AFAB Firearms Store Policies
RETURNS/CANCELLATIONS
If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact us for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) request within 10 business days of the receipt of the product. If the item is returned unopened in the original box, we will exchange it, offer you store credit, or offer you a refund, less 25% restocking fee, based on your original method of payment. The product must be returned within 10 business days of the issuance of the RMA. All products must be packed in the original packaging, including any accessories, manuals, documentation and registration that shipped with the product. A 15% open box fee in addition to the 25% restocking fee (totaling 40%) will be assessed on any sealed product that is opened or removed from its original packaging.
Please note that we do not permit the return of the following products:
1. Special orders and products that are custom configured to your specifications.
2. Products sold "as is" or "used" or that have been installed or used after receipt.
3. Firearms, once transferred to buyer.
4. Illumination devices, electronic sights, optics and night vision equipment.
NOTE: We recommend that you use a carrier that offers shipment tracking for all returns, and either insure your package for safe return or declare the full value of the shipment so that you are protected if the shipment is lost or damaged in transit. If you chose not to use a carrier that offers tracking and insure or declare the full value of the product, you will be responsible for any loss or damage to the product during shipping.
The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers limited tracking capabilities and that there is a 30-calendar-day waiting period before USPS will initiate a trace. The customer is responsible for shipping charges both ways on returns, as well as for shipping charges on shipments that are refused.
If a layaway or invoice is canceled for any reason other than a decision made by AFAB Firearms (including, but not limited to: customer cancellation, Department of Justice (DOJ) denial, cancellation, or rejection), a 25% restocking/cancellation fee may be applied prior to any refund being issued.
Please note:
DROS fees are submitted to the State of California at the time of the background check and are non-refundable under any circumstances.
By proceeding with a purchase or initiating a layaway, the customer acknowledges and agrees to these terms.
TRANSFERS
Standard Transfers:
Firearms - $75.00 Firearm Transfer fee plus DROS $37.19 (Background Check fee) and Tax if the firearm was sold by a business and tax was not collected.
Ammunition - $20.00 per 1000 rounds Ammunition Transfer fee plus $1 Standard ammunition eligibility Check (if applicable)
Storage Fee $25 per item per month after 30 days unless written approval is given.
Blind Transfers:
Transfers must be pre-approved and we must have customer info. We like to have an opportunity to verify compliance before a firearm is shipped to us. We charge a non-negotiable $100 blind transfer fee if an item is shipped to us with no customer information AND without prior authorization and it is in our store for 7 days without contact. If a firearm is shipped to us without prior knowledge on our part, and we have no information on the customer, we may charge this fee after 7 days. Please call ahead or stop by and let us know your transfer coming our way.
Non- Compliant Firearms
If a firearm is received that is non-compliant, the firearm will be immediately returned to the shipper and the customer will be charged $35 plus shipping. Please verify compliance with us BEFORE shipping a gun to us. IF the firearm cannot be denied/returned it could be turned over to law enforcement and ShootSoCal LLC does not accept financial responsibility for the item as it should not have been sent in the first place.

ONLINE PRICE & DESCRIPTION ERRORS
Our online inventory changes every day. Occasionally an item may appear on the site by mistake or the item's description may contain a typographical error.

We reserve the right to refuse any order including but not limited to orders for items with errors in the description or price. In the event that we cancel an order we will not charge the customer's credit card or we will refund the money.
If an item's description contains an error such as incorrect photo, price, accessory or description and a customer makes the order, we will not process the order without first contacting the customer. If the order is mistakenly shipped, we may advise the customer to return the item in an unopened condition and we will refund the customer.
