How Long Does an Online Firearm Order Take at ISFA-4 Defense Supply Company?

Online firearm orders generally ship from store inventory or a distributor warehouse within 3–10 business days after the required payment, inventory, fraud, legal, and FFL checks are completed.

That timeframe describes order fulfillment and shipping. It does not guarantee when a firearm will be ready for pickup.

What happens after an online order is placed?

Before an online firearm order can be completed, several steps may be required:

• Order review: The order and payment information are reviewed.

• Inventory confirmation: Availability must be confirmed with ISFA-4 Defense Supply Company or the supplying distributor.

• FFL verification: The receiving Federal Firearms License information must be confirmed when required.

• Compliance review: Any applicable legal, destination, and transaction requirements must be satisfied.

• Shipping and receiving: The firearm must arrive, be inspected, and be entered into the records of the receiving dealer.

What can affect the fulfillment time?

Several factors may affect how quickly an order moves through the process:

• Distributor or store inventory availability

• Payment or fraud-review requirements

• Missing or incomplete receiving-FFL information

• Carrier delays, weekends, or holidays

• Additional legal or transaction review

• The time required for the receiving dealer to process the shipment

When should I visit for pickup?

Do not visit ISFA-4 Defense Supply Company solely because a shipping carrier shows that the package was delivered.

The firearm must first be received, inspected, and entered into the required records. ISFA-4 Defense Supply Company will notify you when the firearm is ready for the transfer process.

What should I confirm before ordering?

Before submitting an online firearm order:

• Confirm that the firearm is lawful at its destination.

• Confirm that the receiving FFL will accept and transfer it.

• Enter the receiving dealer’s information accurately.

• Review the complete ISFA-4 Defense Supply Company Store Policies.

Serialized items are shipped to the eligible FFL selected during checkout—not directly to the buyer’s home.
