Our goal is to ensure the item you ordered arrives promptly and works exactly the way it should. We built a return policy designed to let you shop with confidence and make things as easy as possible when things don't work out. To get started, reference the specific return policy for the item you are looking to return.
Please read our terms and conditions for the full details of our return and warranty policy.
When you receive the firearm or lower receiver at the FFL, please inspect it thoroughly before accepting the transfer. The policies outlined below are only for guns or lower receivers that are picked up from the FFL. Returns are only eligible when the product has been used properly and is returned in its original condition.
If a firearm or lower receiver is not picked up within 14 days of arrival, including failed background check, not legally allowed to own, refusal to pick up, or any other reason the transfer is not otherwise able to be completed, the transaction will be canceled. Guns.com will process a cancelation and return of the product, minus any fees, a $30 return shipping fee, original shipping charges, and a 15% restocking fee.
All new gun & new lower receiver sales are final. As a reminder, new guns are eligible for any applicable manufacturer's warranties. If you need help contacting the manufacturer, please let us know and we'll be happy to assist.

UNRESPONSIVE CUSTOMER POLICY
Buying a Silencer with Guns.com is easy, but the process requires your active participation and attention to detail to help ensure a timely and accurate submission to the ATF. We have partnered with Silencer Central and they will communicate with you throughout the process by email and SMS text message (to the email address and phone number you provided at the time of purchase) with requests for information, digital signature, or other action on your part. If they are unable to move your application forward because they have not received a response to their requests, your order may be subject to cancellation, at Silencer Central’s sole discretion. In this event, Guns.com will refund the full cost purchase, including the tax stamp, less a 25% processing fee or $200, whichever is greater. 100% of sales tax will be refunded.
