There is a problem with one of my items, what is your return policy ? Our return policy allows for item(s) return and your choice of a full refund or replacement item(s). However, we do have a couple simple requirements for processing a return. 1. Firearms - It is solely the customers responsibility to thoroughly inspect the firearm(s) at the FFL prior to accepting the transfer. If there is a noticeable defect of any kind to the firearm, or associated case/contents, please simply refuse the transfer and we will arrange to have the firearm returned to us, at our expense, and issue the customer a full refund or replacement firearm if available. If the customer accepts the transfer from the FFL, we can then only refer the customer to the manufacturer for warranty consideration.
Geoffrey, Buds will charge a reship in most cases if there is not a noticeable defect on the firearm. I.E. a change of mind when purchasing. Their verbiage in their policy alludes to this as noticeable defect, return, exchange or refund. Since it depends on the Rep you ae working with, I would simply ask them to waive any restock fee.
