FFL / Dealer Transfers

Firearm Purchases Through Other Dealers (to be transferred through Naples Gun Shop)

If you purchased a firearm from another dealer or individual and need it transferred through Naples Gun Shop, please contact us using the contact form below or click HERE.

If you are an FFL dealer requesting a copy of our license, please click HERE.

Shipping Requirements

The seller must provide a copy of their FFL before shipping any firearm to us for transfer.

• FFL Dealers: Must include a copy of their current FFL inside the shipment.
• Private Sellers / Non-FFL Holders: We will accept shipments from non-FFL individuals; however, they must include a front and back side copy of their current driver’s license showing their current residential address inside the package.  

Due to the frequent issues involving incomplete paperwork, missing information, and improper packaging from non-FFL shipments, a $10 additional processing fee will apply to all firearms received from private sellers/non-FFL holders. This same fee will be applied should your shipper not include the legally required information in the package.

Transfer Processing & Pickup

While phone calls are welcome, we strongly prefer communication by email whenever possible. To help expedite processing, please include your full name and phone number in all correspondence, even if you have previously purchased firearms or completed transfers with us.

Please note:

• Firearms are available for pickup only after you have been contacted by Naples Gun Shop.
• Delivery notifications from UPS, FedEx, or USPS do not mean the firearm is ready for pickup.
• Transfers are processed in the order received.
• Processing may take up to 1–2 business days, although most transfers are processed the same day they arrive.

You will be contacted by the phone number included in the package once your firearm is ready for transfer.

Transfer Hours

Firearm transfers are generally available for pickup:

Monday – Friday
9:00 AM – 6:00 PM
We stop processing backgrounds at 5:30 PM each day.

Storage Policy

Naples Gun Shop is not a long-term storage facility.

Transferred firearms will be held for three weeks from the date of receipt at no charge. After that period, a storage fee of $40 per firearm for each additional three-week period will apply.

Outbound Firearm Shipping

We can also ship your handgun, rifle, or shotgun to another licensed FFL dealer. All FFL licenses are verified prior to shipment.

IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING ONLINE GUN TRANSFERS NOT BOUGHT FROM US:

1. If you've purchased a firearm from someone other than Naples Gun Shop, there is a very high chance that retailer already has our license on file. If purchased via GunBroker, the seller can get our license directly from GunBroker. If your seller does not have our license, have them call our store.

2. The ONLY phone number we have is 239-300-0891. This is printed on our FFL copy. We welcome folks to call 239-300-0891 and confirm our information.

3. BOTH our mailing and physical address is 327 AIRPORT PULLING RD N., NAPLES, FL 34104. This is the ONLY address we accept/ship firearms from AND the ONLY address we use for sending/receiving US Mail, FedEx, USPS and UPS. This is the same address printed on our Federal Firearms License. Anyone may verify a valid FFL by visiting the ATF's EZ FFL Check system HERE.

4. We DO NOT USE A PAYPAL ACCOUNT, and do not accept Money Orders for sales. We are a legitimate business with a merchant credit card processor. All credit card transactions are immediately emailed a receipt containing our information.

5. There will be an up-charge assessed at time of pickup should we have had to chase down your seller to obtain documentation of WHAT (make, model, S/N) was shipped to us and to WHOM it is to be transferred. PLEASE instruct your seller to include this info as well as their FFL license. This is required by law.

6. To help prevent FFL fraud, we RECORD all IP address that visit our website. Any instance of FFL fraud detected will result in our forwarding all information to the ATF.
