FFL transfer charges

[Baldnblk]

I'm from Las Vegas and the going rate for shipping a firearm to a FFL HOLDER is $15-25. Why is it 50-70 bucks up here in Tillamook? This is crazy. You find a bargain weapon online and you lose it all with the cost of a transfer....

Wait until you try to bring one in to Washington state. FFL fee's and sales tax. Most FFL's in these parts are reasonable. It's the state that is out of hand (8.1% to 9.5%).

Duh, because they can, and I quite agree with you.

Have them transfered to a beaverton or portland shop 20 to 30 is the average and its not a far drive from tillamook

Wow, that is ridiculous! A reasonable fee should be sub $35. We charge $25 and $10 of that goes to the OSP for the BG check.

I have a couple currently being sent to Willamette Valley Arms in Hillsboro. <broken link removed>
They are charging $25 (includes $10 background) for the first & $15 for each additional. I suppose Tillamook FFL's are few & far between, therefore the ridiculous prices! Search up & down the coast a few miles for another option, or find one in the Portland area & plan to take a drive around the time your guns come in! Good luck!

That was the shocker to me when I moved up here from Oregon.

Actually it's a "use tax" since you're bringing it into WA. You can avoid it by moving to OR and paying 9% income tax instead.

+1 recommendation for WVA. Good people and good hours.

On Gunbroker there is a function that lets you find an FFL by location. They usually list fees. There are a lot of basement FFLs out there.

You can use the GB find FFL function near you and the FFL normally list there fees.

little town corporate collusion? When I lived in a little town in New Mexico there were 3 FFL's in town, a transfer was $100 from all three. They never got a penny out of me just on principle.

I'll throw out a good word for Home | GunsRightHere.comGunsRightHere.com, Jon is a great guy and does great business. Good communication, easy to use website, and charges $25. He gets all my FFL business now and a good deal of odds and ends too because his customer service is top notch.

Yes a lot of the ffl charges around here are high. I ordered 2 blem lowers from PSA for $50 each, so $100 worth of parts, sent them to brightwater ventures because my usual ffl was out of town, got charged $35 per lower + tax. Ended up being close to $90 to transer, almost cost more than the lowers.

For pistols you have to transfer within the state of residence but for long guns I try to use Oregon ffls when I can.

Shotgun News used to have a list of FFL holders available on their website, might be a local one on there you can use.

 

[etrain16]

Wow, sounds like an opportunity in the making. Have you considered getting your FFL and starting up your own home-based shop? Heck, if you did transfers for say, $40, you'd beat the other guys, probably get all their business and make some cash on the side. May be worth considering if you're up to the task.

Southwest Washington surplus charges 20 bucks for up to two items. I stopped using it because every time I call in the lady who answers makes it such a hassle. So, now I'm using northwest custom firearms. They charge 20 bucks and they are excellent with communications.

Call Mark at Double Barrel Guns in Cannon Beach. He is very reasonable !

He also runs Cannon beach surf shop, the gun shop is upstairs.. It's kinda hidden away

It varies.... Some places charge a highish initial fee and a minimal fee for additional items in the same transfer, while others charge a lower fee but will charge the full fee for each item included on the 4473. Some have regular business hours and some are by appointment only; either can be advantageous depending on your schedule I suppose. Best to shop around!

There's a pawn shop in Beaverton / Aloha, called A Cut Above that I used a few times that charges $15.00 for transfers. There at T.V. Hiway & 185
