This FFL Transfer Policy explains how STX Bullseye handles firearm orders that require shipment to a receiving federal firearms licensee (FFL) or lawful local pickup. Read it with the Terms & Conditions, Shipping Policy, and Refund & Returns Policy.
Overview
Online customers may select a receiving FFL for regulated products during checkout when required. An online order and payment do not complete Form 4473 online. The receiving dealer (or STX Bullseye for local pickup) completes the required transfer process before possession.
Selecting a Receiving Dealer
When your cart contains items that require an FFL transfer, checkout provides a dealer-selection step so you can choose a receiving FFL. You must select a dealer that can lawfully receive the item. STX Bullseye may reject a dealer selection that cannot be verified or that does not accept the transfer.
Contact the Dealer Before Checkout
Before placing an order, contact the receiving FFL to confirm that it accepts transfers of your firearm type, understands any special requirements, and can schedule your transfer after arrival.
Transfer Fees
These fees apply to an outside firearm sent to STX Bullseye for an inbound transfer:
- Standard transfer: $35 per firearm. The firearm is held until the next business day after it arrives so the paperwork and included items can be checked, and is then ready for pickup.
- Expedited same-day transfer: $10 more per firearm ($45 total). The firearm is made ready for pickup on the day it arrives. Request it when you contact STX Bullseye about the transfer. Same-day release still depends on the paperwork, identification, and any required background check being completed that day.
- Stocking fee: $25 per firearm. Charged once if the firearm has not been picked up within 7 business days after it arrives. Contact STX Bullseye before then if you need more time.
Transfer and stocking fees are paid in person before release. A firearm purchased directly from STX Bullseye does not carry a separate STX Bullseye transfer fee for local pickup. NFA transfer availability and pricing must be confirmed before shipment. For outbound shipments, the receiving FFL selected by the customer may independently charge its own fee; confirm that dealer’s fee before checkout.
Submitting a Current Signed License
If STX Bullseye does not already have a current copy of the receiving dealer’s Federal Firearms License, the dealer may be asked to provide one before shipment. Follow checkout and dealer instructions for submitting license copies.
License Verification
STX Bullseye may verify the receiving license before shipping, including through available verification resources such as ATF FFL eZ Check where appropriate. If a license cannot be verified, shipment may be delayed or the order may be cancelled.
Release Only Through Lawful Transfer
The firearm is released only through the receiving dealer’s lawful transfer process. Required paperwork, identity verification, and any applicable background check occur in that process—not as a completed Form 4473 submitted through ordinary website forms.
Payment Does Not Guarantee Transfer
Payment for an online order does not guarantee that a transfer will be approved, completed, or released. Transfer outcomes depend on applicable law, identification, background-check results when required, receiving-dealer procedures, and related compliance requirements.
Delays, Denials, Refusal, or Abandonment
If a transfer is delayed, denied, refused by the receiving dealer, abandoned by the customer, or otherwise cannot be completed, contact STX Bullseye promptly. A delayed transfer remains subject to the lawful transfer process and does not automatically cancel the order. The firearm must remain with, or be returned through, a lawful FFL. Cancellation or refund eligibility depends on lawful return, condition, supplier return eligibility where applicable, and STX Bullseye’s ability to recover committed funds. A denial, refusal, or abandonment does not by itself guarantee a refund.
Customer Cost Responsibility
When a transfer cannot be completed for reasons not caused by an STX Bullseye error, the customer may be responsible for documented return shipping, receiving-FFL charges, distributor restocking charges, carrier charges, and other properly disclosed nonrecoverable third-party costs under the Refund & Returns Policy. Customer-caused costs will not be applied when the transfer problem resulted from an STX Bullseye error.
Local Pickup Procedures
For an incoming outside transfer, STX Bullseye receives, inspects, and enters the firearm before contacting you. The firearm is ready for pickup the next business day after receipt, or the same day with expedited processing (see Transfer Fees). Wait for STX Bullseye’s ready-for-pickup confirmation before coming in, and pick up within 7 business days after arrival to avoid the stocking fee. This store processing schedule does not apply to an ordinary firearm purchased directly from STX Bullseye. For any lawful local pickup, bring valid government-issued photo ID and complete all required transfer steps before release.
Name and Identification Consistency
The name and identification used for the transfer must match the lawful transferee. Bring current government-issued photo ID. Additional documentation may be required by law or by the receiving dealer.
Prohibited Straw Purchases
Straw purchases and other unlawful acquisition methods are prohibited. Do not buy a firearm for someone who is prohibited from possessing one, or allow another person to complete a transfer under false pretenses. Suspected unlawful activity may result in order cancellation and may be reported as required by law.
