STORAGE:

APPEAL:

ABQ GUNS™ is committed to customer service and during your appeal process, however, ABQ GUNS™ cannot store firearms indefinitely as we have limited secure storage space for purchases and transfers.  All items not sent back to the seller will automatically begin to incur storage fees.

STORAGE:

ABQ GUNS™ will store the firearm(s) for up to three months and a charge of $5 per day for the first two weeks and $50 per month thereafter per item.   If the firearm is not recovered within a three-month period including the two-month grace period, the firearm will be considered abandoned and resold by ABQ GUNS™ to recover the storage costs.  Additional storage time of the firearms may be extended by paying the storage fees incurred.

If you receive a DENY, the transfer is wrong or you decide you don’t want the items you have purchased, it is your responsibility to make any arrangements to return your items to the retailer you purchased it from.  We will help you in any way we can however, if you fail to make these arrangements and the firearm or item is left without making explicit storage arrangements, storage costs will apply consisting of $50 per day per item and will be considered abandoned after (2) TWO months (60 days) and subject to forfeiture on your part.

If the original owner or dealer WILL NOT accept the return of the firearm or item, ABQ GUNS will remain the lawful owner of the abandoned items, free and clear and will not be held responsible for any costs associated with your purchase.

ABQ GUNS is NOT responsible for contacting the original seller or shipper of the firearms.
