Policies & Terms of Purchase
RETURNS
If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact us for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) request within 10 business days of the receipt of the product. If the item is returned unopened in the original box, we will exchange it, offer you store credit, or offer you a refund, less 25% restocking fee, based on your original method of payment. The product must be returned within 10 business days of the issuance of the RMA. All products must be packed in the original packaging, including any accessories, manuals, documentation and registration that shipped with the product. A 15% open box fee in addition to the 25% restocking fee (totaling 40%) will be assessed on any sealed product that is opened or removed from its original packaging.
Please note that we do not permit the return of the following products:
1. Special orders and products that are custom configured to your specifications.
2. Products sold “as is” or “used” or that have been installed or used after receipt.
3. Firearms and//or NFA items that require ATF Transfer after the start of paperwork.
4. Illumination devices, electronic sights, optics and night vision equipment.
NOTE: We recommend that you use a carrier that offers shipment tracking for all returns, and either insure your package for safe return or declare the full value of the shipment so that you are protected if the shipment is lost or damaged in transit. If you chose not to use a carrier that offers tracking and insure or declare the full value of the product, you will be responsible for any loss or damage to the product during shipping.
The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers limited tracking capabilities and that there is a 30-calendar-day waiting period before USPS will initiate a trace. The customer is responsible for shipping charges both ways on returns, as well as for shipping charges on shipments that are refused.

ONLINE PRICE & DESCRIPTION ERRORS
Our online inventory changes every day. Occasionally an item may appear on the site by mistake or the item’s description may contain a typographical error.

In the event that we cancel an order we will not charge the customer’s credit card or we will refund the money.
If an item’s description contains an error such as incorrect price and a customer makes the order, we will not process the order without first contacting the customer. If the order is mistakenly shipped, we may advise the customer to return the item in an unopened condition and we will refund the customer. By placing an order, the customer agrees that seller will be the final arbiter of discrepancies in the online catalog.

TRANSFERS
Standard Transfers:
We charge a transfer fee of $20 per firearm.
We do not transfer 80% firearms, personally made firearms (PMFs), black powder firearms, air rifles or pellet guns of any kind.
****ILLINOIS HAS A MELTING POINT LAW!****
What does that mean? Unfortunately, we cannot transfer or cause to be transferred any firearm that melts under the 800 degree point. These are mostly 22lr pistols such as Heritage Manufacturing. We will NOT transfer these firearms and you will be responsible for arranging return shipping to the seller.
There are only a few things that we request from the sender:
- A clear and legible copy of an FFL (or business name and FFL number) if coming from a business, or a clear and legible copy of a drivers license if coming from an individual.
- A name and phone number for the individual to receive the firearm. We want to ensure that we can let you know when your items arrive!
We are happy to send a copy of our FFL to anyone that needs it, but for faster service, click the link to access our current FFL.
Due to the 2020 changes to the federal forms, we must receive the firearm before you can complete the paperwork. When your firearm arrives, please come by the shop to complete your paperwork.
Our policy is that the waiting period begins when you have done this.
We allow 2 weeks to pick up your firearm unless you make other arrangements with us. We are happy to accept your transfer while you are out of town, stationed out of state, or deployed, but if you do not make prior arrangements, a $20 per week storage fee will be assigned to each firearm until they are picked up.
After 6 months, your firearm will be considered abandoned and disposed of as we see fit.
If you have any questions, please call us at (618) 433-2715 or email sales@piasaarmory.com
Lay A Way:
We offer instore layaway for customers whom wish to pay out their purchases, and is only available to new inventory. If for any reason the lay a way is defaulted on, (not paid off or denial on background check), the buyer will forfeit all monies applied towards the Lay A Way. Lay A Way can be upgraded to a higher dollar amount item 1 time, but cannot be downgraded and will still follow original schedule agreed to when the Lay A Way was created.
Consignments:
We will gladly accept your firearms for consignment, providing we can agree to an appropriate price to list your firearm at. We do ask that any consignment be left with us in store for a minimum of 90 days, as we will list them on our website and possibly other marketplaces. We do have a 20% consignment fee, that will be deducted from the sale price of the firearm (or collected from owner in the event they wish to remove the item from consignment), with any associated fees from listing on various market places.
