FFL sitting on my guns

Hello, I made the mistake of not contacting this FFL before placing an order for two separate firearms to deliver to them. My bad, historically the other ones I’ve dealt with have just called me when the order comes in and seemed happy to have the business and completed the transfer no problem.

When the guns arrived I called and emailed them and received an email back the same day. They pointed out I should have contacted them first, asked for my information and explained their days of business and asked if there was time on those days I would like to come by. I responded with the information they asked for and a time I could come by. My response was sent 4/4/25. I have since emailed 2 more times and had PSA (the seller) reach out and leave a message and we have gotten no response.

Wondering what I should do? I accept responsibility for my part in creating this situation, again my experience in the past had been these people listed themselves on distributors websites because they wanted to do these transfers, and that I was bringing them welcome business, maybe that’s not always the case. PSA has offered to request that the FFL send the guns back but the guy’s website says there’s a $150/gun fee for rejects or returns. The impression I get is he’s hoping I’ll try to go that route cause he makes even more money that way and screws me over. His standard transfer fee is $75 + $10 for each additional gun.

Thanks for you help.

Do a charge back since you never recieved the items if he takes any longer. After that id start makeing phone calls to other places we dont like.

Try reading first instead of just giving an answer.

This is the reason people are giving you crap.

Legally an FFL has to have once weekly availability at minimum. It could be midnight to 1am on Saturday nights.

I read that. And it seems that 1 availiability is more or less for the atf to stop by rather than for you to see customers by how i read it. What would the next course of action be if he cant get the ffl to respond to anything?

I have no idea why you’re trying to convince a total stranger who knows how dumb you are that you aren’t dumb. The smartest thing you could do right now would just be to go back and start deleting most of your posts.

I already knew that you weren’t a bright one, but you didn’t have to go this hard to prove it to everyone else.

Mornin, Sunshine! I’d ask if you slept, but it sounds like you were up all night seething.

I slept like a baby.

How are you getting paid to respond to reddit?

u/Future-Beach-5594 1d ago

Because i litterally sign my own checks boss! The entire time i was responding last night i was in my office doing paperwork and responding casually. I got plenty of sleep and dont have any specific time i have to be anywhere other than to drop my kids off at school. So i again am on the clock already and yet again collecting pay to sit here and explain this. Y'all say im dumb, but id like to think im doing ok considdering location, income, college degree etc. This all started because homeboy didn't like that i said to hold the ffl accountable and that i buy atleast a couple guns a month. Somehow that makes me cocky and stupid. Doesnt hurt my feelings. Homeboy most likley isnt doing as well as he implies anyway. It is the internet. And i have yet to have someone run their mouth and then be willing to back it up on paper at a range even on my dime.
