Firearms Storage and Fees:
Inbound to Alaska and Travel Time
If your travel will be longer than three weeks after the arrival of your firearm(s) in Alaska, we suggest that you have your shipper delay shipment to a specified date. Storage fees begin on the 22nd day after receiving your package(s).
Outbound from Alaska
When you drop off your firearm(s) for outbound shipment from Alaska, we can delay sending out your package for up to 14 days at your request for no additional charge.
Storage fees begin on the 22nd day after dropping off your package(s).
If you are shipping USPS and not using one of our preferred dealers to receive your gun(s), finding a Federal Firearms Licensee and getting them to send us a copy of their FFL in a timely manner is your responsibility.
If you choose a non-preferred dealer, be sure they:
• do not treat your shipment as a transfer
• do not log your firearm in the A&D Book
• they clearly confirm by email that they will NOT treat your shipment as a transfer and will NOT enter it in the A&D Book (a simple statement of understanding the process is not good enough).
Estimated Shipping Times
USPS Priority takes 4 to 6 business days inbound or outbound. This is the fastest and most economical method to and from Tok, Alaska.
We do not accept FedEx, nor do we ship FedEx outbound.
UPS Next Day Air to Alaska can take 5 to 10 days. Outbound from Alaska: up to 10 days.
The important thing when sending us or dropping off a gun for shipment is communication.
Abandoned guns will be sold cheap in lieu of payment.
Storage Fees
If you break down or extend your trip a few days, let us know, and we will waive the storage fee. We like communication.
Firearms received or dropped off for shipment may be stored at no charge for 21 calendar days. The day they are accepted counts as day one. Beyond 21 days will accrue storage fees.
The minimum storage fee is $30.00 per gun and due on the 22nd day after receiving your gun(s), plus $1.00 for each consecutive calendar day after the 21st day.
UPON 30 DAYS PAST DUE (day 45) WITHOUT PAYMENT, FIREARM IS FORFEIT
· 1st 21 days no charge
· $30.00 for the 22nd day
· $1.00 for day 23 and each day after that until day 30.
· $3.00for day 31 and each day afterwards if no communication.
· Day 45 without payment or communication: firearms and accessories are forfeit.
Please, don’t drop off your gun and forget about it; you will lose it. Call or email us.
Finding an FFL holder to receive guns consigned to be shipped through the US Mail in a timely manner is the responsibility of the gun owner. Searching for an FFL holder can be arduous and very time-consuming. We strongly ask that you use one of our preferred dealers as they will treat your guns as your guns and not as a transfer unless you are selling or giving away your firearms.
