GunBroker.com Eases the Headaches of Sending FFL Items with New Shipping Solution

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- GunBroker.com, the world’s leading marketplace for firearms, ammunition and accessories, has launched a new shipping solution to help address some of the issues that can arise when shipping FFL restricted goods.

One of the biggest headaches for sellers can be navigating the shipping regulations and policies around shipping firearms. Now, with the creation of a dedicated shipping solution, all sellers can ship to federal firearms license holders through a streamlined system.

“This new shipping solution, along with the recent addition of Credova financing, is just the latest result from our never-ending process of improving GunBroker.com,” said Jared Smith, CEO of GunBroker.com. “Our daily challenge is to find ways to make the marketplace and even stronger partner for sellers and dealers across the nation, and this is a fantastic answer to one of the bigger headaches.”

Sellers of firearms can enter the FFL number of the destination shop and labels will be automatically created. This ensures that all address and shipping information is accurate and verified.

The label is also automatically “sanitized” of any information that identifies the package as containing a firearm. For example, if the recipient is “John’s Gun Warehouse” the label will display it as “JG Warehouse” or “JGW.” In addition to meeting shipper requirements, this also prevents any information from advertising the contents of the package.

Shippers are also guided through the shipping options, based on what type of firearm is being shipped. This ensures compliance with all shipping regulations and reduces headaches for the seller. For example, handguns are required to be sent by air, so those are the only options presented.

Not only does this make the process easier and safer, it allows sellers to handle all their listing, sale, payment and shipping processes within their GunBroker space. It also keeps shipping charges within their GunBroker account for easier bookkeeping by sellers.

The FFL shipping is live now for GunBroker sellers. Simply select it on your shipping information page and follow the prompts through shipment creation all the way up to label printing.
