FFL Purchases
Cascadia Concealment is happy to help you with all your firearms purchases and NFA-regulated items. If you would like us to locate an item for you, send an email to FFLSales@cascadiaconcealment.com. All of the important info about the transfer process below also applies to you, with the exception that we don't charge for running the background check or completing the state DOL forms if the purchase is made directly from us.
In accordance with the law, all firearms shipped to Cascadia Concealment will be subject to the $18 Washington State Patrol processing fee at the time the firearm is released. *Note: this amount is subject to change via the rule making procedures.*
In accordance with RCW 9.41.010(7;16) any shipments sent with magazines meeting the Washington State definition of a "Large Capacity Magazine" as outlined in the law, cannot and will not be delivered to the purchaser, unless such magazines have been permanently modified so as to be compliant with the law.
FFL Transfer Services
If you are considering purchasing from an online sales platform and shipping it to us for the transfer, there are some important things we want you to know:
1. We both work full time jobs in addition to running Cascadia Concealment. That means even once your firearm is delivered, we need time to get home, log it in, and do our own paperwork before we contact you to come in.
2. We only do background checks and pickups by appointment. We try to be flexible, but have other demands on our schedule too.
3. We charge a $30 transfer fee to process the background check & complete the necessary forms for standard firearms.
4. We charge a $75 transfer fee for NFA-regulated items due to the extended period of time we will need to hold your item and fees associated with submitting the BATFE Form 3 on your behalf.
5. If your item shows up at our business without advanced notice, there will be an additional $20 fee.
6. Online purchases in WA are subject to sales tax. Updated 7/2020: Due to guidance we received from the Department of Revenue, Cascadia Concealment will collect appropriate sales tax on all online purchases, unless you can provide proof that sales tax has already been paid.
7. Any firearm or NFA-regulated item which results in our inability to contact you and arrange for a time to begin the transfer process within 28 calendar days (4 weeks), will incur a storage fee of $50, plus $3/day thereafter. All fees must be paid in full before a transfer will be initiated.
8. Similarly, because transfer approvals expire after 30 calendar days, any firearm not retrieved within 28 calendar days of the transfer approval will be subject to the storage fee of $50, plus $3/day thereafter, and a new transfer application fee ($20) will apply. All fees must be paid in full prior to release of the firearm.
