PURCHASING FIREARMS ONLINE
It is illegal to ship firearms to anyone not holding an active Federal Firearms License (FFL). For that reason, firearms purchased online may be picked up at RFT (Reliant Firearms and Transfers, LLC) or shipped to an FFL (gun store) near you. We will contact and verify the FFL you select during checkout before we ship your firearm(s). The buyer is strongly encouraged to contact the receiving FFL licensee before purchase.
Orders purchased online (e.g., from another FFL, Gunbroker auctions, etc.) and sent to RFT for transfer can ONLY be picked up by/transferred to the person who bought the firearm or won the auction. RFT will only transfer firearms to the person listed on the sales invoice. RFT does not accept firearms for transfer from non-FFL holders without written approval prior to shipment. If you want to purchase a firearm as a gift, the best way to do that is to buy a gift card or certificate from the seller, gift it to the intended recipient and let him/her purchase the firearm. You can also purchase the firearm, have it transferred to you and THEN you may gift it to someone else, following all applicable federal and state laws of course. Never take money from someone else to buy “them” a firearm! That is a “straw purchase” and you’ll end up in federal prison for that.

All items returned must be unused and in original packaging, and packaging can to be cut, altered or destroyed in any way. Do NOT write the RMA number directly on the item or package. If items are received in a condition other than how they were shipped, they will be returned to you.
If you received a defective item, you will need to call the manufacturer of the product directly to get a replacement. Most products carry a manufacturer warranty. RFT does not handle manufacturer warranties.
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.

Again, customers are responsible for shipping charges both ways on returns, as well as for shipping charges on shipments that are refused.
