Firearms Sales & Shipping Policies

Firearms Sales & Shipping Policies

All firearms will only be shipped to an FFL on your behalf. You may be asked to provide Southern Defense with the FFL information of your choice.

Firearms will incur an additional long gun or handgun shipping surcharge.
 
Handguns will ONLY  be shipped via UPS Second-Day Air.

Prior to placing your order, please verify the following with your FFL of choice:
  1. The FFL will accept the transfer for all of the items on your order.
  2. The FFL is currently in business.
  3. Confirm the FFL’s business address for your order.
  4. Any additional transfer fees charged by the FFL for the transfer.
If you change the FFL information you originally provided to Southern Defense after your order has shipped, you will be charged for any additional shipping expenses that coincide with such change.

You may pick up your firearm at the FFL of your choice only if you pass a National Instant Criminal Background Check conducted at the FFL at the time of pickup.

After the transfer, all sales are final, and firearms cannot be returned to Southern Defense.

Southern Defense is not responsible for any items refused by your FFL. If your FFL of your choice is not available at the time of delivery and the package is returned to Southern Defense, additional shipping charges will apply to orders that must be reshipped.

By ordering a firearm, you certify you are the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm, are of legal age and satisfy all federal, state and local legal/regulatory requirements to purchase this firearm. Please see our additional state-by-state shipping policy pages for additional regulations that may apply to your state.
