Before You Buy
Purchasing a firearm online is a simple process if you follow these steps & to ensure that your transaction is processed smoothly. Please review these requirements carefully before purchasing online.
- Create an account with us by selecting the LOGIN button.
- Pick Your item & Add to Cart. If buying a firearm, please review all the purchase info prior to finalizing the order.
- Order & Payment. You pay us directly for the firearm, ammo and accessories by placing the order via the Web Sites Shopping Cart System.
- Non-Firearm Shipments. If your item is not a firearm, we will ship it directly to your house or preferred delivery address if the item is legal in your area.
FIREARM SHIPMENTS
We cannot ship a gun direct to you, but we can ship to the local FFL dealer of your choice. Any legitimate gun store or gun dealer has an FFL Gun Dealers license and can assist with the transfer. In strict accordance with State & Federal laws all firearms must ship to an FFL dealer for background check. Please make sure you have discussed the legality with your dealer before placing the order.
When buying a firearm please fully review the other info listed in the payment & FFL sections before placing your order. Firearm orders are sent Signature Required to verify delivery which means someone will need to be at the dealership to sign the package. Any items that are returned because of lack of signature will be charged a restocking fee. We do not contact or arrange transfers with dealers, this is solely the customer’s responsibility.
Please do not ask us to do this for you. It is the customer’s responsibility to verify that the item is legal in your state & that the dealer will handle your transfer BEFORE placing the order. You must be 18-21 years of age or older to purchase Firearms, Ammo or Receivers from our web site. Since age requirements can vary, please make sure you comply with age restrictions in your state before ordering.
If you purchase a firearm and other items on the same order the entire order will ship to the FFL dealer, there are no split shipments.
Orders must be placed using our on-line shopping cart system so they can be recorded and tracked automatically.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
- We accept: Visa, MasterCard, American Express & Discover Debit or Credit Cards. WE DO NOT ACCEPT VENMO, CASHAPP or any other form of payment type, including PRE-PAID gift cards.
- Certified Check or Money Orders (NOPersonal Checks, company checks, COD's, Fax checks or wire transfers accepted). For Certified Funds payment must be received within 7 days of order placement or the order will be canceled.
We want your transaction to be secure & require (AVS) Address Verification to protect our customers against fraud. Your Billing address must match your card, or the charge will be declined. If declined, there is a possibility that your card company may place a hold on the funds. These holds will automatically drop off the card in 2 to 4 Business days (this will vary from bank to bank). This hold is not controlled by Southern Tactical, and this is all done by your credit card processor as part of their AVS process.
Your card will be charged at the time you place your order on our site.
If buying a firearm, the person's name on the account and paying for the order on our site must be the person's name we ship to the dealer in and fills out the transfer paperwork.
By placing an order for a firearm and choosing a credit card payment option, you acknowledge that the order will ship to your chosen FFL transfer dealer. The FFL will not be the same as your credit card billing address and you waive the right & ability to post a credit card charge back due to any issues or complications with your transfer.
If you choose a payment option, we cannot switch it so please choose the correct form of payment for the transaction.
All orders will be sent with an Order Receipt listing the item, price & serial number of a firearm. We do not offer change to orders once placed. There are no additions, alterations, modifications or other to orders once confirmed on the web site.
CHECKOUT STEPS

- If your dealer's FFL license is not on file, we will need to receive a copy of their FFL accompanied by your name & order number within 7 to 10 days of order placement. If we do not receive the proper paperwork in this time frame, we will be forced to cancel the order and charge a 25% restocking fee even if the order has not shipped out.
