Additional Terms & Conditions And Procedures For Remote Gun Sales
Due to legal reasons £10 has been removed from the total value of the goods in the cart, we have done this as we cannot take payment in full for firearms and shotguns until we receive a copy of your photo ID proving you are over 18 and or a valid Shotgun / Firearms certificate for section 1 and 2 firearms. Once we receive a copy of your photo ID we will take the £10 balance on the goods to complete the sale, this is usually done by card over the phone. Please note, ensure you have entered a valid phone number as this is the quickest way to contact you to save any unnecessary delays. If you are purchasing a shotgun or firearm online you will be required to send your licence to us via post, so we can fill in the relevant tables and complete the sale.
