FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I have to use a licensed dealer to receive regulated items?

Products that require a licensed dealer transfer cannot be shipped directly to your home. These items must be shipped to an eligible licensed dealer, where the required transfer process is completed before possession.

How do I choose a licensed dealer?

You may choose an eligible licensed dealer in your area that is willing to receive and process your transfer. We recommend contacting the dealer before placing your order to confirm that they accept transfers and to ask about their fees and procedures.

How much are dealer transfer fees?

Transfer fees are determined by the receiving dealer and are separate from your Sporting Supply Group order. Contact your selected dealer directly for current pricing before placing your order.

How long does order processing and shipping take?

Processing and shipping times vary depending on the product, order details, and verification requirements. Any current processing-time notices displayed on our website should be considered when placing your order.

Can I cancel my order?

Cancellation eligibility depends on the status of your order. Once an order has entered processing or has shipped, cancellation may not be available. Please review our applicable store policies or contact Sporting Supply Group as soon as possible if you need assistance with an order.

What if my state or local laws restrict the item?

Customers are responsible for ensuring that an item can be lawfully purchased, transferred, and possessed in their jurisdiction. Restrictions can vary by state and locality. Your receiving dealer can also help you understand requirements that apply to the transfer.

What information does the dealer need to provide?

The information required depends on the order and transfer. Sporting Supply Group may need to verify applicable dealer licensing or other information before an order can be shipped to the receiving dealer.

Will I be notified when my order ships?

When tracking information is available, shipping updates are sent using the contact information associated with your order. You can use the tracking information to follow the shipment to the receiving dealer.

What happens when my item arrives at the dealer?

Wait for your receiving dealer to confirm that the item is ready for transfer before visiting. The dealer will complete the applicable paperwork, identification, eligibility, and other legal requirements before the item can be transferred to you.
