Frequently Asked Questions

Is Shopping on the Internet safe?

Using your credit card to buy over the Internet can be just as safe as using it to pay for dinner and a movie, as long as your internet merchant takes the right steps to ensure your security. Your personal information and credit card data are encrypted using SSL technology (secure socket layering). This security feature turns on automatically when you begin entering your personal billing and shipping information to ensure that no one has access to it except you and us. At that point, most browsers will display a "lock" symbol at the top or bottom of the screen to verify that the security feature is working. It will also change the page name to "https://..." The "S" stands for SECURE.

How do I order a gun online?

1. Contact a local dealer and arrange for them to conduct the transfer (receive the firearm from us). Be sure that they are aware that a firearm will be sent to them on your behalf, and that they agree to this. Also, be sure that any and all fees associated with the transfer are agreed upon prior to the order being placed.
2. Have your local dealer fax a copy of their FFL (Federal Firearms License) to us at 920-569-4252. If you have trouble finding a dealer, call us at 1-800-518-3808 and we may be able to locate one for you.
3. Place the order for the weapon of your choosing. You can place the order online via our secure website 24 hours a day 7 days a week, or contact us during business hours at 1-800-518-3808 to place your order.
4. Once your order has been shipped you will receive an email notification that includes basic information about your order such as a tracking/confirmation number and the ship-to address. We do not send tracking information on firearms. This is done to prevent people who knowingly are not able to possess a firearm from ordering one and having it redirected to a different address. Your firearm is shipped with a copy of our FFL (Federal Firearms License) as well as your contact information so that your local dealer has no problem contacting you upon arrival.

Where do I send the FFL information?

FFL Transfer Dealer’s license in your area (Federal Firearms Licensed Transfer Dealer) can be mailed to:
TGSCom, Inc
ATTN: FFL
1449 S. Broadway Street

Or faxed to:
Fax 920-569-4252

Or emailed to:

Who sees my personal information? (Privacy Policy)

When you place an order with us your personal information is securely transmitted, directly to us. We use this information to process and fulfill your order. We do not rent, share, or sell your personal information to third parties. Please refer to our Privacy Notice here for more details on how we use and protect your personal information.

Do you stock your inventory?

Due to the amount of products we offer, we cannot stock everything in our warehouse. We receive shipments as needed from some of the largest suppliers in the country. This helps keep our price to the consumer as low as possible. If we can't get it, there is a good chance your local dealer can't either.
Some items are far more popular than others, and will be on 'Backorder' from time to time. Unfortunately, most manufacturers do not provide us with an ETA to pass on to our customers. We fill backorders on a first come, first served basis, and work with numerous suppliers to track down your product. We will split ship your order as items come into stock at no additional shipping charge.

What about product/price discrepancies?

While we make every effort to reflect current prices and inventory status, occasionally this information will differ from that which is listed on our websites. TGSCOM, Inc. reserves the right to change prices at any time, and to inform the customer of the price change before charging your credit card or proceeding with the order. If the price of an item on your order has changed, we will inform you via phone or e-mail (at our discretion) and request authorization for the new price to be charged. At this time, you will also have the option of canceling the item from your order, or switching to a different item.

TGSCOM, Inc. is not responsible for item numbers and/or descriptions that are changed or superseded by the manufacturer or distributor. We strive to keep the information listed on our website current, but occasionally an item will be changed/superseded/discontinued without our knowledge. Our product descriptions are based on the manufacturer's/distributor's catalogs and web sites. We are only able to provide the information that the manufacturer/distributor has supplied us with, and we cannot be held responsible for discrepancies in these descriptions. In some occurrences the images displayed on a product page may not reflect the exact item ordered. Therefore, we must insist that you verify that the image correctly represents the product described by the title and description listed on the item page before you place your order.

In an effort to continually provide our customers with the most current pricing and inventory status, we reserve the right to “refresh” or update any bookmarked content when the customer returns to the page containing said content. This policy more specifically applies to the 'shopping cart' feature of our websites. Some customers choose to place one or more items into the shopping cart on our website and then either bookmark the “View Cart” page within their Internet browser or navigate away from our website and return at a later time. Items placed into the shopping cart are stored there for 30 days as a convenience to our customers. Prices are subject to change at anytime. As such, when a customer returns to the shopping cart, via a bookmark or otherwise, we will display the most current pricing and pertinent item information.

What are my state's restrictions?

State restriction information is available on our websites as a convenience to our customers. The customer is ultimately responsible for knowing and following any local, city, county, state, and/or any other jurisdiction laws and/or ordinances as they pertain to the customer’s area.
