I am finalizing the last few things before I startup my FFL business.  How do most of you handle transactions?  For instance a customer wants a gun that is in stock at a distributor.  Do you order it through your account and pay for it on pickup, or do you wait until their funds arrive from the customer?  I do not intend to have a credit card processing system installed for a few more months.  I am lucky in the fact that a JSC is 5 miles from my house but know I will not deal only with them.

To order a gun for a customer, I usually require 25% down and I wait to order until the money order clears or the credit card $ hits my account.  The 25% usually provides enough cushion that if the customer bails and doesn't complete the purchase, I can sell the item and still be ahead.

Speical order for someone I do not know is 25% down and then order.
For a regular customer requires nothing down, I just order it and call my customer when it arrives. So far I have never been stuck with anything.

I only sell "what is on the truck."



Unless a good customer.

We have a very, very small number of customers - as in, I can count them on one hand and have fingers left over - for whom I would order the gun on just their word that they would pay for it.

Everyone else - 100% down before the order is placed.

50% down with "special order".
