Shipping Policy

This page covers how we ship, what shipping costs, and how firearms get to you. Please read it before you order.

Following the law

We only ship items to places where they are legal to own. You are responsible for knowing your state and local laws before you order.
We can cancel any order that we believe breaks the law. See our State Shipping Restrictions page.
If the item is not legal to own in your state, the order will be cancelled and refunded minus a 20% fee.
We ship to the lower 48 states only. We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii or outside the United States.

Orders ship from the supplier in 2 to 5 business days.
Items that can’t be drop shipped go to our store first and are then re-shipped to you or your dealer. Please allow 4 to 7 business days for a tracking number on those items, because they are reshipped from our store.
Some higher-dollar orders are held for a few days until the payment clears.
We ship with UPS, FedEx and USPS. You get a tracking number by email when your order ships. Some items need an adult signature.

Firearms ship only to a licensed gun dealer (an FFL). You choose the dealer at checkout. You can also choose pickup at our store.
Call your dealer before you order and make sure they will accept the transfer. Most dealers charge a transfer fee. You pay that fee to them.
Enter your own address as the shipping address. Pick the dealer in the dealer step at checkout. Do not type the dealer’s address in as your shipping address.
A firearm ships in the buyer’s name only. We do not ship a gun for someone else.
Bought a gun somewhere else? You can have it shipped to our store for transfer. Armory Club members get 50% off our transfer fee.
Your billing and shipping address must match. If they don’t, we may cancel the order.

Ammo ships by ground and needs an adult signature.
You must be 18 or older for rifle and shotgun ammo, and 21 or older for handgun ammo.
Some states require ammo to ship to a licensed dealer. If yours does, choose a dealer at checkout.

Choose store pickup at checkout. We will contact you when your order is ready at 490 Bachelor Rd, Atmore, AL 36502.
Transfers: if you bought a gun somewhere else, it can be delivered to our store for transfer. Armory Club members get 50% off our transfer fee.
Bring a photo ID. Picking up a firearm includes the federal background check at the counter.

Shipping is figured at checkout from what is in your cart and where it is going.
Standard shipping in the lower 48 states is a $9.95 flat rate. Orders over $299 ship free.
Some items, like heavy or oversized ones, may cost more to ship. You will see the cost before you pay.

Members pay the supplier’s normal shipping instead of our regular rates. Free shipping over $299 does not apply to member pricing.
You pay one rate per order, the highest supplier rate in your cart.
Store pickup pays that same rate, because the item still has to ship from the supplier to us.
Secondary shipping cost. Some brands must ship to our store first, and then we re-ship the order to your dealer or address. Those orders have a secondary shipping cost of $19.95 per order. It is added at checkout when you choose another dealer or a shipping address. It does not apply to orders picked up at our store, or to brands that ship straight to you or your dealer.
See the Armory Club page for how member pricing works.

Check your order when it arrives.
If a firearm is damaged or wrong, do not complete the transfer at your dealer. Call us first.
For anything else, email us within 24 hours of delivery with your order number and photos. Our Return & Refund Policy explains what happens next.
If tracking shows no movement for several days, contact us and we will work with the carrier.

Call (251) 368-4447 or email Contact@canoecreekarmory.com. You can also stop by the store at 490 Bachelor Rd, Atmore, AL 36502.
