TRANSFERS
Do you accept transfers from other Dealers?
Yes we do! Many online retailers will already have our license on file, if they do not please let us know your order number and who you are ordering from and we will send them a copy of our FFL or have them email us at Rainshadowarmory@gmail.com.
If you receive notification from the shipper or tracking service that your firearm has been delivered, please allow us a couple hours to process it into our books. We will notify you when it is ready for pickup, however you may email, call or text us about your status as well.
Make sure you have government issued photo ID such as a drivers license or passport. The address on your ID MUST match your current address. If not we will not be able to transfer it to you until your address matches or you provide supplemental ID with your current address.
We will make reasonable attempts to contact you when your transfer is ready for pickup. It is your responsibility to make sure your contact info is current and correct. Due to limited storage space, we cant hold on to your stuff forever so please make sure to pick it up quickly.
