Just trying to get some feedback. How do you provide your transfer service for your customers. Example. Customer is buying something off gunbroker Do you: A-give your FFL copy to customer to process thru to seller B- have your customer give you seller info and you deal direct with seller. Not the payment of course. It's really up to you. If you start handing out a copy of your FFL to customers, don't be surprised to have guns just randomly showing up. |

If the seller is an FFL I send out a copy of my license. If the seller is a non-licensee he gets my first 3, last 5, and a link to EzCheck.

I do give out a copy of my FFL to only guys I've done business with atleast 5 times and of those 5 all of them had to have gone smooth or I don't give it out.
Any random first timer I just usually deal with the FFL directly. But of course I gotta hear the buyer whining about it. I can understand considering firearms are pricey and people have been burned both ways by sending FFL/seller and receiving FFL What's everyone charging ? I was doing $15 for first item and $10 after for same transaction. Yes I know that's cheap. But I said I "was" only to get my name out there. Now I'm at $25 first one and $15 each after. Same transaction. I can say service is key. Lotta buyers don't get good service I suppose but then again there's always reasons why the FFL is the way he/she is. |

We have a fillable form in the "contact us" section of our website as well as a copy of our FFL.
80% of the time the customer fills out the form and/or the customer contact info is sent with the gun, and we're open 7 days a week and have a full time receiving clerk which makes receiving transfers easy. We don't make a fuss if they don't arrange it with us first because of that, business is business and we'll take it where we can get it. |

I just get a order number and email address and send a watermarked copy along with a reference to the order#. I just always hope that if I do a hassle free transfer for somebody that the next time they want a gun they will check here first.
Most of the time it is no hassle. I just had to take care of one for a guy transferring from deguns and it has been a total headache. They want it submitted on the web page which I had to set up an account then submit. There is something wrong with the page and after 10 attempts I contacted them and sent it to 2 email addresses. Then today I was contacted and the order will not ship until they get a copy or the FFL. I was out eating lunch but happened to have my laptop in my truck so I was able to go outside and send another copy then I called them to make sure they received it. I hope it is over because I have close to a hour invested in it and will only make $10 on the transfer. |

I charge $45 and I don't deal with gunbroker or normal (ie buds or such) on line purchases....... normally.
I will only deal with gunbroker after I have a face to face with the buyer that what they buy is between them and the seller, I will most of the time find out that the buyer is a collector and knows that or is buying a cutom gun from a manufacturer that I wouldn't want to lay the cash out for to make a percentage so I just make my $45. Now you might say I am losing all kinds of sales but most times if the buyer is looking for a current gun I can get close enough after I explain the transfer fee; as for the high dollar custom job I don't have to deal with "when is it coming in? where is it? can I get a refund?" so I get my $45 and they are happy and come back to pick up common current guns or recommend their friends. Oh.... I send my FFL attached to the buyers invoice back to the seller so they can't come back saying they didn't know it was for invoice 123 |

I suppose that it's easier than breaking up rocks with a sledgehammer, but many transfers are much more involved than ten minutes of work.... Quote HistoryQuoted:

Are there any down sides to doing it like this for a new dealer like me other than getting gun sent to me that I might not know right off the bat who there for? Can you or anyone else tell me is there any safety or security issues as far as having your FFL publicly posted on your website for anyone to use? Thank you again gentleman for all your help! S&E business I want to not only be able to have as many new customers as possible but I also do want to make it as easy for people to do business with me! |

Your FFL information and number is NOT private and can be easily found by anyone with mediocre Google search skills. Some dealers think that their information is some kind of secret and only available to the privileged few.
