Truck Shipments
Truck
shipments are contracted primarily through Roadway. Certain

other heavy items are only deliverable by Truck, either because
they're too
heavy or because they are considered hazardous. Please call if
you have any
questions about your shipment or about Roadway.
Since truck charges
vary from order to order, you need to contact Brownells at
800-741-0015 and
have the shipping charge quoted to you. Truck shipments will

directly to the
driver.

Part 2:
Out-of-Stock
Items
Back Order Shipping
If part of your shipment is backordered, you won't be charged for
additional
shipping on the backordered item(s). Although, if the only item
you ordered was
backordered, you will be charged our One-Rate amount
for shipping at the
time the order is shipped ($9.95 unless overweight, or
hazardous). The
unexpected receipt of backorders makes COD payment
inconvenient for you;
therefore out-of-stock items will be cancelled or marked Notify if
you have
specified COD as your payment method.
If your order
has backordered
items you have two options:
- Have the item(s) sent immediately to you
after
Brownells has received it. You have paid shipping in the original
order.
- Receive notification from Brownells that
the product
is in, at which time, you decide if you still need the product. If
you choose
Notify Me, you will be issued a notification number with your
e-mail
confirmation. Then, next time you log in enter your notification
number to put
the item in your cart. We will reserve the item with your
notification number
for 15 days. Shipping will be billed on your new order.
Part 3: Additional
Fees
Additional
Fees and Regulations to Consider
- All COD orders have an additional $10.00
fee.
- A $20.00 hazardous fee per
hazardous item
delivered is charged by the shipping company. In addition, a
hazardous item
escalates the actual shipping costs from $9.95 to $10.00. So it
would look
like this if your order consisted only of one item, and that item
happened to
be hazardous:
$20.00
+$10.00
$30.00 |
(hazardous fee)
(hazardous
shipping)
total shipping fees |
On the other
hand, if you
place an order with one hazardous item and one regular item,
such as a new
scope, the price configuration includes regular shipping costs
as well.
The shipping costs of this order would be as follows:
$20.00
$9.95
+$10.00
$39.95 |
(hazardous fee)
(One-Rate
shipping for scope)
(hazardous shipping)
total
shipping fees |
Note: One-Rate Shipping for
a non-hazardous item can be substituted for Next Day or 2nd
Day at an
additional cost if you prefer that the non-hazardous item arrive
sooner.
- FFL required purchases (Federal
Firearms
License) have an additional $4.50 fee, because they are
delivered Adult
Signature Required.
Receivers, actions, and frame
sales require an
FFL and are only allowed with the strictest adherence to
federal
regulations. Such orders will be held at Brownells until we
verify your FFL
is on file.
FFL requirements are as follows:
- It must be a current, certified-copy with
an
original signature in ink!
- If it has been changed or altered in any
way it
will be considered invalid.
- FFL purchases will only be sent to the
address on
the FFL - no exceptions.
- We will keep your FFL on file until it
expires,
at which time you will need to send Brownells a renewed,
certified copy.
Part 4: Shipping
Restrictions
Shipping
Restrictions: One-Rate Shipping
A small handful of our products have been
considered hazardous
materials by the U.S. Government. This makes the delivery of
such items
challenging and little confusing at times; some shippers will ship
one thing,
while another won't, etc.
To help you understand, we
have addressed
some of the more common shipping restriction issues.
- USPS will not deliver Bluing Salts or Oxynate
#84™ - they must be sent FedEx Ground or UPS Ground.
- USPS restricts shipment of all
ORMD and
all hazardous materials. Examples include: Amer-Lene,
Bluing Salts, Cold
Blues (32 oz. or larger), Hydrochloric Acid, Paint Remover,
Parkerizing
(gallons), and a few more.
- ORMD and hazardous materials will only
travel UPS or
FedEx and require an additional $20.00 hazardous fee.
Note:
Hazardous materials and ORMD products can only be
sent ground (they can
never go 2nd Day or Next Day, because these services involve
air-delivery).
However, let's say you were ordering Bluing Salts and a scope.
Our shippers
will automatically split your order into two: One consisting of the
restricted
shipping item and another consisting of the regular item.
Unfortunately this
generates two sets of shipping charges. If the regular item is
urgent, you may
have it delivered 2nd Day or Next Day, while the Bluing Salts will
remain
ground. We realize this is confusing and expensive. Below are
illustrated
scenarios.
