Questions, answered
Can you ship to my house?
No. California law requires ammunition to be picked up in person from a licensed vendor. That's exactly what we're for.
How long does an order take?
Most orders arrive in 3 to 7 business days. We'll text and email you the moment it's ready.
Why is the price "all-in"?
Every price already includes the DOJ check fee and California's 11% ammunition excise tax. Only sales tax is added at checkout.
What if my check is denied?
We can't release the ammunition. We refund your product cost under our refund policy; the state's DOJ fee is non-refundable.
How long do you hold my order?
Thirty days from your "ready for pickup" message. We'll remind you on day 7 and day 21.
How old do I have to be?
18 for rifle and shotgun ammunition, 21 for handgun ammunition.
