I've never heard of this, but I'm selective on who I go to. I'd find another dealer if possible.
This should have been rolled up into their transfer fee. The storage fee is just extra fleecing. |

I would shop around more. The dealer I use is $40 for the transfer and no storage fee.

$150 is high for a NFA transfer.
What part of PA are you in? If you're in the Philadelphia area I can recommend a few good local SOT's I've used with much more reasonable prices for NFA transfers. You can PM me if you'd like. |

But this is what I thought as well.....don't rub it in my face that you're bending me over for $100, just say your fee is $150. However, if someone local wants to sell me their NFA item or I want to sell mine....$50 would be absolutely reasonable and I don't think it would require the dealer to store it. Or is that false and the process dictates that dealer has to hold the item to be transferred? Thanks |

Up until eforms this could be as long as 12 months, but now it's down to around 90 days. |

I'm in the Lehigh Valley area so 45min-1hr from Philly depending on where they are in Philly. If they are dramatically cheaper, might be worth the drive. |

So he charges $150 then to transfer. Does he still charge $100 to store a suppressor if you buy it directly from him?
Shop around. Fees in my area range from $40-100. I've bought directly from two of the $100 guys because I've gotten good prices for something that they had in-stock or ordered for me. However, I'll never buy online and transfer something through them. |

If you're buying from an individual in your state, you just need to purchase on a form 4 directly from the person you buy from. No reason for an extra set of transfers. The person you purchase from keeps the NFA item until the F4 is approved.

Good to know though. Thanks! The reason most dealers charge more for NFA transfers than regular transfers is basically two fold, the added hassle of managing the extra paperwork and the added risk of having to safely store property someone else has paid for for several months or more. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yea, they have to store it regardless while the paperwork clears. This dealer is just playing word games itemizing a "storage fee" as an excuse to try and hide a higher-than-most NFA transfer fee of $150. The reason most dealers charge more for NFA transfers than regular transfers is basically two fold, the added hassle of managing the extra paperwork and the added risk of having to safely store property someone else has paid for for several months or more. And the pain in the ass first stamp guys that call checking constantly. (Don’t be that guy.) ETA: you could order through SilencerShop, Capital armory, Silencer Central, etc. with no added fees. ETA2: transfers are $100 everywhere here… I thought that was terrible. Make more phone calls and keep searching or use SilencerShop. |

It gets stripped until it does. If it was something huge, I'd like charge 50 or even 100 more. If you bought it from me directly, no added fees. |

Never heard of a storage fee. Seems shady for something they have to hold until the paperwork clears anyway. My dealer is $50.

I avoid it by buying directly from a semi-local vendor (Hansohn Brothers). No fee other than the purchase price, tax, and the stamp. It's a 70 mile drive each way for the pickup, but it's not a bad drive and they are good folks.

I have never heard of this.
Aren't they "storing" it the whole time it is in inventory pre-purchase? You are doing them a favor by purchasing it and ensuring it comes out of storage. Sounds like fuckery. Or just asshole tax in the case of a custom order of a non-stocked item |

I bought through Silencer Shop so I could easily compare OTD prices for multiple dealers, with no nickel and dime BS after the fact.

Sounds like he's just charging $150 total for the service, but trying to call it something else to make it seem like his normal charge is only $50 Greedy asshole imo and not a business I would give my money to. Not because of the price, but the deceptive business practice. |

Sounds like a greedy ah This I work overseas and have cans sit at my dealer for months, even after the stamps come in, and he doesn’t charge me anything. He doesn’t even call me when a stamp comes in, he knows I’ll come by when I’m back in the country. |

I’ve heard of storage fees, but never like this.
As a SOT, I charged $100.00 if a customer didn’t submit their paperwork within 30 days without damn good reason. (“I got deployment orders and forgot while trying to get the wife and kids squared away.”) I also charged $100.00/mo for any firearm not picked up within two weeks of receipt, approval, or without disposition two weeks after a denial. (You’d be surprised how many people left guns in inventory for months after receipt or approval.) But in the middle of a legit transfer? Find another SOT. |
