If you’ve read this page, you’ve already done more checking than most people do. Generally it is okay to complete the order without contacting me, however, you should always check the Front Page of this website before placing the order. If I will be unable to accept transfers for any period of time, I will place a notice at the top of that page a few days beforehand. If you don’t see a notice, I am available and receiving transfers!

Probably not, unfortunately. Typically, your package will not have your name on the outside. They are most commonly addressed to “Detroit Armament, LLC”. I do my best to not cut open packages until the customer is here, except when legally required, due to instances of customers and/or sellers blaming me for items missing from the package, or for the firearm arriving in worse-than-advertised condition. This means I don’t know which package belongs to which person because the buyer’s name is on the packing list inside, not on the outside.

Check the tracking number, if it has been marked as “Delivered” then it is most likely here. If it shows any other status, such as “out for delivery”, “in transit”, “running late”, or “delivery failed”, among others, means it is most likely not here.

That’s probably because the delivery was attempted when nobody was here. That’s okay, it happens. There is no need to reach out to me or the carrier. Delivery is normally re-tried three times before being returned to sender. Unfortunately, deliveries do not come during a pre-determined time frame each day. They could come at 9AM or they could come at 6PM, I have no control or knowledge of when it is coming until the truck pulls up outside. Unfortunately this means I can’t be here for every delivery, but if I miss it one day, I do my best to make sure I can receive it before it returns to sender.

If the package was shipped in accordance with carrier regulations, then probably not. Package carrier services generally do not allow a package to be scheduled or redirected if it was properly declared to contain a firearm.

• A valid, unexpired, government ID that shows both your photo and your place of residence. Passports are not acceptable as they do not show your place of residence. “Temporary” Driver’s Licenses printed on paper are not acceptable as they do not show your photo.
• Funds to cover your transfer fee
• Know what company you bought the firearm from. It may also be helpful to have the tracking number on-hand, in case there are multiple packages for multiple buyers from the same seller.
• Reading Glasses, if you use them. You can’t skip doing the paperwork just because you forgot them at home.
• If your firearm arrived in a box larger than a “Medium” Flat-Rate Box, plan to take the box home with you. There is no dumpster on-site.
• Handgun Purchasers Only: you must bring EITHER a valid, unexpired, Michigan CPL, or a valid, unexpired, Michigan License to Purchase a Handgun. Yes, this is a new change for 2024. Yes, it is required by law, it is not an arbitrary policy. Yes, it is pointless. Please remember this when you vote next time.
  

Appointments that must be re-scheduled due to a failure to bring all required items will result in an additional $10 fee.

If you will be more than 10 minutes late, please call ASAP. Every effort will be made to accommodate your new time frame. However, appointments are often scheduled back-to-back, so re-scheduling may be necessary. No-shows result in an additional $10 fee.

Please reach out within 30 days of firearm delivery to make arrangements for storage. Storage fees for firearms with CONFIRMED prior arrangements are $20/month.

Firearms without prior arrangements, that are not picked up within 30 days of delivery, or firearms that exceed the arranged storage period by 30 days, are considered abandoned and become the property of Detroit Armament, LLC.
