Basic guidelines for shipping firearms: *Handguns must be shipped 2nd day air by a contract carrier. Please do not use your local post office. We do not know the consequences of shipping it any other way, but we do know it is a law and why risk it? *Long guns and non-serialized parts can be shipped by ground service. USPS is the cheapest. *Please use either carrier pickup or take it directly to a service center, it will save you money and it is much more reliable than your local pack and ship center. *Please buy insurance for the full value of you items. Insurance is cheap, firearms are not and please note on your work order how much insurance you would like placed on your return shipment. *Declare that you are shipping an unloaded firearm for repairs. They should give you no trouble, it is perfectly legal. *MAKE SURE YOUR FIREARM IS UNLOADED!!!

We stand behind our work 100%. We follow the specifications to the tee and if a part doesnt pass QC, we start over until it's done perfectly.

We do not cover excessive wear from normal use (IE- drops, metal to metal, holster marks etc).
11When do I pay?
If you are local- you pay when you pick it up and are pleased with the results. If you are shipping your item than you have to pay prior to me shipping it back to you.
12Why does the color look different in pictures vs in person?
This is probably the most frustrating part as an applicator. Colors show up differently on monitors/phones etc. When you choose a coating I would prefer you come to the shop and verify with the swatch set. This will 100% match what you are looking for regardless of how the photo comes out (since iphone/apple enhance it will look darker/lighter) than it really is. Rest assured- it is exactly the color chosen.
