Is the NICS check still a toll free call or did that change? The reason I am asking is I am seeing so much more of this type of listing. If that is still a free call I would rather spend the $20 in gas going to a different transfer location.
This came up when my son asked about getting a two guns shipped to his dealer and that local guy just wants $35 for transfer and $35 for the NICS fee. Not going to happen, will use a dealer from here and pay for gas first. So we looked for other dealers.
The new guy he spoke with had these fees. To be clear he was told his cost would be $80 just for transfer fees, 2 transfers, 2 NICS charges. Both guns would have shown up in the same box.
Long Gun Fee: $20.00
Hand Gun Fee: $20.00
NICS Fee: $20.00
One last thing, the item he was wanting is not sold in either place so it is not like they are losing a sale due to internet, they just lost a customer. He has money to spend and they lost out on the share they could have gotten.
