Terms of Service

Context

Effective September 13th, 2023, New York State now requires all ammunition purchasers to pass a state administered background check at the time of purchase. Please note that this ammo background check does not use the FBI NICS database that has been in use for decades for firearms purchases. Therefore, it's impossible to predict with any certainty who will pass NY's ammo background check. Even if you have a squeaky clean record, you may still end up getting delayed.

Terms of Service

Should you fail your background check at the time of transfer, you will have the following options:

  1. You can appeal your denial to NYS via the instructions at: https://nysnics.ny.gov. Saratoga Shooting Sports will not be involved in this process other than to reply to any inquiries made to us from a NYS agency. We will hold on to your shipment for 90 days while the appeal is pending, after which time, you must proceed with one of the other options below.
  2. If the online retailer allows returns from the FFL dealer, (many do not), we will ship the order back at a cost of $30 plus our actual cost of shipping. Note: The online retailer may also deduct a portion of your refund for restocking fees.
  3. Saratoga Shooting Sports will buy your order from you at a cost of 50% of the original purchase price. We will then turn around and try to sell the order at 65% of the original purchase price, first listing it on our own website and then after 30 days, on Gunbroker.

Communication

As a home-based FFL, Saratoga Shooting Sports does not keep regular hours. In order to keep the business running smoothly, we ask that our customers communicate effectively and in a timely manner, whether this be via email, text or voice phone. Please contact Saratoga Shooting Sports before placing an order, especially if this is your first order with us, just to make sure that the lines of communication are open and that we are able to provide you with the level of service that you deserve.
