Shipping Policy

At The Sporting Shoppe, we believe in providing a seamless shopping experience, and that includes transparent and affordable shipping options. Our straightforward shipping policy ensures that you can enjoy your purchases without any hidden costs.

Order Processing

The Sporting Shoppe processes and ships orders in the order they are received.

Our standard processing time is up to seventy-two (72) business hours from the time an order is placed. Business hours are Monday through Friday and do not include weekends or holidays.

Please note that processing times are estimates and may vary based on seasonal demand, holidays, inventory volume, weather events, staffing levels, or other operational circumstances. Updated processing timelines will be communicated on our website when necessary.

Firearm Orders and FFL Transfers

All firearm shipments require transfer through a valid Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder.

For firearm purchases, the seventy-two (72) business hour processing period begins only after:

• The receiving FFL has provided all required documentation.
• The documentation has been reviewed and approved by The Sporting Shoppe.
• All order information has been verified.

Because The Sporting Shoppe must coordinate directly with the receiving FFL, delays in receiving documentation may increase overall processing and delivery timelines.

Orders are processed in the order all required documentation is received and approved.

Expedited Processing

Customers may purchase Expedited Processing for an additional $100.

Expedited Processing moves the order to the front of our processing queue and provides same-day shipment whenever possible.

For firearm orders, same-day shipment eligibility begins only after all required FFL documentation has been received and approved.

Expedited Processing fees accelerate processing time only and do not include upgraded carrier transit services.

Expedited Processing fees are non-refundable once processing has begun.
