However, if you do find a lower price please contact a representative to see if we can match it. While comparing prices please be sure you include the shipping costs and any taxes. You will often find a lower advertised price which is then marked up with an extreme shipping cost.

What is your Return Policy?

First and foremost we take great pride in ourselves and our products therefore customer satisfaction is our number one concern. We urge customers to double check their orders before check out but when necessary we do have a 30 day return policy on all pre-manufactured items. The process is quite simple. Please notify a Gunsafe.com customer service representative of your return to receive a return authorization number and the correct location to send your item. It is essential that each item is in its original condition and packaging. Customers are responsible for the return freight charges and a 15% restocking fee. Once the return item has been received and inspected you will receive a credit for the total of your purchase minus the freight and restocking fees.

Please Note: Unfortunately we can not receive returns on custom build items. If the item you are purchasing requires manufacturing specific to your order details the item is not eligible for our 30 day return policy or cancelation.

Shipping FAQ's

What do I do if my shipment was damaged?

We require that all safes over 150 lbs. be inspected at the time of delivery before being signed for, the driver cannot leave the site until the safe has been signed for. In the rare occurrence that your order has been damaged during shipment, please note the specific damages on the delivery slip that you sign, then contact a representative to discuss your options. If your item is partially or has minor damaged and you would like to keep it, we will get a replacement part if available or touch up paint to you immediately, and talk to the shipping company about compensation (as long as the damage was noted when you signed for it).

*If your item is beyond the point where touch up paint or compensation is not acceptable, please refuse the delivery and contact a representative. The item will be shipped back and we will ship you a new item as quickly as possible.

Do you ship outside the continental United States?

Unfortunately, due to a number of complications including shipping cost and manufacturer warranty we do not currently ship outside the 48 contiguous United States.

How long will it take for me to receive my items?

Due to the nature of our product offering, and vast selection of brands, it is too difficult to pinpoint an exact shipping date, but we do provide some guidelines to help you estimate the delivery. Many of our items are custom built per customer specifications. These made to order items, will obviously take longer to arrive then items which are pre-manufactured and ready to ship. On each product page, we list the items availability next to the product images, under the name and item number. This will show whether or not the item is available and how long the item takes to ship out. Keep in mind that you’ll still need to allow for time in transit which will vary from location to location. Also, because of our wide selection, sometimes your items will be shipping separately from different locations. Please keep an eye on your email so that you can view the tracking emails when the different items are shipped out.

How will I know when my order ships?

In most cases, once an item ships, a tracking number will be emailed to the address you provided in the order. Many times the tracking website will list an estimated date of arrival. This is just an estimate and will be confirmed after speaking with the delivery company. There are some items that ship with a carrier that does not provide tracking. If that’s the case, please call us and we can help you track the order.

How will I know when my order is to be delivered?

On items over 150 lbs., the date on the tracking website is typically the date the safe is delivered to your local terminal. Once it arrives there, dispatch will call you to schedule a delivery date. This usually consists of a 4 to 10 hour delivery window, Monday - Friday. An appointment is set in order for you to be there to inspect and sign for the item. For items weighing under 150 lbs., the item will most likely be delivered without notification from the carrier. These items do not require a signature at the time of delivery. The tracking number would be the best way to estimate a delivery date or a call can be made to the carrier to confirm the delivery.

NOTICE REGARDING DELIVERY OF YOUR PRODUCT - PLEASE READ!

Your product will be delivered by a third-party logistics carrier. When the carrier calls, please be sure to make delivery arrangements that fit your schedule. You (or a designated person) are required to be present at the agreed upon delivery date. Gunsafes.com can provide contact information for the carrier if you wish to call to set an appointment.

As with all products delivered by freight carriers, there is typically a 4 to 10 hour delivery window. If a delivery is not made within 3 business days from arrival at the delivery terminal, the carrier may charge you storage fees, which you will need to pay before delivery is made. Once your appointment has been set, and the shipment is out for delivery, should you need to change, or if you are not present at the time of delivery, a re-delivery charge will apply. You will need to pay these fees before a re-delivery attempt is made. At the time of delivery, the truck driver will ask you to sign a delivery receipt. It's very important that if there is any signs of damage, you must note this at the time of delivery. If the carton is damaged, please sign "subject to inspection" on the delivery receipt to protect you should the product be damaged.

BEFORE SIGNING this receipt you must: Visually inspect all packaging and contents and notate on the delivery receipt any scuffs, scrapes or tears on packaging. Why? Failure to notate on the delivery receipt even the most minor of scuffs, scrapes or tears will relieve the freight company of responsibility for any damage to your product (even hidden damage) and a damaged goods freight claim is impossible to submit on your behalf. In most cases if there is a minor scratch we can get you touch up paint, but if the shipment is damaged beyond repair, refuse the shipment and contact us right away at 855-248-6723.

What is a curbside delivery with lift-gate? 

For items weighing over 150 lbs. we include a free curbside delivery, this will get the truck to your home or business, they will unload the safe with a lift gate to the ground level. The carrier will call in advance to schedule delivery. Depending on the weight of the safe you may want to arrange for additional help to bring the safe inside.

*** Very Important *** If you live on a rural route, on an island or area not serviced by freight carriers you'll need to upgrade to one of our white glove services such as gold or platinum if you have stairs. Please contact us at 855-248-6723 and we can review your address to see if it's in an area that can be serviced by a big rig 18 wheel tractor trailer with a 30 to 40' trailer.

Can I upgrade my standard delivery?

Of course! We understand many of our products are pretty heavy; this is why we offer the option to upgrade to a white-glove in-home delivery service for items weighing over 150 lbs.. These services ensure you have the option for in-home placement and guarantee your new item carefully and securely gets where you need it. Prices for in-home delivery services can be calculated on the product page by clicking on the "Upgrade Delivery Options" and entering your zip code.

What White Glove Services do you offer?

We offer several different levels of White Glove In-Home Delivery Services to ensure your needs are taken care of. Keep in mind white glove deliveries can take up to 5 to 30 business days after the safe has been delivered to the final mile provider to schedule and deliver the safe to you.

Platinum: Inside placement, up to 2 flights of stairs, pallet and debris removal (700 lbs. weight limit).

Please be sure to take careful measurements and keep in mind for delivery there will need to be room for a man on each side of the safe, especially in hallways and staircases. In the case that the safe cannot fit into the desired area due to size or safety limitations, please have a suitable secondary location picked out for the safes placement. Please check to see if your tile, wood, or other flooring is capable of handling the weight of the safe, If the flooring is not suitable for the weight of the safe, the safe may need to be placed in a different location. It is always ideal to have a secondary location in mind.
