FFL Fees- WOW!!

[jimmyj]

Hi:
What is the Fee your FFL charges to receive a weapon for you?
Thanks,
Jimmy

MY local shop does it for $25. Pay the $55 this time and find another FFL.

 

[Zilmo]

Mine cost me about $43 with tax.

I'd say the average is $20 to $25. More than that is too much. Check Gunbroker or Auction Arms and do an FFL search for your area. A list of FFL holders and their contact info and fees should be listed. Good luck.

Mine cost me $25 plus $10 for the call

I am in the middle of a transfer and my ffl says 25 dollars flat

 

[shovelwrench]

Mines 20$....

I'd find a new FFL

Mine charges $40 flat rate. Incoming OR outgoing.

$25 here, seems like he's getting rich on a few minutes work, if you call it work!

You can do a lot better and not have to go very far, I have sent you a private message.

Plenty of guys around here will do it for $10, if you are LE or have a CHL. Try doing a search on Bud's or any of the auction boards. FFL's willing to do transfers in your area will typically list their transfer fee.

My guys transfer for $25 as well.. which I feel is still too much. But hey, they gotta make a living.

What about shipping a handgun????

Seems like you guys are talking about a dealer receiving a gun for you and calling in a background check...doing the paperwork, etc.

What about the flip-side of the coin?

What do you guys pay your FFL to ship a gun for you...in otherwords...he receives the other dealers FFL, packs and ships the gun, and does the paperwork in his books.

I'd think that should cost more than receiving. He has to spend time packing, addressing the box, etc....plus the shipping cost. Some dealers will only do overnight UPS and that's not cheap.

You could find better but I think next time I'd either get the name of the person on the phone or go into the shop in person and find out. My local FFL charges $50 unless I give him the secret code and he cuts it in half.

About 90% of the FFL's where I live won't do out-of-state transfers at all !!! Welcome to California.

 

[Mickey D]

Normal transfer fees out here are $45, $25 for a second gun in the same transaction.
Out of state is $125!

 

[mtgianni]

Local shop is $10. MT law prohibits charging for the phone call.

 

[bmhiii]

Mine is $20 incoming and $45 outgoing which includes shipping. Works for me...

Outside of California (which has its own complicated reasons for fee structure), the going rate is probably 20 to 35 dollars. However, 50 dollars is not entirely out of line or unheard of. A lot depends on the nature of a business. A part time hobbyist might charge less since they're not feeding their family or having to keep the lights on. A store might charge more since they have overhead.

Gander Mountain charges - last I checked - 35 bucks.

Mine is $20.00 incoming.I paid $10.00 for the one I just sent out,plus shipping charge.I had the package ready to go,all he had to do was tape it up.
