How can I check on a seller that I would like to buy a gun from?

You may also go to www.anywho.com and perform a reverse number look up to make sure they are who they say they are. While it is not our policy we would recommend all sales be confirmed via telephone if you have any questions as to the identity or the seller. Be suspicious of any seller that refuses to talk to you on the phone.
Be sure to clarify the seller's return policy. GunsInternational.com's return guideline is: Unless the buyer and seller agree to modify, as may be the case in a new gun, the return policy is three (3) calendar days from the day the item(s) are received by the buyer. The item may be returned for any reason, but the buyer must notify the seller within the three (3) calendar day inspection period. The buyer must start the return within the next four (4) calendar days to receive a complete refund, less all shipping charges. In other words shipping must start within one week of receipt of the item(s). The return shipping must be of equal shipping level, including insurance i.e. Priority, Express, Blue Label etc. The return item MUST be in the same condition as when shipped to the buyer. This is an inspection period only, a gun is not to be fired.
Prepayment for the gun is usually required. Be sure to follow the sellers instructions and if possible for your protection pay by credit card and if not pay by US Postal Order for your protection. Be sure to include all of your shipping information, as well as your phone number.
Also, it is within your rights to use an Escrow service, such as www.tradiator.com, to hold your funds until you accept the gun. This agreement, as well as, who bears the cost would have to be agreed to by the seller.
How do I legally get a gun shipped to me?
In almost all cases, with the exception of antiques, the transfer of a firearm requires the assistance of a local Federal Firearms Licensed Dealer (FFL). More than likely you would need to arrange for a local FFL to accept the gun for you and to complete the transfer. If you do not have a local FFL you may use our FFL search to find one in your area that would be willing to complete the transfer. Fees vary widely for this service so you may wish to check with a few.
