Shipping cost and timing
Checkout shows the flat rates below for the 48 contiguous United States. These are the same amounts charged when you place an order — they are not estimates.
When an order leaves as more than one shipment, the flat rate for the method you choose is charged once for each shipment. Pickup at Alquist Arms stays a single charge.
Accessories and most parts (Standard Ground): $9.95.
Ammunition (Standard Ground — ground only): $12.95. Ammunition cannot ship by air or expedited methods.
Firearms FFL transfer shipping: $14.95. Firearms ship only to a licensed FFL you choose.
Expedited shipping (where offered for accessories or firearms): $29.95.
Pickup at Alquist Arms (1400 Freitas Park, Turlock, CA 95380): free ($0).
Alaska and Hawaii are not covered by these flat rates — shipping there requires a custom quote.
Handling: in-stock items usually leave within 1–2 business days after payment (and after FFL information is complete when required). Carrier transit time is extra.
How orders ship
Most warehouse orders are fulfilled by our distributor (Sports South) and ship by common carrier, usually FedEx. You get a tracking email when the label is created, and pickup customers get another email when the box is at Alquist Arms.
Accessories and most parts can ship to a residential address where the law allows. Firearms and serialized receivers ship only to your receiving FFL.
Ammunition cannot be shipped to a California or New York residence. Ammo ships separately from firearms. Confirm your address and product before you pay.
Timing
In-stock dropship items usually leave within 1–2 business days after payment (and after FFL paperwork is complete when required). Carrier transit is extra. Restricted items can take longer.
We do not control the carrier after pickup. Use the tracking link in your email for live updates.
Store pickup
If you chose pickup, Sports South ships to Alquist Arms, 1400 Freitas Park, Turlock, CA 95380 — not to your house.
Bring photo ID matching the order. Hours follow the Arms store: typically Tue–Fri 10am–6pm and Sat 10am–4pm. Call 209-667-5463 if you are unsure.
Pickup orders not claimed within 60 days of the ready-for-pickup email may be refunded minus a restocking fee.
Returns
Contact support@alquistwarehouse.com with your order number before you send anything back. We will give you a return authorization (RA). Packages without an RA on the outside may be refused.
Most new, unopened, unused items can be returned within 30 days of delivery, with the receipt and all included parts, for a refund of the item price. A 10% restocking / inconvenience fee applies to customer-requested refunds.
You pay return shipping unless we sent the wrong item or it arrived defective. Use a tracked, insured carrier. Refunds go back to the original payment method after we inspect the return (often 1–4 weeks including carrier and bank time).
Opened items or returns missing parts may be charged an additional 15% fee or refused.
What cannot be returned
Ammunition, firearms, special-order or custom items, used or installed products, and background-check or license fees cannot be returned except where the law requires or the item is defective as determined by us.
If a firearm must come back because of a state-law issue you should have checked before ordering, a 20% restocking fee plus shipping may apply.
Damaged or wrong item
Photograph the packaging and product and open a ticket at Customer Service the same day you receive it. We will tell you whether to keep, return, or exchange it.
