Truck Shipments
Truck shipments are contracted primarily through Roadway. Certain bluing kits and 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 come to you Delivery Charges Collect, meaning you pay the shipping charges directly to the driver.

Truck shipments cannot go C.O.D.

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 ($10.50 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:

1. Have the item(s) sent immediately to you after Brownells has received it. You have paid shipping in 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. 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 $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 $15.00-$30.00 (depending on the item) if it is oversized. So it would look like this if your order consisted only of one hazardous item that is oversized:
  
  

  $20.00 +$15.00 $35.00

  (hazardous fee) (oversized item 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 +$15.00 $45.50

  (hazardous fee) (One-Rate shipping for scope) (oversized item 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:
  1. It must be a current, certified-copy with an original signature in ink!
  2. If it has been changed or altered in any way it will be considered invalid.
  3. FFL purchases will only be sent to the address on the FFL - no exceptions.
  4. 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.
