SHIPPING POLICY

Dorchester Gun Shop Shipping

Adult Signature will still be REQUIRED. Provided you have insurance, our ONLY liability once a shipment leaves our hands is assistance with the shipping company in filing a claim. We will provide you as well as your receiving FFL (as a courtesy), detailed tracking information. WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OVER SHIPPING (DELIVERY TIMES, UNFORESEEN EVENTS OR DELAYS, BAD WEATHER, ETC.) AND/OR DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT DURING TRANSIT. Please keep in mind that reliable shipping is not cheap, especially when packages are being sent to a residential address. Factor in insurance and signature required, which can easily add $15 – $20 and higher to the actual shipping charge. To save some money on shipping, we suggest having packages sent to a business address if you can. Rates are what they are but we’re able to obtain pretty competitive rates with our UPS corporate account, which gives us a good feeling that your package will arrive safe and sound, and in a reasonable amount of time.

WE DO NOT SHIP ON WEEKENDS. We ship Monday through Friday (excluding holidays and holiday weekends) and our UPS cut-off time is 3PM (EDT/EST).

STATES WITH LIMITATIONS:

Please verify with a local FFL Dealer that the firearm you are looking at is legal to own in your area. FIREARMS MAY ONLY BE SHIPPED TO A LICENSED DEALER (FFL HOLDER). A copy of a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card (conceal carry or purchase permit) or copy of a Driver’s License is REQUIRED for all ammunition purchases, even if being shipped to the few states that require an FFL. This shall include all parties involved in the transaction, should there be different identification information for a billing and shipping address. We do not retain your information.
