it coming as well. We have had several occurrences on customers showing up and asking for the gun and it was delivered to the wrong address, not dropped off yet, is buried in with the daily deliveries, or there is zero contact info on who it belongs to.

•  Please wait until we have contacted you to schedule a pickup time for your firearm! We receive multiple packages daily, and it takes time to open boxes, log firearms in, and process all the paperwork.  

• To pick up a firearm you must present a valid, government-issued photo ID including your name, date of birth, current residence address, and signature.

• If your current residence address does not match the one on your submitted ID, you will need to also submit a government issued identification document with your current residence address. Examples of documents that may be accepted to supplement information on a driver’s license or other identification document include a vehicle registration, a recreation identification card, fishing or hunting license, a voter identification card, or a tax bill. However, the document in question must be valid and must have been issued by a government agency.

• If you possess a valid Georgia Weapon Carry License, you may present that in lieu of undergoing a NICS background check. You will still have to fill out a Form 4473, but we can avoid the NICS check. 

• It is your responsibility to make sure that the seller requires a signature for delivery from their shipper. We have had several packages containing firearms shipped to our shop that did not require a signature upon receipt and were just left at the door or in our mailbox. This has become especially a problem when receiving packages from non-FFL shippers.

• DTOM Arsenal & Armory assumes NO responsibility, financially or legally, for firearms that are stolen because the shipper did not require a signature upon receipt.

• We are required by law to log in where a firearm originated from, and we cannot do this without the proper FFL or ID.  No contact information or transfer info will cause delays in processing a transfer.

• DTOM Arsenal & Armory reserves the right to hold transfer of the firearm until we have the proper paperwork. It is your responsibility to make sure the seller includes a copy of their FFL (if applicable) or ID with firearm shipments. This has become more of a problem with packages from non-FFL shippers.
