Waiting on FFL?

[Skully]

It depends if this FFL considers online gun order transfers a favorable income. I have run in to a few FFLs who don't like to do transfers as they have told me "I could have gotten you a good price."

Not sure why the attitude, they don't have to do really anything, run your check, log you S# and charge you. It is easy income not sure why some FFLs take offense to it.......

You can leave your honest feedback on Buds Gun Shop. Notice how they have "preferred" level FFLs listed??

This shop is not on a preferred status maybe they will get less transfer to them and then if they care they can read the bad reviews and change their policies or if they don't care lost business on their part.

I've used buds several times at a couple of different ffl's here in town, it has gone from ups to my hands in less than an hour.(with the background check taking most of that time) you are getting jerked around. what is the shops name? maybe someone here can help.ETA:some shops don't like to do transfers because they are mad you didn't let them hose you, and they feel they are losing out imho.

This I do not understand. If you do not want to do transfers, say so. Say '$20 on used guns $60 on new.' Do not say 'sure, $30' then get an attitude.

Exactly! Not like you have to even do the transfer. Not sure how buds does it, if they add you automatically if you do one transfer with them or not. I do know on Gunbroker you have to "join" the FFL network.

It has nothing to do with Buds. Buds orders the gun from where-ever they are getting what you purchased, then repackages it when it gets to them, then sends it to the FFL. At Firing Line, we process all transfers at $30, within 24 hours, during the week. We ask that you wait until we call you to pick it up, as that means everything is done at our end. If it comes in Friday, you may have to wait until Monday after 5pm.

Ok, one thing i've learned is waiting for an ffl is almost worse than waiting on the damn shipping! This is pure BS, use R&S Man, Randolph/Santa Claus makes that shizzle happen damn near right away. The other thing about R&S, if you bring him some cookies, he'll let you sit on his lap and tell him what you want for xmas...

This is another reason why I don't buy new guns anymore!
