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 ($10.50 unless overweight, or hazardous). The unexpected receipt of backorders can make 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:

1. Have the item(s) sent immediately to you after Brownells has received it. You will pay shipping only on the original order.
2. 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. Next time you login, enter your notification number to place the item(s) in your cart. We will reserve the item(s) with your notification number for 7 days. Shipping will be billed on your new order.

Additional Fees and Regulations to Consider

• All COD orders have an additional $11.00 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 $10.50 to an amount the shipping company will determine. Below is an example if your order consisted only of one item, and that item is considered hazardous shipping:
  
  

  $20.00 +$TBD $TBD

  (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 $10.50 +$TBD $TBD

  (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 the non-hazardous item(s) arrive faster.
  FFL (Federal Firearms License) required purchases  have an additional $4.50 fee, because they are delivered as 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 current FFL is on file.

 

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 select items challenging as some carriers will accept a particular item while other carriers will not.

Below we have addressed some of the more common shipping restriction issues.

Note: Hazardous materials and ORM-D products can only be sent ground (they cannot be shipped 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.

 

$20.00 $37.50 +$TBD $TBD

(hazardous fee) (Next Day shipping for scope) (Bluing Salts shipping) total

 

$20.00 $22.50 +$TBD $TBD

(hazardous fee) (2nd Day shipping for scope) (Bluing Salts shipping) total

 

$20.00 $10.50 +$TBD $TBD

(hazardous fee) (One-Rate shipping for scope) (hazardous shipping) total

Pay by COD (Cash on Delivery)
COD payment of web orders is also available. UPS, FedEx, and the USPS all offer COD service. COD charges are $11.00 per order. UPS and FedEx will only accept money orders or cashier’s checks for payment (NO CASH). However, the USPS DOES accept cash, along with money orders and cashier’s checks.

If you are interested in paying by personal or company check, you need to fill out and apply for a COD Check Approval Form. Processing takes up to 14 days though, so plan ahead if this is an option you’d like to use.

Cashier’s Check or Money Order
A cashier’s check from a bank or a money order from an authorized source is also acceptable. Please make them payable to Brownells.
