Declaration Defense TRANSFER POLICIES
Incoming Transfers
- For the efficient processing of incoming transfers, it is vital that the receiving customer’s name and contact number be included with the firearm(s). If information is missing it can cause a delay in the person receiving their transfer.
- Please note that receiving a delivery notification from UPS/USPS/Fed Ex DOES NOT mean that the item(s) is ready for pickup. All transferred firearm(s) will be available for pickup ONLY AFTER the customer has been contacted by one of the Declaration Defense Transfer Agents. We will notify the customer by either email, text, or a phone call to the number on file. If there is no answer, a voice mail will be left and a note will be placed on the customers file. Transfer agents will only make 1 attempt to contact the customer and it is up to the customer to follow up.
All incoming transfers will be processed in the order that they are received. Transfers are only processed Monday – Friday. Our transfer agents strive to process transfers within 48hrs of receipt (weekends & holidays NOT included), however this is not always possible during high volume periods.
- Customers have 30 calendar days to pick up transferred firearms, unless other arrangements have been made between the customer and the Warehouse Manager. Customers that have not picked up by the 30th day will be assessed a $10/per-day storage fee PER FIREARM until either the firearm has been picked up or the value of the firearm or the cost of labor has been reached. Once the storage fee exceeds the cost of labor and/or the value of the firearm, the firearm(s) will be considered abandoned and will become the property of Declaration Defense. See abandoned firearms policy below:
Transfers from Private Individuals
- Declaration Defense accepts incoming transfers from FFL dealers and Private individuals. For the efficient processing of incoming transfers, it is vital that the receiving customer’s name and contact number be included with the firearm(s). If information is missing it can cause a delay in the person receiving their transfer.
