Effective Date: [December 17, 2025]
VanTon Arms is committed to fair and transparent business practices. This Refund & Returns Policy outlines the conditions under which returns, refunds, and order cancellations may be accepted. Due to the nature of firearms and related products, certain restrictions apply.
Firearms
All firearm sales are final once the firearm has been transferred to the customer through a completed FFL transaction.
Firearms are not eligible for return or refund after transfer.
Firearms that fail a background check or cannot be transferred due to legal restrictions may be subject to restocking fees.
If a firearm is refused by the receiving FFL or deemed non-transferable, the firearm may be returned to the original seller at the customer’s expense.
Firearms damaged during shipping must be reported prior to transfer.
Ammunition
Ammunition sales are final and non-refundable. Due to safety and liability concerns, ammunition cannot be returned once shipped or picked up.

Non-firearm items such as accessories may be eligible for return under the following conditions:
Return requests must be made within 14 days of delivery
Items must be unused, in original packaging, and in resalable condition

All returns and exchanges are subject to a 20% restocking fee. This fee covers the cost of processing, inspection, and administrative overhead associated with returning items to our distribution network.

Any return shipping fees charged by the carrier.
The 20% restocking fee.
3. Order Cancellations
Orders are processed rapidly to ensure fast delivery. Once an order has been transmitted to our warehouse or dropship partner, it cannot be canceled. If you no longer want the item, you must receive the shipment and follow our standard return process, which includes the applicable restocking fee.
Transfer & Shipping Fees
Transfer fees, shipping costs, and background check fees are non-refundable once services have been rendered.
