Good evening to you!! Usually if a background check is denied the FFL knows if it's an option to run again after 4 day wait or if you were denied because of some type of activity that makes you unable to possess a firearm. Hope this helps have a good rest of your day.

If a background check is denied for a Buds Gun Shop purchase, the firearm is returned to Buds, and the order is cancelled, typically incurring a 10% restocking fee plus original shipping costs. Customers must handle the denied status with their local Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL), as Buds does not directly run the check.
Key Aspects of the Policy:
Return Process: The FFL dealer will send the firearm back to Buds.
Fees & Refunds: Customers are responsible for return shipping costs and a 10% restocking fee on returned firearms.
Refund Initiation: Once Buds receives the returned item, a refund is processed for the purchase price, but not for the shipping or background check fees.
Exceptions: In some cases, if the denial is immediately resolved or deemed an error, the restocking fee might be waived or the item re-shipped, but this requires direct contact with customer service.
