No transfers from Bud's

Dear customers,

Regretfully, Precise Shooter will no longer handle FFL transfers from Bud's Gunshop.

For security reasons we do not accept firearms shipments at our location. Shipments are placed on Will Call, and we then pick them up from the carrier. They are then stored at a secure offsite storage facility until the time of transfer.

Unfortunately, Bud's does not allow placing their shipments on Will Call, even after the first delivery has failed. This serves absolutely no purpose as UPS places all orders on Will Call after the third delivery failure, regardless of whether the shipper allowed this or not. No firearm distributor other than Bud's exercises this option, and until we started accepting shipments from Bud's, we did not even know it existed.

Making an exception from our regular process for Bud's shipments is expensive and time consuming. We are striving to be the lowest cost firearms dealer, and efficiency is key.

We have tried for weeks to resolve this with Bud's but have not received a single response to our pleas. Therefore, we will no longer be accepting transfers from this online retailer.

However, we will match Bud's price on any firearm that we do not have in stock but can special-order from our distributors. We work with the 6 biggest distributors in the country, so we can almost always order any firearm that is available from Bud's. In most cases, the firearm will be here sooner, and in most cases, this will save you the cost of transfer (in rare cases we will match the total cost of the firearm as ordered from Bud's, including the $25 we normally charge for transfer).

Keep in mind that whether the purchase is local or not, taxes are still charged on all firearms, included those bought on the Internet, so you will not be saving on tax by buying online.

Best regards,

Precise Shooter
