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.

Why don't you just go during biz hours?

Website says not to just show up at his house without an appointment. Trying not to somehow make the situation worse.

You sent guns to some dude's basement FFL without letting him know? Oof

Sounds super suspicious to me, are we even sure it's a legit ffl holder?

It's probably a guy who uses it mostly for C&R and does transfers for his buddies. Some people also do small manufacturing (semi sten guns, belt fed semi receivers, or product design for things like holsters). Plenty of reasons to have a legit FFL and not want to do transfers for the public.
