The best thing you can do is actually get in touch with your FFL, and he or she will guide you through the process. The shipping address needs to be the FFL your going to be picking your lower up from. Last thing you need is any lower or fully assembled weapon shipped to your doorstep! ^This The times I have done this the first thing I do is go to my FFL and give them all of the info on the place i'm ordering from. I then go online (or call) and place the order with the seller. The seller will only ship the item to the address that is on the FFL. |

Always use your address as billing and shipping when you are filling out an online order. Once the order is complete and you have your invoice/order# you call your FFL. Give them the invoice/order# and have them fax/email/snail mail their FFL to the store/person/shop that you ordered from. The rest is sitting back and waiting for a call from your FFL. You should also receive from the seller a tracking number for your item. This helps to keep the FFLs honest. They get a ton of stuff and your stuff is no more important than all the other merchandise they receive. Once you check your tracking number and it shows delivered, call your FFL. Then visit, fill out paperwork and pay the FFL.

Sounds good. Filled them both out with my address, got an order confirmation by email. Contacted my FFL who informed me that the company (Spikes) has all of their information. Emailed in response to my order form to please ship to my FFL (with attached address). I didn't miss anything here I believe.. so sit back, wait for tracking number to come in and when I see that it's been delivered then I'll head over to my FFL?
Another thing if anybody has any experience with Spikes.. I ordered an enhanced lower kit with their standard Spike's roll mark. Are these back ordered like I believe that the pirate and zombie lowers are? If they are or are not does anyone know the normal wait time / ship time for spikes? Trying to figure out whether or not I ought to be anxious or just forget about it for now. |

You can use your address in the shipping, it's your account (I assume you are creating an account and you may order stuff from them that does not require a FFL). They aren't going to ship it to an address that they don't have a FFL for. After placing the order, you would call your FFL with your name and order information and Spike's FAX number so that your FFL can FAX his license to them. Your FFL will receive the item along with a copy of Spike's FFL.

I was under the impression they are out of all lowers at the moment, so might be awhile.

There's only one time I would disagree with this......PSA's lower sale when their lowers are 50 bucks. For anything else, yep, buy locally....unless you want a lower that no one will carry locally (Mega, Noveske, etc.) |

Ended up ordering a complete enhanced lower from spike's without a stock on it. Are you talking stripped lowers or complete's for a cheaper deal locally?
Giving Hoffman's a call to see if they have complete's. |

At the same time, Hoffmans was selling Rguns lowers for $69. Jo-Jo's gets Stag blems for like $75 fairly often. |

Sounds like their ripoff sale. You'll like the Spike's lower. They make good stuff. If you want to borrow my dremel to grind the penii off of it, let me know. |
