RENTAL RETURNS

BLANK FIRING PROP WEAPONS

The best alternative to return your blank firing props is to re-visit the gun store you used to take delivery. The owner of the gun store can arrange to have the firearms returned to our warehouse. Inquire at time of transfer about charges from the gun store owner for this service. NOTE: Most public shipping centers (UPS STORE) will not ship firearms.

Remember – a rental will incur additional charges for returns

arriving past the RETURN DATE shown on your rental contract.

Pistols/Revolvers

According to Federal statutes, the shipment of handguns, including pistols and revolvers must be via a “Next-Day” AIR service (i.e. Federal Express Priority or UPS Red Label Next Day Air) only. We understand the use of this type of service might be costly, but we know the difficult issues encountered when accounting for a stolen/missing weapon. Please assist us in preventing such a dilemma.

Shotguns/Rifles

The return of our rental long guns, for example shotguns and rifles, may be shipped using any courier service and level available. UPS Ground/FedEx Ground are the best cost-effective and reliable methods available.

REPLICA/RUBBER PROP WEAPONS

To return replica and rubber props, use the same box in which the props were delivered. FedEx Ground or UPS Ground are cost-effective methods and can be utilized from any local shipping store. We ask you package the props BEFORE entering a place of business to arrange for shipping, and that you insure the box for the total of the replacement cost as shown on your copy of the rental contract.

NEVER SHIP ANY WEAPONS VIA THE US POSTAL SERVICE!
